Weekly Summary: Week 8 (DS106)

This week has been a breeze. I enjoyed everything I did for this class. The daily creates were very good and they made me be creative. I am looking forward to the radio show with my group mates Andrew Poon and Andrew Johnson. I think we have a really good group and we will have plenty of topics to discuss.

One thing I have noticed about the daily creates is you can make it personal! I am a guy who loves all sports especially the NBA. I love watching Kawhi Leonard break his opponents ankles on the way to dunking over the tallest centers. The way he plays is special so I decided to make a piece of art after him.

This is Kawhi Leonard. In my eyes he is the greatest basketball player to ever play. He is a two time NBA Finals MVP. He has carried teams from their lowest points and taken them to the peak of their career. He makes the players around him better as well. I used ScrapColoring to color this originally black and white image of Kawhi Leonard.

Addiction

Addiction is something many people in the world struggle with every single day. This is when somebody relies on something for their every day life to go on. I am addicted to food. I could not go a day without food because I love it so much as well as you need food to stay alive.

Weekly Summary: Week 7 (DS106)

This was an enjoyable week in DS106. I liked making some propaganda and I have always enjoyed making daily creates. I love to get creative when it comes to the daily creates and this is a way for me to think outside the box and use my imagination some.

The public service announcement was awesome. I liked being able to make this and edit it to my liking. I ran into a few problems when I was done with the project when it came to saving and uploading to WordPress, however after trying to do some different things to try to make it work ended up working. I used iMovie for this assignment and it became much easier to save and upload.

See y’all in week 8!

AI PSA

I was having trouble properly making this audio at first, however all it took was some trial and error and I had it down. I used Pixabay to find my background audio. I used speechgen.io and typed in what I wanted the AI to say and exported that into audacity. I was having trouble saving my audacity file so I exported it to iMovie and finished up the project using iMovie. Having a MacBook I have found it much easier to use iMovie for these audio and video assignments.

All I did was type in “Kawhi Leonard”, my favorite NBA player and this appeared. Im not really sure what I am looking at here but it seems random. It looks like a collage of 4 random pictures. One of Kawhi shooting alone, a picture of just a bench, a picture of his coach from two teams ago and a picture with some people. This seems pretty random, but when it comes to art, anything can become art.

The postage stamp has been around since the 1800’s. After doing some research, a postage stamp can basically be anything. The only usage for postage stamps are as payment for mailing out items. Postage stamps are a major way that post offices make money. I made my postage stamp unique. This is former professional baseball player and hall of fame Declan Forrer.

Propaganda!

I generated an AI generated photo of “man pointing at the camera in a stern manner” which came up with this image. I took the image to a meme generator and made it say “You got this, bro.” This is supposed to be an encouraging message for anyone who comes across this propaganda.
