This week, I worked with Rebecca on the trailer for our final project. I had more to say about it in the blog post dedicated to it, so go check that out!
As always, the daily creates.

Week 12
This week I worked on finalizing the story and theme of how I wanted to apporach the final project. I also worked on and completed the trailer for the project.
I look forward to completing the Final Project and preseting a story about an AI taken over world
Along with the the trailer I completed 3 TDC this week, with no of them sticking out of being any particular fun or exciting
Weekly Summary: Week 11
This week was pretty light. The group that I worked on the radio show with decided to work together for the final. We started brainstorming some ideas but are still very much in the early stages of our product.
I was unable to join the radio show this week to hear the rest of the classes shows because I had games this week that prevented me from being available. My group mates joined and told me that they heard a lot of good things.
Lastly, were my daily creates. The first one I did was for April Fools day. My team lifts at 6am and the upperclassmen decided to show up late and in a different uniform than all the freshman. They started calling us and checking our locations. Later that day they got us back with a water gun ambush. The next daily create I did was the open the door. I thought that when I clicked on the link something was going to happen to the door… but nothing did. I went into canva and created an open door image and placed a unicorn inside because that’s what I wanted to be on the other side of the door. Lastly, I did the ironic name. I google searched ironic names and most of the ones that popped up were silly memes like this one of the sheep that I used.
Overall this week was nice and I can’t wait to see what my group comes up with for the final.

Noir Games? More Like Yes Games!
I listened to Noir Games, which aired after my group’s radio show. One of the things that struck me most about this show was their use of computereized voices as well as a cloned Dr. Oblivion! I was really impressed that the creators of this show were able to convey such emotion and personality through voices that were clearly not human. I did find it a bit confusing trying to figure out who was talking at a couple of points, but overall I think their format was effective.
The balance of all the voices was great, and it was so neat that stero was used and that different voices were coming from different sides of a table. The sound effects were jarring at first, but ultimately ended up working well with the show.
I haven’t been exposed to any radio-game-shows, but it was very enjoyable! I think it was a clever way to tie in the tech-noir theme and jokes without feeling like they were putting a hat on a hat. Through this class and one of my other classes, I’m realizing how hard it is to engage with futuristic themes without making it feel like a cheesy sci-fi movie, so I commend Noir Games for that.
In terms of listening to my own group’s show, Days of Crime and Roses, I don’t have as much to say. It was a lot of fun to have a somewhat synchronous experience with the other folks in this class, and I love getting feedback, so lurking on Discord was great. I was more critical of things hearing it over the air than I was listening to it on my laptop, but I think more of that has to do with the public setting rather than the actual radio. It was neat to get to go on air with Rebecca and talk about our process a bit!
This post is doubling as my Weekly Sumamry, so as always, The Daily Creates.
Week 11
This week was fairly easy in terms of workload, but I really enjoyed logging in and listening to the different radio broadcasts. Each show had its own unique style and creativity. The way the stories were told along with the advertisements placed within the shows added an extra layer of entertainment. It was interesting to see how each group approached their show differently, bringing fresh ideas and creativity to the project.
Thursday daily create about deciphering something gave me the idea to do something from a classic fairy tale Jack and the bean stalk
Weekly Summary #10: Radio Show Week!

It’s crazy that we are in week 10. I don’t feel so much like I’m fumbling around on this website now. So that’s a definite improvement. Most of the work this week for me was putting together the audio and recording my own for the radio show, so here it is:
And now my daily creates!
Day 1:
Can you find all 18 faces?
Day 2:
It’s true! I have 4 younger siblings, but she’s the baby 
My favorite time of year is the 6 day period where she and I are 10 years apart (10 and 20 was pretty cool but what I’m really excited for is 20 and 30).
That is all for this week!
Week 10
This weeks daily creates were extremely easy and didnt take much time to complete. I did find the day were we draw any object into one side of the program and it converted it into something else but using the pictures that was already progammed very interesting.
Ok, Now Is This Thing On?
Radio show week (or really, radio show week two)! Our group could not meet to record episodes together, so instead we focused on creating a cohesive sound with different hosts. I think it went well, scheduling conflicts considered! I recorded my episode directly into Audacity, which made editing a breeze. I added in the show’s intro and then just had to cut out any mistakes I made in favor of the better take. I used the ad I made last week in the middle of the episode to break things up. My episode is embedded here, but for the finished product, please head over to Rebecca’s Radiant Realm!
And, as always, The Daily Creates.
Weekly Summary: Week 10
This week was a lot of compiling our final radio show. Last week we has split the tasks so that we were all doing a fair amount of work. Our main idea was to create a new broadcast. This way we can use all our characters and make a cohesive show while still having individual aspects.
My broadcast was based in Philadelphia and my class character, Natasha Slayer, was the news reporter. I created two stories with a tech noir theme to try and tie this all into the main theme of the class. The stories talked about different cyber uprisings and chaos in the city. In addition to the two news stories I also contributed a commercial to my group. Although this strays from the tech noir theme I chose to make a Dunkin Donuts commercial. I used Audacity to create this using my voice and other background sounds/ music.
Maddie in my group will be compiling all of our recordings into one clip to make the completed show (shoutout Maddie!!).
Lastly for this week, I did two daily creates. The first one I did was the image to image cat creation. I drew a house and generated an image where the drawing was filled in with a cat. I’m not sure if that’s exactly what the prompt was asking me to do but i thought it was silly so i kept it. The second one I did was the tell us what you love. I chose a picture of the beach that I live at. It represents more than just my love of the beach but also home and my family which I love more than anything. Summer is my favorite and spending time on the beach.
