Weekly Summary #9: A stitch in time

M. Marshall 3.22

Sometimes I wonder if the titles of my weekly summary are the most creative thing I have on this website. Hopefully everyone appreciates them like I do, otherwise, this is pretty embarrassing.

What did I do this week?

1. Made a post about my radio show progress:

Radio Show: Week One

2. My radio show design promo:

Promo!

(Told you guys I’d incorporate my cat more)

3. Two audio assignments (technically one video assignment I turned into an audio assignment)

Create a commercial!

Radio Show Intermission

That was definitely the most work this week.

4. 3 TDCs!

1. Show a photo of confusion

2. Creative message punch card (Taylor’s version)

3. How do you celebrate St. Patrick’s day?

That’s it for me! Until next week!

Week 9

This week was mainly full of comunication between the group and trying to figure out what direction we wanted to go with the show. We eventallu came up with a idea everyone agreed on and proceeded to create a outline with script.

Radio show progress

Spooky Season

Guess the song

The audio assignment were pretty simple and i completed them by using soundcloud and a soundcloud downloader to turn the soundcloud link into a downloadable file. Also for the Spooky season assignemnt i used a audio editing software to shorten and put the sound clips together.

The daily created were pretty easy I found thursdays one with the digital punchcard based off of what message was type was pretty interesting.

Is This Thing On? Oh, It’s Not Yet?

Radio show week one, let’s go! I started with the audio assignments before jumping in to the design work. I LOVE podcasts, so I took my own swing at making an ad. I find that I like working with audio every time I do it, so I enjoyed this week. After that, I got right in to the second assignment. I altered one of the assignments into the audio bank just slightly so that we could use it as the intro for our show. Gotta love an old crooner.

For my design, I opted to also create the cover/front-facing branding for our show! I really enjoy logo making, so I pounced on that. Not much else to say about the radio show that wasn’t said in my update.

And, as always, the Daily Creates.

Weekly Summary: Week 9

This week was mainly focused on the begining of creating our radio shows. I met with my three other group members on Monday over zoom to discuss what our plan was and how we were going to work our show out. I talk more about this on my progress blog post.

The rest of the week was pretty much working on my solo assignments. I started to create my portion of the radio show with scripts for my segment, a commercial, a show flyer, my daily creates, and my two audio assignments.

I wanted my two audio assignments to help me make progress with my portion of the radio show so I chose creating a commercial and creating a news story. I plan to use my commercial as one of the ones my group will be using in our final radio show. I chose the news story assignment because that is basically what are entire show is. Although I still have to come up with another story or two to fill up my 5-7 min slot, this assignment helped me to get a head start. I wrote a news story and had AI read it out. I tried the Colossyan website and was able to create an AI generated presentation from my script but then when I went to download it I had a lot of issues.

Weekly Summary #8: Rhymes with great

M. Marshall 3.14

Happy Pi Day! That’s kind of fun.

This week was not super stressful for me which I loved, here’s what I did.

I joined a group! The members are me, Emily, Sam, and Brigid. We shared about our characters, talked through some ideas, I think it’s gonna work out well. We’re doing a Zoom meeting in the next few days to really fully flesh out our ideas and work together best. I think it’s gonna be pretty cool!

Daily creates:

#1: Colorize a photo (This was too big to fit so you’ll just have to click on the link)

#2: Something I would name after myself (can you tell I’m bitter?)

#3: My best decision so far.

I know I don’t need to have a goal this week, but can I change the color of the words on this website? I really should visit the DKC again…

That’s all for this week! I’ll be back soon.

Weekly Summary: Week 9

This week I was able to interact with my classmates in a different way than I normally get to. We had to make groups for our radio show groups and come up with ideas or a theme of our show. I only know one person in this class so I reached out to him and he was able to find us two other group members. I emailed each group member to get their numbers and we created a group chat. Once the group chat was made and we went over introductions we started talking about what we thought would be cool for our radio show. We each gave ideas and also went over our individual course character to see what we could branch off of that too. It was fun to interact with people outside of just commenting on their posts or favoriting their daily creates.

Getting Back in to ds106!

Following Spring Break, I’m thankful that this week was so light. I’m in a radio show group with Rebecca and Ethan, and we’re going to get started working soon! It’s going to be true crime, but all of the crimes were commited by our course characters. Writing the script for this will be interesting, for sure! The Daily Creates this week were interesting, and I enjoyed reading the color names list.
