Prepping for week 9

This week was extremely chill, which like another classmate mentioned in their blog, it kind of gave me anxiety. I read over this weeks plan multiple times to make sure I wasn’t missing anything.

I was able to find my group relatively quickly. We’ve already agreed on a story line for our radio show. Our whole group of characters are Femme Fatales, so we’re going to base our show off of that and talk about random topics as our character.

I’m really excited I feel this will be more difficult then it sounds, but i’m ready for the challenge. We’ve shared contact information and we agreed to meet Monday to talk about the radio show.

One thing I’m excited about is to put a face to some of the blogs i’ve seen. I don’t know a lot of people in this class but everyone’s blogs look so cool so i’m excited to see the person behind the blog.

Here are the three daily creates I decided to do this week. They aren’t super exciting as previous weeks, but I think they’re still worth a look.

I’m super excited to get started on the radio show next week. I’ve never done anything like this so it should be a fun experience. I’m also so excited to see what everyone else comes up with. Everyone is so creative it should be fun to see the finished project of everyones radio show.

I hope you guys enjoyed, see you next week..

Sincerely, Kristen

Week 8 Summary:

Week 8 was about forming our groups for the upcoming radio show project and doing daily creates that challenged our mental creativity. My favorite daily create of the week was getting to colorize a photo in pimpin’ purple using canva, it was harder than I expected and I couldn’t find the car I was looking for but I was able to find something similar. I also really enjoyed the daily create in which we were questioned on what we would want named after us. It made me think about what type of legacy I want to leave on the world and if I would ever be able to do something great enough to join the having something named after me club. The last daily create was fun and simple as I found a picture on X (formally Twitter) that honored pi day in a creative way by baking a pie outlined with the numerical value of pi surrounding the outer rim. I look forward to finishing strong and getting started with the group project, right now we’re working on the beginning phases like scheduling and contact methods.

Daily creates:

Daily create number 1: which was inspired by a Kurt Vonnegut tweet that questioned us on what we would want named after us giving the example of shrapnel being invited by a Englishman with the same name. This reminded my of Henry Ford and his major effect on car industry, with that in mind I decided to take a pinch of his success and would take over dodge and have it named after me.

Daily create number 2: challenged us to pick a color from a list that appeals to us and colorize a photo with it. I decided to do pimpin’ purple and customize a car with it as it reminded me of the character a ‘a pimp named slicked back’ from the boondocks a popular show.

Daily create number 3: The final daily create I did for the week was to honor Pie day (3.14…) and for this post I found a pie someone either created using A.i or baked in honor of pie day on X.

Weekly Summary #8: Rhymes with great

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.

Weekly Summary- 3/14

This week was a fairly low radar week compared to others. Coming back from spring break was a bit of a challenge to get reacclimated, but pushed on nonetheless. This week, I reached out in the discord and figured out a group to do the upcoming radio show project, and started to coordinate ideas with them regarding our plans for the show (tune in soon!!). Besides that, did the usual for the week and commented on my classmates different posts, and did 3 daily creates, of which will be included below as always.

Week 8

This week was pretty simple, which I’m very thankful for since I’ve been insanely busy.

I teamed up with Carson and Dakota for our radio show project.

I also wrote an idea for our group’s radio show. It was a bit challenging because I had to come up with a creative way for the characters to interact.

This week, our class had to form into our groups for the upcoming radio show assignments. my groupmates and I have all introduced ourselves to each other and created a fun group chat! We also have already planned a zoom meeting on this coming Monday to bring all of our ideas together. I’m very excited to talk with everyone and narrow our focus to prepare for the upcoming weeks in this class. This group radio show project will take this class to a new creative level! It has been fun getting to be individually creative but I’m very stoked to get to share creativity with others in this class.

Week 8 Summary

Stuck in darkness

Daily Creates

This week was a good week fresh off spring break with room to breathe! Feeling the creative juices flow and for once not completely dreading a group project. Introverted with social anxiety is not a great combination when it comes to group projects. Still my fear of failure is stronger than my fear of people. Looking forward to starting next week I imagine me and the sound library will become good friends again. This week I enjoyed looking through the characters to create my mini-introduction to my story it’s a shame I won’t get to do it, but it was fun to think of. Enjoyed making the random Canva stuff too. I like it a lot. Overall, a calm week which is what we need to get our molecules right.

Found everyone for the group now it’s time to consider how best to meet and talk everything out. As usual lots of unique daily create topics thought the graph one had me stuck since it’s been a hot minute since I had to do an info graphic, it was actuality my fsem course. Good thing I am still blasting Not Like Us.
