Promo Poster

Admittedly, this week entirely got away from me with work emergencies and doctors appointments, but I was able to get the promo poster done for our group! I took inspiration from the bumper sticker made earlier this week by my groupmate. They had mentioned in their write up of struggling how to make the font futuristic, so I thought adding some glitch-like font effects would maybe help the cause. I tried to keep with their color and logo choices, but add a bit more nuance because a poster provides more space than a bumper sticker.

This Week Working With The Radio Show Fearless Femme Beauties:

This week was a blast! Up in the banner above is of me and all of my archetype radio show members. This was also my work for my Cyber 75 The Vibe Radio Show Design Project Assignment. I decided to make a banner that includes all group members so this can represent us as a whole and also individually because each character is rightfully different and should be appreciated in their own way. Also – Just to note, some of these pictures are from the actual pages of these characters but some are not. I picked out some of the pictures myself because I wanted everyone to have their own picture to represent them and put a face to the name. Just in case you try to go to their pages, and you don’t see these pictures there. Now you know.

The first audio assignment I completed was to Create a Radio Bumper. I did this for the DS106 radio show and wanted to try to create another one this radio show. This bumper is intended to be used during a section of the radio show that reminds people who the Fearless Femmes are, what we do, why, and how they can be a part of it. I also tried to make it a bit more personal between one character and the audience, sometimes it may seem more personal talking to the audience like that than the whole group saying something.

The second audio assignment I completed was the Radio Show Intermission Assignment. I chose this audio assignment to help build our story line and to add some spice to the radio show. I gave more exposure on each characters name and exposed “secrets” or “tea” to keep listeners engaged.

Overall Progress That Was Made This Week:

Cyber 75 The Vibe Radio Show In-Progress (Featuring the Fearless Femmes)

We had our first meeting this past Monday, and since then we have accomplished a ton. In my post, I’ve put bullet points on most of the things we’ve done, clearly set out what we want to accomplish, and what plans we have in the future (next week). So far, we have really stuck to the plan and the plan has been executed beautifully by everyone. Overall, I’m very happy with the progress we’ve made.

Last But Not Least; Some Daily Creation Fun!

Daily Create Shenanigans – Week 9 is where I posted my daily creates.

I posted about what confusion looks like to me, how I celebrated St. Paddy’s Day, and had the chance to talk about the little cute fishies I found on Etsy!

Great topics this week 🙂

I really enjoyed working with my group this week and can’t wait for us to put all of hard work together next week when we create the final product.

I really enjoyed working with my group this week and can’t wait for us to put all of hard work together next week when we create the final product.

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.

Cyber 75 The vibe (Featuring the Fearless Femmes) Radio Show Intermission

Radio Show Intermission was the second Assignment that I chose from the assignment bank.

I created this intermission for the Fearless Femmes Segment on Cyber 75 The Vibe Radio Show. It was a little off script and last minute than what we had originally planned for but it is still on track with our story line and it’s almost 2 minutes long so if we need a nice filler or a piece to help build our story line, I figured this would be perfect and a nice option to have if we need it.

It’s only Sapphria Mae who is talking and it’s mainly about her spilling the beans for her own personal gain, while also intending to try to keep listeners engaged with “secrets” or “tea”. Sapphria also talks about the other characters by their names, giving more exposure to who is who, and also to get listeners excited for the next part/or half of our segments. Also – She is a femme fatale, so this is perfect for her archetype traits.

I created this recording on my iPhone and then uploaded it to Audacity. I looked up the sound effects and the background music all on FreeSounds.org. I started the track with “elevator music” and a DJ scratch to let listeners know that this is a “break” from the show. Then I just played around with the track for a little bit until I was satisfied. One thing I made sure to do was to turn the background music at a much lower level than my audio recording sound so the whole thing wasn’t overwhelming or hard to hear me.

Getting Ready for the radio show

This week most of my time went to planning and perfecting things to put into our radio show.

After meeting with the group Monday my job was to create radio bumpers and intermissions. I have improved so much at using audacity to edit and sync audio together.

Starting with the intermission I created, I wanted to make a quick bumper that would catch the listeners attention. I envision this to come on after a commercial and right before the show starts back.

To captivate the listeners I wanted to use a glitchy/siren/static sound effect. I feel like this sound captivates people because it almost sounds like a warning message. This sound also goes with the theme of tech noir and cyber punk so I felt it fit very well.

I used Narakeet to transcribe my script into a cool sounding voice over. I used Freesound to find different glitchy/static sound effects that felt fitting to the show and synced them all together in audacity.

The hardest part with the intermission was lowering the volume of the sound effects so it wasn’t to overpowering. I’m still learning audacity so I had to watch a couple youtube videos to figure out how to lower the volume, but I really like the outcome of the intermission!

Listen to the intermission

For the radio bumper, we agreed as a team that we wanted them to be upbeat and “pop” like, while still being tech noir aesthetic.

I decided to make the background music a little bit more “pop” and upbeat and then for the voice over it sounds a bit more glitchy to connect it with the tech noir side.

I really liked the way this bumper came out. I think it’s kind of catchy which I think is important for radio bumpers.

I used the same tools to create the bumper as I did for the intermission which were, Audacity for editing and syncing, Narakeet for transcribing a script into a voiceover, and Freesound for upbeat sound effects.

The most difficult task in this assignment was really just choosing which voice over I wanted. There are so many choices to choose from on Narakeet, so i listened to multiple voices over and over to see which would fit best in the bumper. Picking my background sound first helped me pick the voice over because I had an idea of what I was going for at this point.

Listen to the Bumper

The Promo videoI created was probably the easiest out of all the assignments. I created it on Canva which is probably why it was so easy for me. I’ve become very familiar and comfortable with Canva so, it doesn’t take me too long to get the outcome I want.

The idea behind the promo video I made was that we could use it as promotion on our social media accounts. So I wanted it to have cool captivating graphics, catchy background music, but also short and straight to the point.

I really liked adding all of our group members course character social media accounts at the end. I thought it was a clever way to let the class know which course characters are in this radio show.

See the promo video

The Fearless Femmes have made so much progress on our radio show. We’ve been staying in touch through our group chat and updating each other in our shared google doc on the work we’ve completed. I think our show is gonna turn out super cool and i’m excited to see the outcome. We still have a little bit too finish before we start recording like the outro and solidifying our topics of discussion.

Radio show Progress

I completed 3 daily creates this week Tuesday – Thursday. I’m really enjoying the creativity of the prompts and I love seeing what everyone else does for their creates. You can check out mine here:

Daily creates

Overall I think it’s been a very successful week in preparing for next weeks radio show. I used my time wisely by using the 2 audio assignments as a way to get started on creating content for our show and I think it worked out great! I’ve never recorded a podcast so I look forward to creating it next week. I’m also so excited to listen to everyone else’s podcasts!

Sincerely, Kristen

Radio Show Progress

My group “The Fearless Femmes” had a lot of progress this week. We met Monday night to get to know each other and our characters as well as, solidify our team name, make an appointment with the DKC, and come up with topics for our radio show. We also evenly distributed amongst each other who should do commercials and who should do radio bumpers.

We’ve been communicating in our group chat almost everyday, to keep each other updated and asking for advice on our bumpers/commercials/and intermissions. We also made a google doc as a place we can all put our updated bumpers/intermissions/and commercials in.

So far we have an intro, lots of commercials to choose from, as well as lots of radio bumpers to choose from.

The only ting we really have left is an outro and to actually do the podcast.

I think we’re moving at a great pace and have plans to record early so we’re able to edit and get the podcast turned in on time.

Overall I think we’re working great as a team and i’m excited to see the results of our podcast!

Sincerely, Kristen

Thoughtful creates

This week I completed 3 daily creates. I getting so much better at not thinking too much on the daily creates and just having fun with them.

I really just look forward to seeing how everyone else interpreted the creates.

The first daily create I did was Tuesday this week. The prompt was to show a picture of confusion. I decided to show a picture of tangled jewelry. Not only is this one of the most annoying things to happen, but i’m always confused on how or when my jewelry got tangled in the first place. Then even more confusion starts when you attempt to untangle it.

Tuesday

The next create I completed was Wednesday. The prompt was to create a moccasin design. I’ve always loved moccasins. I like that almost all of them have a unique and intricate pattern or color scheme. I’m not the best artist especially when it comes to intricate designs so, I asked Gemini to “draw an intricate moccasin design with little color.” I wanted to see what it would come up with and this is what it was.

Wednesday

The final create of the week was to create a hidden message. I used to love creating these when I was a lot younger and seeing if my friends could figure out the code. I decided to make the code a lyric from one of my favorite songs “Breathin” by Ariana Grande”.

Thursday

I hope you enjoy the daily creates this week. I loved seeing everyone else’s interpretations.

Sincerely, Kristen

Cyber 75 The Vibe Radio Show Design Project (Featuring The Fearless Femmes)

This is the radio show banner that I created for The Fearless Femmes Group that are the main hosts of the Cyber 75 Radio Show.

They will have a segment that will play every Wednesday Evening @ 6:15pm ET. This segment will be a talk show where people can call in and talk to all the Femmes about their life, share stories, or to mainly ask them for advice on futuristic Technoir types of problems.

I created this banner on Canva. There are some pictures that I used that the other girls have already posted on their pages about their characters; But if I wasn’t able to find one, I found a picture for them and inserted it into the banner. I figured this would give the group a better representation as a whole and still add some individuality into it as well since all of our characters are rightfully different. I wanted to show each one of them off! My intentions here were to create an elegant image for the group and put a face to each character.

I also chose this color for the background because it has gone with the theme of Sapphria Mae’s green vibes, and because it had an elevated cyber punk look to it (in my opinion) with the added glow in each corner but also has a more matte and gracious color in the middle giving it a balanced look as well.

I REALLY enjoyed making this one; I loved getting to include all of my group’s characters!!
