  • Slide Guy Collection – Stanley Cup, Surfer, Bronco, Duck Tour

    I caught the DS106 Slide Guy! assignment bug early on but only Tweeted them out. Jim Groom gave me some flack for by not feeding the assignment stream with a proper post. So here’s my collection in the order in which I made each Slide Guy. In honor of game six of the Stanley Cup finals, which NJ lost. So…

  • Fat Cats Make Better Art History Assignments

    Originally posted in my summer teaching with technology course, but it’s a new fat cat so I had to get it in the ds106 stream! Today we are going to play with digital storytelling as a tool for teaching and learning.   In one of Alan Levine’s talks about digital storytelling, he included a slide…

  • Groom QR Code

    While doing a search for propaganda ideas, I found this site that celebrates all sorts of Star Wars fan art. There’s probably a few dozen pieces to inspire new ds106 assignments. One in particular caught my eye, as ready for some ds106 riffing, Darth Vader QR Code. It was apparently created by a Greek graphic…

  • Buck’s Revenge

    cc licensed ( BY ) flickr photo shared by Michael Branson Smith I came across this sign and Cheryl Colan’s re-imagined road signs assignment through a course I’m teaching this semester (more on that in another post). Cheryl also created an awesome tutorial for making silhouettes in Photoshop and Illustrator. I saw that only three people haf done this one so far,…

  • Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do.

    I’ve been meaning to do a triple troll after seeing the explosion of triple trolls across ds106. I figured the “last breath” deserved a triple troll. The three characters I chose all fall from the heights of corrupt power. Colonel Kurtz arguably is a corruption out of corruption, but I felt he still figured well…

  • Smoke, Fuel, Burn

    Rimi ‘Kookaburra’ Morita posted a cropped sign assignment a couple of days ago giving a unique interpretation of Cogdog’s Assignment. But more importantly Rimi’s post was the first post (tagged correctly) to appear in that assignment’s stream. So in the spirit of doing a ds106 visual or design assignment not ever done before I’m choosing Cogdog’s sadly…

  • 4 Icon Challenge – They Said I Led a Dull Life

    I still enjoy making my own icons for this assignment using the live trace tool in Illustrator. I made a quick tutorial of how I do this using the Dr. Oblivion image as my example to convert a bitmap to vectors. And please guess away, the biplane should be the tell tale icon for most!

  • Primary Colors with 50 Flickr Images

    First off thanks Timmmmyboy for creating this assignment and the tutorial to go with it. It was great to be walked through a tool I had  never used before in Photoshop. And second thanks to ds106 for always finding ways to exercise your creative side! I deviated a little from Tim’s assignment by selecting 30-50…

  • Four Icon Challenge – Deliverance

    John Boorman’s survivalist film Deliverance rendered in four icons.
