“Sharing is Caring,” words my mother instilled in me a long time ago. I found this picture on the Creative Commons website and it looked as if all the origami birds are looking over and reviewing something. That is where I got the idea of  ”Flocking Together.. Sharing Ideas.” I also like how each bird is a different color and for my it symbolized different cultures. Or maybe I just read in to it a little too much.

I feel that this picture really shows what the Creative Commons is about. I know it’s a tad bit corny, but a bunch of birds together is a flock, and the creative commons allows you to share work with many people. Sometimes when sharing things you have to be sure that you aren’t doing anything illegal and I believe the Creative Commons allows you to share works without the fear of being punished.

I absolutely love where I am from. Colonial Beach, Va. It is a very small beach, but it gets a lot of attention during the holidays and the summer. When I saw this assignment I got a tad bit excited. Mainly because not many people know where Colonial Beach, Virginia is.

This again was an easy assignment to do. I just uploaded the pictures to “PicsArt” and clicked “Add Text.”  Again, I just typed what I wanted in the box and dragged and dropped it where I wanted it. I made the colors orange and yellow because they seem “beachy” and also do make it work a little with the background.

My life revolves around music. Music is one of my main types of communication. Words that I couldn’t say, I would find a song that stated how I felt and played it for the person, or ask the person to listen to it. I was always on the top of my music but listening to all types of music and trying my hardest to relate to it. When I seen I could design my own autobiography cover, I knew exactly what I wanted.

I started this collage by finding a picture of something dealing with music and had a heart in it. When I came across this picture on “PicsArt” I downloaded it to the “PicsArt” program. I then clicked “Add Text” and added the words “musics speaks to my heart” and dragged it onto the picture. I chose to add the text so people could know exactly what music does for me and why I love it so much.

This picture of four people holding hands is a great design for DS106. Everyone pretty much knows that this is an online class so we don’t physically see each other everyday. But with that, it is amazing to me how we can all come together as one and get things done. For example, the collage for the bunks. It was a hard task to get everyone to submit their pictures. I had to find everyone in my bunk on Twitter and send out a group message several times. In the end, we all came together, like the people in the picture, and made on big happy bunk family. That is the main reason why I think this is a great design to symbolize the unity of DS106.

I took this picture  in church a couple of week ago, when my cousin, Mariah, was eating a pop tart and not sharing. Every time someone someone asked her for a piece she would give them this look. When I seen the option of making a captioned picture I knew this would be the one.

I again used a photo editor called “PicsArt” and started with a blank project. I uploaded the picture and clicked the option of “Add Text.” Then a white box popped up that allowed me to add the text I wanted. (I had to do this twice, once for the word up top and then for the words down bottom). I dragged and dropped the words to where I wanted them and that was it. Her face and the caption work perfectly.
