DS 106 gave me a chance to create my own meme, seeing as how “Bad Luck Brian” is one of my favorites I took the opportunity to make my own.

ds106.Design Assignment.Postcards from Magical Places – A Minecraft Island Camp

Sunday, June 17th, 2012

I enjoy this island camp which is similar, in many ways, to my island home. I send a postcard to an artist friend who is presently working in Mexico. This is my postcard to Amelia White.

Written side of postcard

This assignment challenged me but was fun because I used skills with with I am familiar along with exciting, new techniques. First, after learning about Minecraft, I copied the Minecraft environment from the site. I determined my desired postcard size. Then, I made the written side of my postcard on paper, ruling it and using two found stamps. I created a message to my fictitious friend and wrote the message in contrasting ink. I photoshopped a bit. Then, I scanned the written side and matched the sizes in my blog.

Please let me know what you think.

John Cage’s 10 Rules for Students and Teachers

Saturday, June 16th, 2012

Martha Burtis tweeted this bag of gold a day or two again from the great John Cage. I am posting it here for posterity, it very much describes the way in which we have tried to approach ds106, and I think I will be writing this into any and all future syllabi I create  from here on out.

Name that 80s Movie #3

Bear with us, we will be moving to the next level of difficulty shortly. Hopefully you are feeling appropriately confident, but keep in mind the next three will separate the parachute pants wearers from the stonewashed jeans junkies.

Here is #2 of the Name that 80s movie, and don’t get cocky people, we are just warming up.  Take the lay-ups while you have the chance :)

Update (forgot the attribution): The keys are from here, the guitar from here, the protestor from here, and the airplane from here.

GQ’s Newest Man of the Year Abides

Friday, June 15th, 2012

It’s bad form, I know, but I can’t stop doing my own awesome assignment for Animating Magazine Covers. Although I blame this one on Paul Bond, whose animated cover of Parenting featuring a heart-to-heart between Jack and Danny Torrance inspired me to go back to this animated GIF by IWDRM and but The Dude on the cover of GQ. I mean let’s face it, he deserves it, man.

What I love about this take on that assignment is it starts to use pre-exisiting GIFs to culture jam some of the pre-conceived ideas and expectations of a particular magazine’s agenda. And given how many magazines there are, there could potentially be an endless supply of inspiration. I guess the tabloids are next ;)
