My number one most okayest idea is to create a website or digital text of some sort that looks at different interpretations around the world of the Trump campaign and inauguration. Throughout the world, responses were varied and it is this varying of thought about the event that my project seeks to analyze and make…
7: Ok-est 3 Ideas
My first idea, and probably the most doable, involves mixing audio and visual content. The recent winter Olympic games reminded me of just how funny sports narration can be when taken out of context, and I think it could be even more well employed when layered over videos that do not match, at least not…
7: Remix/Recirculate Idea…
Hello! My idea for this second project is to make a complicated video/gif project. I want to take a poem, make an erasure poem from that, make video representations of the original and the erasure poem, and take those videos and make gifs from them. The video representations will hopefully be different enough that…
7. My Remix Pitch
I had a few ideas for a remix but in the end I decided to combine the audio from an advertisement for oil with the video from a nature documentary. This would serve to highlight the irony of propaganda when compared to reality. Its audience would be young people interested in environmental activism. I would…
Commonly Creative Landscapes
I chose Landscape as my keyword to search in the Creative Commons. I was expecting to see panoramic vistas of landscapes from places I hadn’t been. To my surprise, a large number of the photos I found seemed to be landscapes that other people had drawn. They were artistic drawings and other wallpaper-esque images. However,…
Creative Commons: A Sad Sampling of Society’s Art
I was already familiar with Creative Commons through some other projects I’ve done in high school and college, so I was excited to see this as the topic of today’s blog post. However, I discovered quickly that I am now less impressed with it than I used to be, though I’m not thoroughly sure why…
6: Creative Commons
I’ve had people recommend using Creative Commons to get pictures for different assignments before, but I’ve never actually used it until now. In the past I’ve just specified “creative commons” in with whatever I was searching on Google to avoid any copyright issues. Looking at the actual website for Creative Commons, I have to say…
Creative Commons Search for term “Video Games”
As part of my Creative Commons website search, I began with a search for David Bowie to see what kind of pictures would come up, but was not heavily interested with the results. So I searched “horror”, “penny dreadfuls”, and finally “video games” which gave me a set of results I couldn’t turn away. That…
6. Creative Commons
I went into Creative Commons not knowing what was going on, I then saw the search bar and just assume it was another search engine like google. Just like my fellow classmates I searched up a couple of words on Creative Commons more specifically Nicki Minaj and Overwatch. When I search Nicki Minaj I got…
6: Dolphins, CreativeCommons, and More
As Jordyn said, I found that I had different experiences with the search features on the site. I tried the word dolphin both in the search feature on the syllabus and in the search feature under Use and Remix. In the first, the first few pages were color photographs. In the second, I got similar results…
