It wasn’t until I read Vivian’s post that I realized how complicated making my portfolio would be. Kathleen Nancy goes into the complexity of electronic portfolios and how they can differ from traditional printed portfolios, which are more straight forward. After reading this I thought it was obvious what I was going to include in…
As part of Kathleen Blake Yancey’s definition of a portfolio in “Portfolio, Electronic, and the Links Between,” she states that a portfolio should showcase a “collection of work” (130). My portfolio would collect the three major projects that I have completed for this class, the reflections for each, and some of the blog posts that…
At the time of writing this my project is already done below is the video. What texts did you remix? I remixed songs which included: I’m Yours by Jason Mraz, Hey Soul Sister by Train, Paparazzi by Lady Gaga, Complicated by Avril Lavigne, Where is the Love by the Black Eyed Peas, and Nothing on…
Below is the link to my digital remix: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1u2Ato_fEf-PH9OxnzCbkYCtYmFyBAjNxMNco4LKqkyc/edit I wanted to engage with the age-old concept of poetry and song lyrics being intersecting genres, if not sometimes the same thing. I worked together with Alex, and together we chose several pop songs to remix. While Alex’s focused on the chord progression and musical…
For my remix assignment I did something unlike anything else that has ever been done before, except for the two people I worked with who also did projects related to News Headlines. Shout out to Emily Dilworth who basically did the same thing I did, but better and on a national scale, and Kay, who I…
For my remix, I found a text on The Public Domain Review titled “The Life of James F. O’Connell the Tattooed Man”. The text was an autobiographical account of O’Connell’s travels before he joined P.T. Barnum’s freak show in the 1800s; I decided to make an erasure poem that made it a bit more eerie. The…
For my remix project, I created a compilation video to educate people on African-American hair. I initial only wanted to use clips from television shows and movies with predominantly black casts or at least the main focus being the black experience. However, my resources to gather the clips I needed were not plentiful, so I…
https://www.instagram.com/dunce_cat/ For my remix, I took photos of cats from 1911 and turned them into memes. I actually found this a bit challenging because I’m not so much of a meme maker and a lot of these cats were creepy. I got the idea from the Public Domain Review because they related these pictures to…
For my remix project, I created an interactive map of the United States with headlines about Donald Trump during his 2016 Presidential Election campaign (specifically, from September 2016.) My goal was to show the polarized views of op eds published by newspapers across the country. The background image shows the political leanings of each state…
Here is the link to my remix: http://cyoalittlemermaid.carrd.co My remix is a choose-your-own adventure version of “The Little Mermaid” by Hans Christian Andersen. The final result ended up somewhere between a typical choose-your-own adventure book and a rudimentary visual novel (due to my lack of skill), and includes a variety of different story routes that…
