Module 3 Reflection

For this last project module for DGST101, my group (and apparently many other groups!) chose to experiment with animated GIFs. To differentiate ourselves from what other groups would possibly talk about, we decided to look at how GIFs help to display reactions, education, and art, tips for making GIFs, and …

Good Luck on Finals!

Week 15 Summary

WOW! I can’t believe how quickly this semester in DS106 went by. I remember when we were making simple GIFs in our first assignment. I also can’t believe that it’s already finals week. Luckily, I only have to get through a couple of tests on Tuesday and …

A Businessman Indeed

Final Project

Since George Glekas is a businessman, I was thinking, what would best describe his personality? Since technology is a large part of business, I decided that it would be interesting to show everyone what George Glekas’ smartphone screen would look like. There was no assignment for this already, …

Glekas is All Business

Final Project

Going through the never-ending bank of DS106 assignments, I came across the assignment Post-It Notes and Grocery Lists (3.5 stars).

To create the layout, I used GIMP to add a header, …

You’ll Never See Snoop The Same

For my second DS106 Mash-Up/Remix assignment, the generator remixed “What’s the Meme?” with DS106-ercizing, to create this assignment (3 stars). I had to create a meme that also advertised DS106. My issue with this assignment is that I also wanted to include “The Wire”, so instead, I decided to create …

Meet Gavin Memita!

For my first Mash-Up/Remix assigment (ever!) I used the DS106 Remix Machine to generate a random remixed assignment. On my first go, I got an assignment (5 stars) that I was really interested in doing! The remixer wanted me to create an animated magazine cover, but introduce a character that …

George Glekas’s Professional Background

For my final project for DS106, I chose to use the character George “Double G” Glekas from The Wire Season 2. George Glekas is a member of The Greeks and the owner of Pyramid Inc., the front for The Greek’s smuggling operations. I thought it would be interesting (and highly …
