Do you have anything that you want to smuggle across the ocean? Do you want to do it cheaply and efficiently? Well then call Frank! Frank is great at bringing things over secretly so no one knows where you got it! I saw this assignment that Paul created about Bad Guy business cards. I thought this would be great to make for someone within The Wire. I was deciding between the Greeks, Nick Sobotka, or Frank Sobotka. I decided to go with Frank because he was the head guy at the port but he can also keep things under wraps....Read More

This assignment was fun! We had to pick three different things I would take on a deserted island. I used photoshop to add all of the images together to make one image. I decided to take a practical approach on this one. I would take a Kindle because I would have access to multiple books that I have loaded on this device. And the battery lasts for a long time. The next thing I would take with me is a knife. This would help me in tons of different ways because I could cut things, to make a shelter, cut food,...Read More

Hi there! This assignment was a lot of fun! At the beginning of each episode in the wire, there is a quote that one of the character's says during the episode. I took a quote from season 2 episode 9, from Rawls to create the new epigraph. The assignment was supposed to relate it to ds106 in some sort of way, and I thought this quote would be great for this assignment. Here is the original epigraph from the episode: So this is the second one! I decided to use Rawl's quote because I think this fits perfectly for our...Read More

This assignment was interesting! I decided to use Photoshop for this one. I found this one kind of difficult as I was trying to figure out what I was doing while in Photoshop itself. But I definitely got the hang of it though! I really like the thought of this assignment, trying to capture the essence of the show with just a few things on the poster itself. So I started out with a new project in photoshop, where I made the poster an 8x11. Then I made the background this blueish purple color. I was trying out different colors...Read More

Hi there! Since this week is Design, I thought I would go ahead and make my own assignment. I was looking through other assignments and saw one called Where are They Now? This assignment takes the cast of the Wire and looks to see what other works they did before/after their time on the Wire. The other assignment I mixed it with was through and infographic. Infographics are great for keeping all the information in one place! So with that said, I really enjoyed making this assignment. It was really cool to see where the actors/actresses ended up throughout their...Read More

For one of my assignments, I decided to make an infograph narrating one of the episodes. I've seen a lot of inforgrahs before and they just look so cool! I've always wanted to make one. So I said why not! I put Season 2 Episode 1 "Ebb Tide" into an info graphic. It brings a new spin on the story line. (The quality of the image isn't the greatest and it left some images out. You can find the actual inforgraph here.) I decided to do the first episode of the season rather than other episodes because this episode is...Read More
