I’ll admit, when I first saw the name for this prompt, I was utterly confused as to what this assignment involved. Thankfully, the description quickly remedied that confusion. The prompt asks us to create a gif from our favorite or least favorite movie that embodies a key moment. I had a bit of trouble deciding what exactly my favorite movie was, but after I found it on Netflix recently and rewatched it, I decided this film fit the criteria exactly….
Catching me would be too easy. All you need is some type of sweet treat. @eng304cripps @ds106dc #tdc2703 Gif credit: https://t.co/BmdTraCkW2 pic.twitter.com/hNqrI8ZPwX — Katherine Smith (@Katheri85988147) June 6, 2019 In today’s daily create, they ask us to imagine what bait or lure we would be caught with if we were a fish. I’m a huge fan of sweet things, like cake, ice cream, candies, and breakfast sweets, so I imagine if I was a fish, I would be caught with…
Warning!! Roads may be slippery due to bacon grease. @eng304cripps @ds106dc #tdc2701 pic.twitter.com/OmAST4GMYK — Katherine Smith (@Katheri85988147) June 4, 2019 Today’s daily create had us modifying street signs ala Clet Abraham. This one kind of interested me because it reminded me of a few of the entries in a subreddit called r/MildlyVandalised, although Clet’s work is more professional. To start this create, I went to Google and looked at some street signs for a while trying to come up with…
I had some problems with this assignment in the conceptual stage. Most of the ideas I came up with were either too obscure, since they were based on personal inside jokes, or unfunny, since the text I came up with didn’t seem to work with the format of the meme. After looking at my photos for a bit, I came across this picture I made during a Drawing class I took for an art credit at my university. The drawing…
Totally what a perfect day for me would include. @eng304cripps @ds106dc #tdc2699 Pic sources @ my website: https://t.co/28Wqd43kvA pic.twitter.com/yPCUGuLeJq — Katherine Smith (@Katheri85988147) June 2, 2019 For today’s daily create, the prompt was “I Feel So Good”, accompanied by a song with the same title performed by Big Bill. While somewhat vague compared to the other daily creates I’ve seen, I decided to tackle this one to challenge myself. I saw that most of the other entries were either related…
In this picture is me and my cat Bootsie. We inherited her from a family friend and she bonded with me at first sight. If you’re wondering what she’s looking at, she saw a bird outside my window next to the bed (yay spring!). The assignment seemed pretty straightforward, so I just had to pick which pet to take a selfie with. In my house, I have 2 cats, Kiara and Bootsie and 1 dog, Phoenix, so I had a…
I had a lot of trouble figuring out what angle I should go for when doing this assignment. Do I use my own pictures or one I found on the internet? Do I base my meme off of one I know or make one up myself? After looking at all my photos from the past year, I came across one that I took of my roommate’s cat. She was sleeping on the couch while I was playing a game and…
Brr, it sure is cold here!! Visiting Neptune has truly been a once in a lifetime experience. @eng304cripps @ds106dc #tdc2694 pic.twitter.com/3oHq2aoWTi — Katherine Smith (@Katheri85988147) May 28, 2019 Visiting Another Planet I was a huge space geek when I was younger, so when I saw the daily create for today, my mind had a million ideas at once on what I should do. I ended up narrowing down my ideas to those related to gas planets, specifically Neptune, since that…
While I’ve heard about Keanu Reeves multiple times before, I’ve recently learned many things about him that I consider heroic. He’s given away money to many organizations to help children and those in need since the early 2000s and has been shown to be kind to anyone he comes across. Not really a "new" hero, but after recently learning about all the good that @mrkreeves has done, I think the title fits. Donating to children's hospitals, cancer research and being…
