May 11th-17th daily create
#tdc5034 #ds106 #WriteOut Oh, The Os:
This daily create challenged us to take a word with the letter “O” in it and creatively replace the “O”s with different circular designs or objects. I chose the word “book” and turned the first “O” into a baseball and the second one into a sun, using a random generator.
I think this connects to the multimedia principle because it uses both texts and visuals at the same time, rather than just using plain text. The different “Os” in the word make the image more engaging, and it stands out a lot more compared to if the word was just regularly written.
#tdc4496 #ds106 Words Written In Rust: This daily create prompted me to use a generator to create an image of a word written in rust. I chose the word “summer” because it represents warmth and some of my favourite memories growing up. The rusted metal effect with the stone background made the word stand out and appear more memorable
This connects to dual processing theory because the activity used both verbal and visual processing at the same time. The word “summer” communicates meaning through language, while the rust texture, colours, and background create visual associations and emotions connected to the season.
tdc5185 #ds106 #dailycreate Describe in writing for someone who cannot hear, the feeling of silence: this was a hard one for me understand at first, it really challenged me to think deeply about what silence means to me and how it makes me feel, this is what I came up with:
“Silence feels like the world pausing for a moment. It can feel comforting or lonely. It is calm, still, and leaves you alone with nothing but your feelings.” I came up with this because to me when I am alone I am left with nothing but my own thoughts. Everything else goes silent but somehow that is when my thoughts appear to be louder than ever.
I think this connects to the Coherence Principle because my description is simple and focused only on the feeling and emotion of silence. I did not include unnecessary details, which helps the reader focus on the meaning behind the writing.
