Political Stances via Kumu


 

   For this week's web assignments, I decided to play around with Kumu, a online app used to create diagrams and designs. When using Kumu, I quickly learned that the tool was indeed powerful, although I learned that mostly through breaking things rather than creating them. I then decided to make a basic replication of a chart that I found online that mapped out different modern forms of government, and once I stuck to the idea I found that I was barely scratching the surface with what Kumu was truly capable of. That being said, I am proud of what I was able to accomplish with the software - even though it's just a polished copy.

Experimenting with Song Editing

    For this Audio Assignment, I decided to take one of the songs that had been stuck in my head as of late, and experiment with Audacity, editing the song to make it sound to my liking.     I first took the entire song and reversed the intro, chorus, and outro separately - reversing the entire song would cause the outro to play first and the intro last, which wasn't what I wanted. I then altered the equalization settings on the song to bring out the bass and vocals, and make the background instrumentals quieter, but sharper. I added a slight soft distortion effect to the entire song, as well as boosted the bass and treble a little bit more, and voila. If you're curious on the name of the original song, it's the title backwards.

Week 4 in Summary

    This week I experimented with taking photos and looking deeper into different visual works, from the daily creates to the readings. I found it entertaining to get to know my 'inner art student' this week, attempting to be creative with the different assignments.     My work for this week:     http://ds106lachdown.blogspot.com/2017/09/the-visuals-of-storytelling.html     http://ds106lachdown.blogspot.com/2017/09/its-bird-its-gargoyle.html     http://ds106lachdown.blogspot.com/2017/09/who-said-whaaaa.html     #tdc2081 Flawless, if I do say so myself pic.twitter.com/9sGENFh8FM — Lachdown (@Lachdown3) September 21, 2017 #tdc2082 This morning I bet my friend that he couldn't make SPAM taste good for me.
