"Sorry for what we are about to do to you" #dailycreate #ds106

This was my quick submission for today's Daily Create. I took this image of Hong Kong police just about to clash with protestors from The Big Picture, and framed it as a premeditated "I'm Sorry."

Noir Word Art: Can you see it? #dailycreate #noir106

Inspired by noir, I used image to showcase one of the most prominent cinematic and thematic elements of noir: shadows. This is my take on the word art assignment. http://tdc.ds106.us/tdc1113/

TDC 989: Toxic Fan @ds106dc #dailycreate #ds106

Love today's Daily Create. I will document my process on the blog, but in the meantime I remixed the fan icon designed by Arthur Shlain from the Noun Project here:

My take on "#tdc972: Bomb Book" @dailycreate #ds106

1 min read

This is my quick creation for today's Daily Create: "What book would protect you in a protest?" I took this assignment literally. I dare you to hit the bomb book :) 

I did this in GIMP, it was pretty easy. Opened up the book as one layer, the bomb as another, and invert the color on the bomb and voila! 

I used the Noun Project, which rules, and the two icons in this image to be credit are as follows:
Book designed by Charles Riccardi from the Noun Project

Bomb designed by Thomas Hirter from the Noun Project

Simple and very effective work for yesterday's DailyCreate. Are you using Kn own to upload to Flickr and post to Twitter? Would be interested in your thoughts and reactions.

Foosketball #dailyCreate #tdc971 #ds106

Foosketball:
A sport created by and for the Gods, combining football, basketball, and ultimate frisbee. Like in ultimate frisbee, a player cannot move with the ball. However, instead of a frisbee, foosketball is played with a football and instead of crossing an endline, a team must shoot the football into a basketball hoop in order to score a point.

It must be noted that in foosketball there are no guarantees. This refers to the difficulty of the game, most notably that even the easiest of shots can rim out due to the sport’s epic and intense nature.

Actually, Fooseketball is an interesting mashup because it was actually dreamed up by Wesley Clark, a student who took ds106 back in the Fall of 2010. He did a video on the game his friends created in Falls Church for ds106, and it got picked up by ESPN that semester. Crazy of the implications of creating and sharing. Here is the full video:

And here is Wes Clark's original post on the sport from his 2010 blog post: ds106.umwblogs.org/2010/12/03/foosketball-there-are-no-gu...
