Inspired by the work of the Breakfast Club edition of ds106 on their design assignments today (more on that anon), I took a shot at the Postcards from Magical Places assignment—3 stars! I spent the afternoon showing them how to do one of these in Photoshop, and while I was showing them a few things I got the idea of a postcard from the Overlook Hotel, and while I didn’t have the time to do it during class, I promised myself I would write a postcard from Danny Torrance to Mr. Halloran. This was very fun!
Love it. “Dear Mr Halloran, I have become interested in the English racehorse RedRum and keep writing his name. I like the way it looks. Why do you think that is?”
Martin,
I think what I love about this most is it actually gives a visual object of desire for all the things I dream about the culture I love.The web allows us to asynchronously watch movies together 🙂
