And pick up random words from them, and create Album jacket.
The Links are below, so Lets create my 1st Album!!
This assignment is really fun and easy to make!!
①go to Wikipedia: Random Article
the random article will be your bands name.
okay, my bands name decided to call "Clouston Park".
②go to Random Quotes
go to the bottom of the page, and lock at last quote. the last four to five words are your album title.
I got "Natural ability without aducation has more often attained to glory and virtue than education without natural ability.", so my album name is Education Without Natural Ability.

Nice one. I didn't even know about this assignment. Looking at it on the ds106 site, it looks like it was tremendously popular last spring.
返信削除Maybe now that you've revived it this semester, other will realize what a cool and fairly simple assignment it is too complete.
I particularly like the album title. It's kind of interesting to see what random can bring you. And who knows? Some of these random words, phrases and images could actually inspire something new.

返信削除Thanks for your comment!!
Im really sorry that my explanation is not enough...I put some information about this assignment and my stuff.
I think now you can understand what kinds of assignment did I do.
putting all random works together is sometimes so hard, but is this case, it is more fun!!
This is a really interesting mash-up of ideas/words/stuff! What's most interesting I think is how some parts actually seem to fit and could be part of a real album.
返信削除Makes you wonder how much effort goes into "real" albums and if the (assumedly) laborious process is actually worth it
Good observation about the surprising connections among random elements.
返信削除I often wonder about this myself.
Speaking of which, this reminds me of this little Wikipedia trick: http://www.the30seconds.com/blog/2011/09/26/wikipedia-everything-leads-to-philosophy/
返信削除Try it out, it actually works! I think it's really interesting how things eventually relate back to one another, even on Wikipedia, and that the site was one of the main draws for this assignment as well.
