NEW MEDIA & LITERATURE: Real Fear
I probably shouldn’t admit this here, but I’m trying to keep an accurate journal of my journey into video games for new media. I am afraid. It is past two a.m., a perfect time for me to play or read. … Continue reading Continue reading

NEW MEDIA & LITERATURE: Visuals & Texts
What a wondrous combination! Suttree and Silent Hill 2, feeding each other’s reader’s fears. Each exquisite in their imagery; one by showing with sound and one by showing with language, each building up a story that has me nervous, edgy, … Continue reading Continue reading

NEW MEDIA: Storyboard
Just was led to a site by my niece, Erica, who happens to be a web designer, that would have been a big help in one of our projects in the New Media course; that of Storyboard. Although it’s one … Continue reading Continue reading

NEW MEDIA: Remediation
Ooh–ooh-ooh! Just got the brilliant idea of playing with the story below and carrying it further into audio/visual media format. While it ain’t great, the narrative line is down already, so I can start from there. The visuals would be … Continue reading Continue reading

WRITING: Wind
The wind is in a jealous roar tonight, scraping at the earth with quick blue fingers to find a grip, a place to settle in. Raising swipes of cold crisp snowflakes from their layered sleep, his fury leaves a swirling … Continue reading Continue reading
NEW MEDIA & REALITY: People Layers
Random thoughts this morning as I dress to start the day, looking at myself in new media methods of layering and what each layer means. When I was young, I wore a lot of hand-me-downs; from two older sisters, often … Continue reading Continue reading

NEW MEDIA & REALITY: Applying the Layers
Rarely will I make New Year’s resolutions; rarer still that the few made are kept. Stubborn and resistive by nature, it always seemed more vital that I rebel against my own law and maintain that most annoying part of me. … Continue reading Continue reading
NEW MEDIA: Navigation
One of those little tidbits that bloom into necessary knowledge handed out at the New Media course was the navigability of a project. Amazon.com was seen as a well planned out map that is user friendly (as well as sales-friendly … Continue reading Continue reading

NEW MEDIA: Silent Hill 2
Somehow I just don’t feel right adding a "Games" category here at Spinning, so I’ll record my journey to Silent Hill under New Media. After all, it is considered such and especially so to me–a gameplayer not much beyond Freecell … Continue reading Continue reading

NEW MEDIA & REALITY: Mind over Matter
Well I’ve calmed down so that I can now speak without sputtering. A few hours of sleep does wonder for the soul. But it also (as has been the driving force in my thinking of late) has brought me back … Continue reading Continue reading
NEW MEDIA: Teamwork
Whilst I was bitterly mumbling about working better by myself, I learned the benefits as well as the necessity of this procedure when working with New Media. Especially in a more professional vein, as opposed to a classroom learning project, … Continue reading Continue reading

NEW MEDIA: And Picture Framing
Okay, so I’ve just had to add a couple more days to my time estimates for completing work for my customers. Silent Hill II has just been loaded into the laptop (which of course, goes to work with me now) … Continue reading Continue reading

NEW MEDIA: Consider Your Audience
Very interesting point brought up by example today in New Media: Consider your audience, test your work in progress, work with others; all brought to light by a showing of our group project in slide show format. There were four … Continue reading Continue reading
