After browsing through the website for the DS 106 Assignment Repository, an assignment that caught my eye is underneath the visual assignment category. It was labeled “name that flower” with a picture of a yellow with the center being red. This would be rather easy to do because google is FREE!. I would just type into the description of the flower on google and pick which one matches it the best.
The flower is a Golden Tickseed. For those of you just finding out about this flower, the Golden Tickseed is native in the southern parts of the United States. They are well known for their bright yellow petals “with maroon centers..
The second assignment I came across comes from the same website and it’s a design assignment. It is titled “Missing Person”.
The prompt is “Create a missing posters flyer for a fictional movie/show character, made-up person, animal, or a real person. Be sure to include a picture, the name, characteristics, and last seen date and place. Let your imagination do the talking for this poster”.
I’ve never done something like this before. Making sure everything lines up, picking out the different fonts. In addition, making sure everything is visually appealing might be a little tricky.
I do consider myself creative. Storytelling plays a huge part in making this as well, the idea of making a fictional character that draws the attention of my classmates will be fun.
I believe I should be doing the minimum of three and the maximum of five for the number of projects to do this semester. In terms of storytelling skills, it will; help me to create engaging content not only for myself but for the rest of the students
In the description, the person did not include what type of websites to make posters, so I did some research and the best I found were Picsart and Canva.
First I went on Canva and selected a blank page and here’s what I added from there.
From here I made up my own fictional character but I’m not sure what to put yet. I also made one for the backstory on how my character went missing.
I wasn’t sure whether to have AI generate the image for me or draw the image by hand.
Here is the AI generated image. I used the website Gencraft. It allowed to type in the description I made up and it generated an image. It has some pretty cool features including making the picture 3D, Cartoon, and even in watercolor.

Hi Joi. I like that you selected the “Missing Person” prompt, it’s a really creative idea. I would’ve really liked to see how you visualized the character that had gone missing, maybe you could try the AI option to see how it would have been interpreted!
I’m going to try the AI thing to help create my character.
Great work!
Ohh yes yes try the Ai prompts to help develop the character!
We are all curious now 🙂
