Potential Domain Names

cotto productions:

I’m obsessed with film and television so I would create little commentary/reaction videos of different projects and upload them onto my website. As well as all of the short films I have created in the past and will continue to create I will upload them to my website for everyone to see.

cotto creations:

I create handmade and digital art and sell them so I will use this website to host all of my work. I will even create a shopping page so people can order directly from my site.

my inner child:

I will host the art that I created based on childhood movies and tv shows for events where I have been in charge of recreating their childhood magic.

remembrance:

I will use this site to help individuals all around the world. I create digital portraits of families who have lost a loved one in their life and add them to the picture and sell those. It has made many people I know happy that there able to have another picture with the person they loved so deeply and still do.

My Choice

The domain name I decided to choose is cotto creations because it is a way for me to incorporate everything that I’ve described in all of the other options but under one lens and keep it cohesive.

How am I doing in CT101?

I feel like I am doing okay in this class right now. I am having some trouble with getting all of my assignments done in a timely manner. I’m taking 7 classes currently which is the most I’ve ever done. It is proven to be harder than I thought but I’m trying to work through them. This isn’t an excuse for being behind in blog posts, it’s just a lot of work to keep organized and make sure everything is done by the due dates.

Assignment 1

Assignment 2

Assignment 3

Assignment 4

Assignment 5

What have I learned and retained the most?

I believe that, as a result of this self-reflection, my performance is now higher than it was prior to enrolling in the course. I do believe that when I write for other classes, I am more honest with myself rather than just providing terse responses for the sake of responding. I now communicate more and act more intimately. Despite the fact that I post frequently, I rarely leave comments on the posts of my classmates. Overall, I think I would get a B+ in this class because I’m enjoying it so much and because it’s fun to read everyone’s work. I believe that I perform well in this class because I always offer my best effort, but I could do better at evaluating my classmates’ work.

HELLLOOO fellow peers

Do you want to get artsy with me?

Well, I just posted my first blog post on my website

www.artsywithmungie.com

(I also slightly changed my logo but you may see no difference)

I know at first glance you may be confused as to where it is

It took me a long time to organize my page, but since I finally got it

I thought I would just explain it here 

So the first thing you see is my home page

I dedicated this page almost like my portfolio to what I’ve done now and in the past

(make sure to scroll ALLLL the way down to see the full images)

On the top right, you can see the main menus and so far I have three categories

It’s hard to differentiate which is my actual first blog because I organized each blog into the topics it’s associated with

so I just dated each one with a preview picture of the work I did on that day

Looking through the first category, oil painting

(you can also go straight to this page by hovering over this photo)

On the top page, I have some of the recent paintings I’ve done and under I have my first blog page under that category

The next category, I have is photography

(you can also go straight to this page by hovering over this photo)

Similarly to the oil painting, I have some of my photographs that I did recently, and right under I have a link to my first blog post under photography

Lastly, I have an about page where I display the reasoning why I made this website, for this CT101 class and just basic information about me. 

(if you’re looking at it and it’s empty, that’s because I’m still working on it but if come back on the 20th of December it’ll definitely be completed by then)

I decided to stick with the Visual Assignments on the website. I just felt that they resonated with me more. The two assignments I chose from the ds106 webpage were My Favorite Lyric and We’re The Real Life Brady Bunch!

Option 1

I chose this assignment because I am a big music person. I’m a person that believes music can have a big effect on an individual’s mental health. For example, if you are sad I would say listen to Firework by Katy Perry.

The song I chose is what I listen to when I’m having a bad day and I literally can’t get out of my bed to do anything. I’ve been told it’s called seasonal depression.  I’ve listened to this song since I was in middle school it is called Wake Me Up by Avicii, and the specific lyrics from the song that always sort of have a lasting effect on me are “All this time I was finding myself, and I didn’t know I was lost”. 

I used Canva to make my image. I went searching interest to find the best image that depicted these lyrics and I finally found one. I downloaded the image on my laptop and then uploaded it into Canva. I then went on to dafont.com looking for a 70s retro font once I types out the lyrics I used the curving tool in Canva to wrap the words around the maze.

Step 1

Step 2

Step 3

Step 4

Step 5

Step 6

This is the final result.

After searching the web and looking at all sorts of different memes, the question of are these an art form or not became more clear to me…..IT IS DEFINITELY AN ART FORM!

Art comes in many different forms, I believe memes are an art form because it is convey a message that the person who created it want readers to understand.

Memes can also tell a story…. Grab your popcorn and get ready to unwind while I tell you a story about my CT101 experience through memes!

Lets just say my face is still like that but some how some way I feel like maybe…..just maybe….. The tech savvy version of myself will somehow come out and help me do great in this course.

Once Upon a Time                                             Supernatural

Many things inspire me, I usually take my inspiration from what I’m watching currently. It may be an old movie, a modern movie, or even a comedy skit. etc. I honestly never know until it happens. 

When I was reading this blog post and reflecting on what I was doing for the week I immediately thought of two shows that I am currently watching which are Supernatural and Once Upon a Time. Yes, I know that both of these shows are over and have been for a while. I choose a certain amount of shows and movies to rewatch within a certain amount of time every few months and those are the ones I’m hooked on at the moment.

I wanted my mmm. page to symbolize the feeling I get every time I rewatch these shows but in order to do that I had to pick one first. I decided to go with Once Upon a Time just because I felt I can make it look more whimsical and less dark which is what I was trying to come off more as. I came up with the idea of maybe creating a portal in the middle of the forest but I wasn’t sure if it was going to work. 

Step 1: Was finding the portal so I started by googling images of portals to see which one I was drawn to and this is the one I chose. 

Step 2: Finding the forest this is the one I chose.

You made it to my finalized website !

Let me tell you it was NOT easy!

If you check out my blog post from the CT 101 website, you will notice a lot of things have changed. And I mean A LOT!

For refreshers this is the original route i went with the website

Different right !!

Since the beginning, i wasn’t too pleased with how the website turned out. But I literally worked on it for so long that day I decided to just leave it as that, but it’s a new day; different mindset !

While looking for new templates that seemed like forever to find, I really loved this template. It’s called Seahorse (name is very deceiving) . I loved the colors, fonts, the layout and how the photos were laid out.

That being said, it was completely different than the last one I had chosen and even editing wise was completely different. The dashboard options were different when editing which made things very confusing.

I felt like customizing the old page was eaiser yet harder at the same time. Everything was just organized but it was still challenging !

But with patience, dedication and perseverance i was able to make it through!!

Lets start with the tour of my new website !

Home page ;

Here we have my homepage ; the first page the user will be loaded into.

A few years ago I learned that colors that attract people the most are red and yellow and iIm just noticing that thats what my page consist of haha. I made a little phrase that rhymes which i thought was cool!

ANYWAY Right below that i have two buttons that will bring you to the shop page ( which i will disscuss more later). Not only can the user access the shop page from here, but can also access it from the top menu.

As you scroll down i replaced the template default photo to a logo rug we made for a close friend’s business and thought it will be cool to mention we go as far as doing logos for companies.

Now scrolling even more down

The user can read more into who we are and our main mission with this company. I will definitely change this in the future when I get closer to finalizing the website for retail!

Underneath that there’s a photo I generated on dall-e  and the contacts of my friend and I with socials!.

Shop

When you press the shop button it will lead the user to the prices of the rugs. I was able to get this block by scrolling at the different price templates they have. I thought this was the most fitting.

First Blog Post

This is just where we had our first assignement for our blog post. The photos listed are first original rugs we created.

I learned many things from digital classes in ct 101. I learned how to use creative outlets even when I have no knowledge about it. CT101 helped explore different creative routes such as photoshop, editing, animation, blogging, creating a website and more. I learned how to express myself with memes and getting more familiar with the universal language !

I definitely will keep this website, I might pay to change the name because I had to choose a random one because I still don’t have a name for my actual tufting business, but once I find a name that I like I will be changing it. I do like the new layout I choose too. I hope to use this website as a place where customers can look at. As for grades, I believe I deserve an A. With each blog post and assignment I made sure to put 10010% into it. I had fun but also made sure I was doing what was required.

So this was a first for me, building a website is something I’ve thought of doing but never actually sat down and done before. It always sounds so intimidating and I think that might have been one of the things adding to my nervousness about this assignment. Yet, here we are I’ve finally taken my first baby steps (although a little late) toward building my site.

I started out by changing the theme as Ryan suggested. I thought about toying with the other two themes but then I realized that I’m a bit late to the process so I went with the suggested 2021 theme.

The next thing we had to do was change the background color. I thought about making it a pretty galaxy theme, but then looking at the comparisons between solid purple and the galaxy I figured that solid purple looked the best because it doesn’t impair the readability of the website. In the end, I decided to do both (in a way) I put the galaxy-themed background on the website but as a picture for the homepage.

What parts of the blog did you change around first?

I am happy with the progress so far because I thought it was going to be alot harder then it wound up being.

Im hoping to build something similar to my mmm.page. But, I want the homepage to have less randomness so that the user can see the cohesiveness of the website and follow along. So in the end it should be more similar to organized chaos. Now, I have to go work on the more in depth parts of the website like the pages, so see ya’ll… for now…

Im. Late.

But I’m here now! Ready to share my ideas with the World!!!

So ima take y’all on a Journey into my mind on a visit to my dream room!!!

Onee thing about me, Im a girly girl, sugar spice and everything nice

And Maybe a pinch of ChemicalX …teehee

Anywhooos

When I found this assignment I was excited because it was right up my alley…Ive been planning my whole life on Pinterest anywayyy so this is wonderful.

My dream is that I would have a house built from scratch that my children would grow up in.

First things first is My closet! I am a woman of many shoes so I have a Shoe Spinner in my walking closet.  There is also a couch in my closet for when I want my alone time.

Also their has the

I have this dream of my closet being my secret hide out. Where I pray, worship, cry and go whenever I wanna escape the real world.

I love a good accent wall! Im also in love with Navy Blue!  

Another thing I am excited for is a double vanity bathroom and glass shower

With the heated floors of course!!!

And you better believe I’m getting a house keeper to deep clean every month on top of the cleaning I will be doing! I NEED THE SPACE SPOTLESS!

Now ya’ll have got a taste of the glam life I wanna live!

This is just a bit…I’ll check back in about 15years!

Be Safe Be great ya’ll ✨

SIDE BAR!!!!

IVE BEEN DOING THIS SAME ASSIGNMENT FOR 3 WEEKS NOW! Life been rough, this a different level of procrastination

Going into customizing my website I knew that i wanted the color scheme to be black and white with dark green accents. I first went onto the dashboard –>

The header that word press has at the top of the page. I thought it would be simple but I could not figure it out so i watched a couple tutorials.

And decided to just let it be. I added a logo which was just a bed that went with the black and white theme.

Some potential domain name would have :

Savita3069.com – This domain is simply my first name with some numbers I see often. This example would have used incorporate the set number of images used on the website.

savs@1062.net –  This example would have been about things I enjoy as it incorporate my birthday. it would of incorporate activities from the 2000s or favorable moments that changed the world.

sk2018.com- often website names that are easier to remember are more memorable.

Pluviophile.net- this name symbolizes a person that loves rain. I like cloudy and rainy weather. My website would have been filled with pictures of rain and its beauty in NYC.

Kerfuffle.org- This is a silly word to be and it looks like illicit a silly reaction from people.

My website would have been a fusion of things I enjoy such as taking pics, food that I ate around NYC, memes and nostalgic tv shows I used to watch as a child.

https://brignews.com/2020/12/02/memes-art-or-nonsense/

Memes are fantastic for art because it allows for recognition, and deeper perspective to be viewed. Memes highlight art by using reality to form a connection to the art being used.

I tend to procrastinate simple task because I overthink them easily. This usually takes a toll on my overall health.

Like “Is this a Pigeon” meme I too am often confused, but liking memes serves as a expression of my internal feelings.

Children are optional, not a necessity from memes

Sometimes society sets unnecessary standards on us as women (and men too) depending on the situation. I think that everything doesn’t have to be done ABCDEFG in order. I think being different from each other is a joy, it’s a gift.
