Shakespearean LOL Cat

 

 

 

 

I chose to complete the Shakespearean LOL Cat assignment!

 

This is my cat Scratch, sitting in his favorite guard spot by the bird feeder, taunting the birds!

The quote is from Shakespeare, Taming of the Shrew, Scene I. 

 

 

I’d rather hear a dog bark too…

 

This is not the ds106 assignment that I really wanted to do; however, the first one that I did, I did the wrong way.  Because I was running out of time, I went w/ the Shakespeare LOLcat.  People seem to like cats…I am not a big fan though.  But I do like dogs, and I remembered this line from Beatrice in the play Much Ado About Nothing, which mentions dogs, so I went with it.  If I could go back and do this assignment again, I’d do the Album cover.  That was pretty cool…I started it, but we started to move on, so here is my LOLcat.

Shakespearean LOLcat

I love memes, and I love Shakespeare. So of course, I had to do this DS106 assignment. I used imgur’s meme generator, since it’s so simple. I also made a tutorial to help out anyone who hasn’t made a meme before.

Shakespearean LOLcat

I decided to choose this picture of a cat with a pizza on its head because it is adorable in a twisted kind of way.  I tried to imagine what the cat would say to itself after seeing this picture.  I chose Shakespearean Sonnet 38.  I am a pet lover and I know how hard it is to resist doing ridiculous things that somehow seem cute when done but in reality, its just us being silly.

Blog Post #3

For my third blog post I chose the Shakespearean LOLcat. This assignment asks you to get a picture of a cat and a quote by Shakespeare and put the two together for comedic effect. Here is what I came up with.

I used this picture because it shows one cat already stuck, with another trying his best to get stuck in the box, while the third cat looks on curiously. The quote was taken from Shakespeare’s play As You Like It which I feel illustrates what is happening in the picture quite well as we have two cats who fancy themselves to be genius adventurers while the third looks on, trying to comprehend what his idiot siblings are trying to accomplish.

The instructions for this assignment were to take an image of a cat and superimpose a Shakespearean quote over it. I initially wanted to use something from Taming of the Shrew since that play has so many good stand alone quotes, but in the end I decided to stretch the “rules” of the assignment a little by using more than one photo, since when I read this quote I really felt like it fit cats perfectly. I guess I ended up “remixing” the assignment instead of just completing it.

Illustrated Lyrics Post

I loved seeing different photos and getting to choose what lyrics I wanted to put on it because so many people use lyrics already written to compare and express themselves through. I loved doing this assignment because yes I am one of those people who listens to music and each song or artist evokes different emotions.  The artists are called the Pirate Sessions and they makes me smile no matter what.  I chose a photo from my Pinterest and thought of the quote afterwards.  This was the original assignment My Favorite Lyric.

I saw that Britta did this assignment, and I HAD TO DO IT. I love Shakespeare, and I love cats. Purrrrfect. 😉 With this assignment, you are to pick a Shakespeare quote and pair it with a photo of a cat that corresponds with the quote. I chose the quote, “And though she be but little, she is fierce” from “A Midsummer Night’s Dream.” I went on Google and literally typed in ‘little, fierce cat’, and voila! I used an app on my iPhone called Studio next. I just uploaded the cat picture, and picked the font I wanted to use, and added the text on top of the picture. I emailed it to myself, and saved the picture onto my computer to upload it on here. I think this cat embodies this Shakespeare quote so well! I loved doing this assignment!

 

 

Shakespearean Cats

I chose the Shakespearean LOLcat assignment where you combine a cat picture with an appropriate Shakespeare quote.  Because I don’t particularly like cats, I chose a Shakespeare quote with a negative connotation and found a picture by searching for “mean cats” on Google images.  I then added text to the picture in a Word document and screenshot the finished product in order to save it as an image.
