ds106assignment.
For this assignment, I had a lot of fun creating this!! The description for this assignment said, “Remix a Guinness Book of World records web page. Pick any record you want and somehow remix it. Try and connect it to a story, and add some background inspiration into your idea for inspiration. Maybe it was the record you always wanted to set, or break. Or maybe it fits perfectly into a story you are creating. How ever it fits be creative and have fun with it.” At first, I wasn’t quite sure what I wanted to create as my World Record. However, after a text to my best friend which was worded: “Help.. if I had a world record what would it be?” And reply made me laugh out loud!! “Uh.. duh. Most Cannoli’s consumed ever!!” So I spent some time searching the Guinness Book of World Records and found the record holder for Most Big Mac’s eaten during a life time. So I took the X-Ray Goggles, and remixed that record for one of my own. I changed the title to read: “Most Cannoli’s eaten in a life time.” I then filled out the information: Name: Abigail Davis… etc. I also changed the bio portion of it to meet the actual description of my life! IT reads: “The most Cannoli’s consumed was achieved by Abigail Davis (USA), who ate her 28,788th Big Mac in Portland, Maine, USA, on 20 June 2019. Abigail typically eats fourteen Cannoli’s each week, purchasing them in bulk and storing them at home. In the last twenty-one years, there have been only eight days in which she did not eat a Cannoli – most recently, on 23 November 1998 (she was merely on baby food at the time…).”
I then took a screenshot and found a very unflattering picture of me eating a Cannoli (no shame…) I used an online photoshop to overlay the photo of myself over the photo of the gentleman that currently hold the record for eating the most Big Mac’s during a life time.
This has been my most favorite DS106 assignment so far!!!!
