Graphic Design

Graphic design is... using words and images to get a message through to people. Many people don't realize it but we see/use graphic design in just about everything we do in our everyday lives. We use graphic design to create things that people will remember and that creates mood or feeling. I feel like graphic design is an amazing thing to have in our lives. I feel like using graphic design is a way to speak to people and communicate with them and if done right, they will fell like the product they are buying has been made from a person and that will create a warm feeling rather than being made from a plain, cold machine. Without graphic design we would live in a plain, boring world.

Article Review

       The main objective in the article "They loved your GPA, then saw your Tweets" by Natasha singer, is that what you say and do on the internet and on your social media's can follow you and schools look at that stuff. Some schools don't let what you say on the internet affect the administration process, but some schools view those things you say as what kind of student you will be and it can affect the process.
       A quote from the story that does surprise me is in the second paragraph where it says "Perhaps she hadn't realized that colleges keep tract of their social media" because before i read tis article i had no idea that colleges and schools actually viewed students social media.
      A quote that confused me was in paragraph 7 when it said "students' social media and digital footprint can sometimes play a role in the administration process", it confused me because i don't understand how what students say on the internet, that is unrelate to school, have any affect on how their academics are and how the preform in school.
      After reading and reviewing this article, i will make sure everything i say on the internet is appropriate and something i wouldn't mind future colleges or even my school right now looking at.

chase HBurnfin



In this project we were supposed to create a chase scene. My partner and i had to brainstorm an idea, create the storyboard, and  recruit actors to be in our short ilm. Then we had to edit the video using final cut pro and try to find the perfect fitting music for the video.  I think the goal of this project is to teach us different methods of filming and working with the actors. I have learned better teamwork skills because you and your partner both have to try to direct the film together and cooroperate on ideas, i always learned to how get music from youtube and put it in your video, and how to better edit on final cut pro. If i were to go back and redo the film i might have tried to come up with a more creative idea, rather than just trying to get to class on time, but i would probably still use a similar editing and filming footage. through this project i have widened my filming and editing skills
