More lost notes-Downfall

Hitler is portrayed as a kind, humble person. He is idolized by his people as their supreme leader, When he is actually very sick and decrepit.

The scenes in the movies are dark and desolate, and very enclosed. This gives a sense of false hope, heavy doubt, and mass confusion.

Finish line

Well yesterday was the day, the last lecture of the course. We all finshed our presentations and turned in our projects. Every one had very impressive presentations and seemed to have put in alot of work on their respective projects. As for myself, I hit a little snag regarding my paper when it magically disapeared from my harddrive. However, I was able to replace it with a suitable draft in time. So, other than that little hiccup, I feel pretty good about my project and I am confident in my success in the course.

Presentations

So, in class today we saw everyones profects. They all looked very good. After presenting, every one was very constructive about the things in my website. After hearing their sugestions I rearanged things according to what they sugested and my site looks much better for it.

Averett

Well here it is, Averett University, five hours away from Clemson. Just across the North Carolina and Virginia border. I made this voyage Sunday morning with the Clemson club football team, we were scheduled to play at 2:00 against Averett's red shirt team. And, as you can see, it was a gorgeous day. There was blue sky and a nice cool breeze, perfect for playing some football. This shot was taken of the University's visiting locker rooms and basket ball courts. I tried to capture the first significant sight that I saw driving in. It was 12:10, so i guess I cheated. I just assumed that this would be a little more interesting than the cow pastures I was driving through at twelve. So, in conclusion, this is where I was at around 12:00 on Sunday. Also just in case you were wondering, we lost in the very end of the fourth quarter by four points, 26 to 30.

P.S.- Next game is at 2:00 Sunday vs. University of North Carolina on the varsity practice fields, which are located by the baseball field.

progress

Well, my mom changed the focus of her company from wine and cigars to high end pet products. So, I have to change my focus and come up with a new theme for the web page. It will still have the same color scheme with a calm and soothing feel to it, but I will have to adjust it a little to focus on that market base.

movies

These are just a few graphics of my favorite movies, and in every one you can get a sense of the movie's personalities. You can tell just by looking at these that they are funny ,or serious, bazaar, or exciting. You can even tell what time period these movies depict and what region of the world they are supposed to take place in. Just one look at these graphics can describe every emotion that the movie could invoke, like it is preparing you for the experience. In fact, I would go so far as to say, that I could predict what all will happen in some scenes of the movie just by looking at these photos. But I digress, the purpose of creating these images is to describe to a certain market what experiences that they could have the opportunity of having. And, true to form, they effectively accomplish this by showing simple and easily understood images.

Progress

My progress as of today is minuscule. so far, I have been keeping in close contact with my mom and I am trying to get her to paint me a picture for the home page. Also, I am still trying to learn how to use the Adobe programs so I can effectively reach my goals for this project. But, until I am comfortable with it, I will resort to drawing different sketches until I find a suitable design for my home page.

THE DEATH PENALTY

The death penalty has been argued over for ages, yet it has always been accepted as necessity not as just a need for vengeance but also to keep as a threat to those who are tempted by crimes that would require condemnation. But regardless of your opinion, the Idea of death row always strikes a nerve. The Idea of a person committing murder makes them seem inhuman, but after they have been charged and they are sitting on death row waiting for justice we see the human side of them, the emotion, pain, and anguish of the torturous pressure of knowing retribution is coming.
Dianna George addresses the way these situations are portrayed and used in popular culture. These situations are used as a tool to catch a reader's attention and to display a wide variety of ideas that generally circulate around execution. Many ideals are related to racism, politics, and justice, but regardless of the reason they are condemned, the sole purpose of all executions is fear. And I think this is the main emotion that all media plays off of. It makes you think, Is a persons life worth retaliation, or justice, or prevention? Sometimes, I think that for the purpose of justice or prevention that the death penalty is a necessary evil. It is an ugly solution to an even uglier problem.

Vintage Paths: Proposal

For my project in visual communication I have chosen to make a website for my mother's new business, Vintage Paths. This seemed like a suitable project for me because I wanted to be able to use the resources that Clemson has provided to help my mom create her own entrepreneurship and hopefully accomplish her dream. My vision of this web page includes a subtle coloring scheme, and a calm inviting feel. The web page is going to reflect the way that my mom would design her store. The greatest challenge, of course is that I have to interpret my mom's ideas and depend on her getting me all the information that I need on time. Also, I will have to work in correlation with her to try and find which market base she wants to target, and how she intends to do that. With all of these issues in mind, I will also have to plan out an effective, easily navigated, and aesthetically pleasing web page. So, If I succeed and achieve all of these goals I will certainly accomplish all of my mother's goals for this project. Which are, to portray my mother's dream in an accurate and professional manner; to display internationally, a friendly and helpful business front; and, to create a user friendly web page.

From what I gather, Vintage Paths is going to be a wine bar and art gallery equipped with a cigar bar for the indentured husbands. Ideally, this will be located in Charleston and run like any other business. Further more, It will be marketed solely through this web page and word of mouth. So it is vital that this page is a perfect display of the Vintage Paths image, and sets an example for the customer, of the professional conduct that will be taken by the employees at Vintage Paths.

Dr. George on Poverty

As I read Dr. George's work there are a multitude of questions that run through my mind. However, the one that is most interesting, is that when you are trying to communicate these unplesantries to the world who do you focus your material toward? Do you focus solely on one class or group of people that may have a greater means of helping? Or do you display these horrors to all markets, with out any focus on who may be most important to your cause? Essentially, I want to know is there a market base for charity?

Class in Second Life

Here I am in Virtual Clemson checking out the Amphitheater, and Tillman hall with the entire class.

what I look like in 3-D

So, this is what I look like in 3-D. I considered a more out of the ordinary avatar but it seemed that the best way to portray myself online was probably the same way I feel comfortable in reality. So, in keeping with that theme the name I chose for my avatar was Avery, and so far hes doing fine. He is currently looking for a good job, not unlike myself, and he is very interested in traveling to the many different locations that second life has to offer. The virtual reality in this game is very interesting, it is something I have never experienced before. I am really looking forward to seeing how much more I can find along my path inside second life as my avatar encounters the challenges of finding a job, and meeting new people.

Vintage Paths

After allot of deep thought and second guessing I have decided to focus my visual communications project on a website for my mother's fledgling company, Vintage Paths. This website will include a business plan, and hopefuly a hard copy of how to recieve grants from state and national governments. After I recieve the necesary information that my mother wants on her webpage I will set up a couple of hard copys of possible webpage designs. In conclusion I hope this website can be used to broaen My mother's market base and help give her a susessful business venture.

Bryant

A myspace page that would be suitable for my friend Bryant would take an interesting mesh of new England culture and a Clemson University culture shock. As a foundation, his back ground would probably be filled with pictures relating to the New England Patriots, the Clemson Tigers, and other sports related photography. This is of course due to the fact that he is one of the biggest sports buffs I have ever met. building off of this fact, many of the site's characteristics would center around sports and his major, sports management. These photos would preferably be of impressive or infamous plays to help capture the viewer's interest. Also, it may help people that Bryant could relate to recognise they have something in common. Getting past his wallpaper, his site would also contain many humorous videos of the ironic, and more so, the pitiful nature, as Bryant can sometimes have a slightly sadistic sense of humor. However, to counter this impression, I would be certain to include a variety of details in writing and personal photos to display his sincere and generous personality. The site would have a somewhat, colorful nature most likely adopting a sports team's color scheme. His text would reflect his opinions through sports, religion, and politics, containing several anecdotes of his experiences in the south. The end result being a site that clearly displays his interests, personality, and sense of humor, while holding the viewer's interest and displaying accurately who Bryant is.

Q: what is visual communication?

A: visual communication is the art of visually persuading an audience to look at an idea with a certain attitude or point of view by using subtle visual effects durring the presentation of that idea. prefferably, visual communication should take place without the audience even realizing the way they are influenced. This ensures that the idea that is communicated is seen in the exact way that is intended and is untarnished by the point of view an audience may normally take.
