Inside the wWar Against China's Blogs

After reading "Inside the Was Against China's Blog" by Dexter Roberts, I felt that it is both okay and not okay Chinese companies to act the way they have been. I thinks that it is okay, because they have a right to their own opinions. Although I also don't think that it is okay for the  Chinese companies to do what they do, because they are being hired to only state positive and good things about other companies, even though they do not feel that way about the product. Which is the same as giving false information. As a result, the honesty and integrity of both the blogging world and the internet; like I said before, the people being hired to write good things about large companies are/ could be giving out false information about that company and the product they are producing. Also, after reading this article, I think that another good thing about this is that, is provides more jobs to all of the people in China. For example, after many consumers write flaming comments about a product and its company, "plenty of companies are willing to pay for the positive spin" (between $500 and $25,000 a month). And, companies that hire blog writers and monitors are more likely to sty in business, because even though some consumers might write bad or negative things about companies and their product, there is always something good written back in response. Over all, I really enjoyed reading this article; it was very helpful because I learned a lot about what goes on in the blogging world in other countries, and how they deal with it.

Typography

• Typography is the design and use of typefaces as a mean of communication. 
• I do think that large companies pay artists for typographic work. 
• Typography might effect you or other potential consumers by, if the words stand out, there is a greater chance that people would buy the product. 
• Even though graffiti is illegal, it is a form of typography.
• I think that typography is a smart and interesting way to design letters and words.

Spelling with Flickr!

One of our assignments today was, to spell something using pictures from Flickr, so I did the name of my blog.

   

Cartoon Me!

Today I finished turning a distorted picture of me (that I took on photo booth) into a drawing.
And here is Cartoon Me!...

I really enjoyed doing this assignment, because it really helped me learn how to do so many new things with paint on photo shop that I  never would have learned out side of this!

2nd Six Weeks Reflection

I think that over all, this second six weeks went really well. I have been actually very productive in class, and have been doing and turning in all of my work on-time. If someone were to accurately describe my work habits, they would say that, I work hard and diligently on every assignment that I do. These work habits have really aided me; I've been able to use them in all of my other classes and raise most of my grades too.

Nov. 4, 2010

Today we did another photoshop experiment and we "drew" our version of a picture that we liked. 
Here is what I started with:

And this is what I got out of it:

November 2

Today we played with photoshop a little bit and did some tutorials about it. I edited a couple pictures and I think that I really learned a lot about photoshop that I didn't know already. (well actually, I didn't really know anything about photoshop!)
