The first post that I connected with was one that stated 3 simple statements; “Music today. Music tomorrow. Music forever.” I found the design to be effective, as the text was written in a somewhat digitally faded font. The message caught my attention because music is without a doubt a huge part of my everyday life. I honestly don’t even know when could have possibly been the last day I went without listening to some sort of music, and I feel that might be true for many others as well. Music is a great medium to release certain emotions. It’s amazing how whether you may be feeling angry, sad, happy, etc. chances are you have certain songs that can help you out in those situations. Music has the ability to get you through almost every situation imaginable, and not to mention it keeps you company whenever you step out of your house and are going somewhere. The second post I found interesting was one that read “Always look at what you have left. Never look at what you have lost.” It is a quote by Robert Schuller. I thought the design of this post was very intriguing because it had a series of steps laid out in front of you as if that is what’s left for you to reach whatever you are striving for. In the case of the picture that would be the bottom of the steps. I felt the design did a great job of capturing the quote. The post makes me think about how I should always keep my priorities in check when trying to achieve something. I cannot get caught up in things that I have gone through, rather I need to focus on the small steps I need to accomplish in order to reach the end goal. The third post that I enjoyed was a vine that briefly covered nickelodeon shows from the 1990s. I loved this post because it brought me back to my childhood. The vine had animations of shows like CatDog, Doug, the Rugrats, Jimmy Neutron, and Ren and Stimpy among others. These were the shows that I grew up on and it was cool to see this “tribute” to those shows. Although the post did make me realize how old I’ve become, those shows meant everything to me and were a joy to watch as a kid. Lastly, the final post that caught my attention was one that states “You never know how strong you are until being strong is the only choice you have.” This quote is one of the most famous by Bob Marley, and that immediately drew me in because I am a fan of his. The design did a great job of communicating this message because behind the words is a picture of a black wolf, covered in snow with a somewhat determined/serious look in his eyes. Wolves are strong animals themselves, and they must be strong in order to survive on an everyday basis. The use of the wolf really did a good job painting a picture for this quote. The words themselves made me think about how everyone, whether they know it or not, is a strong individual. Sometimes, it just takes some digging deep down and certain circumstances for us to discover our true strength.

I think this type of format could fit well for my instructive part of the project where I lay out the step by step process of how to successfully go through the interview process. Each new phase the audience is entering would be highlighted, and the steps following that phase would be described under each phase. This makes the text easy to read and easy to follow for the audience.

This tri fold brochure on photography is what I had in mind for my project on the interview process. With the front being a cover page, the 3 sides of the brochure would divide the interview process into 3 phases; beginning, middle, and end, with bullet points and brief summaries as to what exactly is required in each step.

The first blog that caught my attention was the gif of someone’s finger flipping a table. One I read the caption I could not help to burst out in laughter. It was hilarious to see a “promo” for you to buy a table you can actually flip whenever you feel upset. It’s funny because I can relate to this post probably on a daily basis. I know whenever I’m furious, flipping a table would always be nice. Even when I’m speaking to someone through text or maybe over the phone, if I get upset I would definitely say “flips table”, or “I’m about to flip everything in this room” to express how upset I am. If this was to ever really go to market, I may consider buying my own table to flip in my low moments. The second post that enjoyed was one that was simply designed and stated “prove yourself to yourself not others.” I think the simplicity of the post actually made the text come off as even stronger. The post was a reminder that I feel we all could use sometimes, which is that we should do things and live our lives for ourselves, rather than for the approval or acceptance of others. This is something that really made me think about my younger days when as you grow up, cliques begin to form and you sort of find yourself trying to fit into a certain group instead of doing things for you. It also made me think about how sometimes you can get caught up in achieving/setting goals for others, whether it be a friend or even your parents, when although you want to make your friends and family proud you should always keep in mind that it is important to achieve things for yourself as well. This third post stated “Adulthood is like looking both ways before you cross the street, and then getting hit by an airplane” really resonated with me. It was funny to read because it felt like such an accurate description. Now that I’m done with school (After this class) and am awaiting to start my career, I can feel the responsibilities piling up like never before. It makes me think back to when I was a teenager and would always wish I was a grown up, only to find out now that I’ve gotten to my age that being an adult is not all it is hyped up to be. Being an adult sucks, and this post was a reminder of that for me. The last post that I liked was a cartoon drawing of Michael Jordan, Kobe Bryant, and LeBron James. Though I hate Kobe and LeBron (I am an Allen Iverson and Carmelo Anthony fan so hating them was my job), I can still appreciate the greatness in the photo. Michael Jordan, arguably the best basketball player to ever play, paved the way for guys like Kobe and LeBron to play the game the way they do, and they are both phenomenal talents. As a huge basketball fan, I enjoyed looking at the picture and thinking about all the great performances those 2 have put on. Though I never got to watch Jordan play, I still look up to everything he stood for. It was also nice to have him in the middle with his arms around bother of them, as so to remind the world that yes they were great, but they still come up a bit short in comparison to Jordan.

Design

The item I analyzed is a flier for the Broadway show ‘Phantom of the Opera’. I think the audience to the flier is generally anybody who is interested in Broadway shows, as you can see the famous mask of the phantom on the flier let’s people know that is the show they are advertising. The overall goal is to communicate with the audience when and where they will be able to catch the show. I was able to read the flier effectively, however I do think there could be improvements on the layout and the design of it. I like how the title is the centerpiece and written in a big font, but I think the dates and location should have been written directly under the title and the credits should have been written smaller, since the location and time are important. Also, I think it would have been better to include a better picture of the show rather than just a mask. Those unfamiliar with the Phantom of the Opera may not know it that well, and might need a bit more detail in the picture in order to grasp exactly what type of show is being advertised

The first post that caught my attention was with Leonardo DiCaprio in the ‘Wolf of Wall Street’ with the quote “The only thing standing between you and your goal is the bullshit story you keep telling yourself as to why you can’t achieve it’. The design immediately caught my attention because of the fact that DiCaprio was used in the background from that movie since I really enjoyed the movie. Also, who doesn’t love DiCaprio as an actor? The quote really made me think about how people tend to make up every excuse not to reach a goal. I know myself I have been guilty of doing so in the past, where I would make an excuse in order to get out of reaching an end goal, for example with school. I’ve put blame on professors before when I really could have put more of an effort on my end. Once I realized that the post came from “in-pursuit-of-fitness”, it also resonated with the times in the past I have passed on going to the gym because I was too lazy. It really makes you realize that when you are striving for something, your biggest obstacle truly is yourself. The second post that caught my eye was a gif. It honestly caught my attention because of how weird and abstract it was. I caught myself staring at it for at least 2 minutes trying to dissect the image. To me, the image seems to have two people/figures facing each other, with the red figure being one and the brown figure on the left. It almost seems as if both figures are trying to get a read on the other but they can’t seem to make each other out. The third post that I stumbled on was one of the open road with the quote “A few bad days doesn’t make it a bad life. So get up and keep moving forward.” I thought the design was an excellent choice and it really made the quote come to life. Only seeing the road ahead and nothing in the rearview mirror so to say, it really emphasizes how no matter what may happen to you, you must always keep moving forward. It connected with me and made me think about tough times that I have gone through, and how important it was for me to always make sure I did what I can to keep moving forward, no matter how tough of a situation it was. The last piece that drew me in was one that stated “who’s right, who’s wrong, who really cares.” I enjoyed this because it reminds me of my own nonchalant attitude. It really puts into perspective the things that are important. Many times people find themselves caught up in who may be wrong or right on a certain issue, who has the better point of view on something, etc. Sometimes these issues leads to feuds and people holding unnecessary grudges over others, when in reality who cares about what someone else thinks or says. Everyone should just live their life by their own rules.
