My Favorite Passage

My favorite passage comes from the Bible.  The Bible is one of my favorite books it has several Passages that I love.  The Bible is my important to my faith and how I try to live my life.  In the Bible is .8:28.  It states that And we know that all things work together for good to them that love God, to them who are the called according to his purpose.  This is my go to passage for whatever I have going on in my life.  This passage picks me up when I a feeling down. This passage inspires me to better.  Whenever I read this passage I feel like I am back on top and no longer failing at the task at hand.  Initially when I started this class and was faced with the task of designing several projects at one time it became overwhelming and stressful and I thought that I could not do.  I grabbed my Bible and turned to this passage and it gave me the faith I need to succeed.

All About Maps



The maps I chose visually communicated with color and the Map of Mexico Surface Geology also have patterns that goes with the colors.  The color represent certain things and can be found in the legend.  In the legend is where you find the meaning the colors in the map. These maps uses color and are easy to read.  In addition to the color in the first map it also uses symbols/icons to also identify what is being displayed in the map.  The symbols also makes the map easy to read.

My Reflection


As I review projects one through three, I think my strengths were in choosing a color palette and targeting a particular audience.  I think I was successful in choosing a color palette because I chose colors from my images.  I colored my text as well as other elements on the page with colors taken from my images to make the piece more cohesive. 

In projects one through three, I also failed trying to execute some things.  I failed at writing a piece that focused on a particular subject because of the use of dangling participles.  I did not pay attention to how dangling participles can take the reader away from the subject.  I also failed at.

To improve my weaknesses my plan is to use an outline to organize my thoughts about a particular subject matter.  I think an outline would allow me to see what belongs in my piece and what does not belong.  I also plan to use the Bang book and reshoot some of the images I have already taken from different angles in an effort to create tension.  One thing that stuck with me in reading the Bang book is that angles create tension.  I can also improve on the placement of my new images.  This might allow my design to be more sleek and clean.

                I honestly believe that your strengths can also improve.  I think that I could use more contrast and saturation when putting together a design, instead of everything being the exact same color.  I also think that with more reading and writing different genre of things I can improve in my writing.  I also think I can improve the images quality.

bad PSA

While I enjoyed this PSA, there are always ways to make things better.  A few things that I may change about this PSA is adding more to the script because the announcer appears to get cut off.  The announcer never mentions where the other kids come from and it looks like it was missing from the script.  I think it would make a stronger message to add where the other kids come from.  I think that both the kids should be coming from their neighborhoods and hook up.
