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. 

Yo quiero Taco Bell (from print to commericial)

I remember this commercial as if it was yesterday although it originated on 1997.  I remember because I was studying Spanish in like the 6 or 7 grade and that was the most popular phrase because we all knew what it meant and how to pronounce it correctly.

I remember seeing this picture pop up all around. 

What are you goin to do? (call-to-action)

 

 I was flipping through this magazine and I seen quite a few ads that were call-to-action.  I guess I never really paid them any attention after I received the information I wanted/needed that I did not read on to find out more by reading on to identify what the ad wants the audience to do.  I guess a call-to-action is just that simple as visiting a website or dialing a number for more information. 

This was very helpful in viewing some ads and identifying the call-to-action when planning for my project because I did not know that a call-to-action was so simple.  I also read on a few email from campus police asking students, faculty and staff to call campus police if your see or hear anything and that was just one line like most I had seen.  I started imagining for my project that I had to come up with a long to-do list for my audience to complete.
