Posters




These two poster are about the recognition of this special day.  We can easily see the difference of the two.  The first poster has a lot more color and is an upbeat picture that gets a person excited while looking at it.  The other poster is dull and makes you think about the past.  This technique works with some people but a lot of people enjoy looking at the prettier picture.  My personal opinion is that the color one is better. I enjoy the eye candy it gives me.  The other poster is  not a attractive and a lot less fun to look at.

Mid Term Part 2

I used GoAnimate.  I made a cartoon video by typing in dialogue and letting the rest of the system make the video.

I like the set up.  It was very easy to do but obviously the voices sound like robots.  If I could have changed something, I would have gotten my hands on a microphone and recorded my voice. This would have made the voices sound realistic.

Better quality would have added more emotion and I believe the audience would enjoy it more.

The Office Stars: Dwight and Jim


Dwight Schrute and Jim Hapert are two co-stars of NBC's hit show "The Office".  These two men are about as opposite as they come and their extreme differences create very comical TV.  Dwight Schrute is a serious person, as shown above, where Jim is more laid back.  

Dwight always wears a bland color. Something brown or grey, but Jim is almost always in blue and green.  The colors match their personality.  Just by looking at Dwight, notice the lack of social skills he possesses.  Jim seems like the guy that just wants to have a nice conversation with.  This is a great cover up for the fun pranks he pulls on Dwight throughout the show.

The two characters have desks that border each others so they are always looking at each other.  This connection seem to spark a little rivalry between the two.  Dwight takes it as a serious threat where Jim tries to poke fun at Dwight.  Dwight loves to act like the smartest man on earth, and when he does, Jim always calls him out on either grammar and/or a dumb sentence in general.  

These two characters are not similar in anyway except the place in which they work, Dunder Mifflin Paper Company.  Dwight and Jim are the two funniest men on television and I believe it is because of the lack of similarity between the two.

Breakup Songs

Echo - Gorilla Zoe

This song is about a break up in which the girl breaks up with the guy.  The man is not very upset because he realizes that he is better off without her.   Part of the chorus is "Now there's nobody to argue with, cuz I'm not wrong.  Don't care who your with, don't call my phone."

What Goes Around, Comes Around - Justin Timberlake

This song by J.T. is also a break up song, but the man was in love with this girl.  He is upset that they are over but tries to play it off smooth.  The title is also the chorus.  He catches the women cheating and is very upset by this.  All we can say is "What goes around, comes around."
