Abstract

This project was the Abstract typography project. Here I chose the letter V and just took it and created this image. I think this one looks better than my CharacterCharacter one because of the one color I used and how I made it into one hue and made the top lighter than the bottom. It took me a while to think of how i was going to create a cool picture just using one color and one letter but still making it look artistic, and I have to say i think it came out quiet nicely.

CharacterCharacter

The CharacterCharacter project was a project where we had to recreate objects, scenes, or even animals using only letter characters. I clearly made a bunch of turtles in an ocean swimming and a puppy laying on a couch. This project was sort of difficult for me because creating the puppy on a couch and trying to make it look realistic was difficult but I think I pulled it off quiet nicely even though it doesnt look terribly realistic. I personally liked this project because I really liked how my turtles turned out, but i can inagine other students in this class not even seeing the point of doing it in the first place. Although it did take me a super long time to find the background of the ocean, because i couldnt find an underwater picture with nothing but the sea and sand, without pictures or turtles and coral or other fish in the picture.

typography

There are many different terms for the different types of fonts there are on a computer. As you can see in my picture it illustrates these different types. For one italics is when the letter is slightly slanted, or the ascender is the part of the letter that sticks upwards outside of the x-height, like the h, and the descender is the part that sticks below the x-height, like the g. Sans-serif is the type of font that has all smooth sides on all of its letters while serif is when they have semi-structured details on the ends of the letters. The x-height is the height of the lower case x from the top to the bottom which most lower case letters all fit. Typography can be very helpful to show or express writing in a different way which can evoke a different feeling from just the font type.

Privacy

Are you aware of what agreements you have entered into with Facebook or other social networking sites?
Yes I am currently aware of the new settings on facebook. This article is talking about how many people are complaining about the new settings on facebook and that they should change. They say that the settings are set too loosely and that they should be changed. Ultimately it is the fault of the person who has the facebook for not reviewing their new settings. If they accepted these new terms they should read over what they are accepting rather than just accepting it not knowing what they are agreeing too. I think that facebook is not at fault although their new default settings are set loosely, they simply just want to spread net working and want to make it so other people can find you on facebook like long lost friends or distant reletives. If each individual person does not agree with the settings that have been set by facebook it is up to them to change it themselves not to blame facebook for this new default settings. I know many of the new regulators strongly appose them but they should realize that facebook again is not at fault. It is the individual that should change what they do or do not want to be seen by the public. But i do see their side of the story. It is a problem in this country that their are many dangerous people trying to find women or just others to stalk and that they are trying to eliminate that by setting more difficult default settings that will eliminate that, but some people are different than others and only allow certain information that others may or may not give out aswell. Again it is up to the individual to set their own settings not just rely on facebook to do it for them, they are the only ones at fault here and shouldnt try to penalize facebook for their faults, if they didnt like the new settings that are now in place then they shouldnt have accepted the new terms of agreement that facebook has set as their default, or atleast should have read through them before accepting them.
