Suicide Prevention Poster project

- This would be the poster that I created for our suicide prevention project. At first I seriously had no idea what to make it out of.  But as I remembered the presentation that we had, depression was something that i really wanted to understand. Therefore i focused on explaining what depression was and explaining to the audience what it is and how it might look like, adding a brief paragraph on how it affects individuals.  I made each word or phrase, different to make them stand out, and catch the eye. I did enjoy this project though because it is a topic that i can personally relate to.

-This is a picture of the game that i attempted to re-create using the codes given on one of the links that i posted up earlier. I was able to successfully give function to the ball and the paddle. But, as you can the red block above was suppose to be one of the blocks that ...

Game On Reflection

- After, watching the documentary on video games, realized how much progress they have made ever since they were brought up in 1972. To know that the person who created the  first Pong game was simply trying to make a TV  monitor show some different type of entertainment, is pretty interesting.  These people are definitely visionaries.  I remembered seeing the Atari games come out in the animated series Spider-man from 1994. When I was smaller I remembered my older brother playing Mario and Dong King Kong on the Nintendo system, I played the Gameboy. Sega Genesis, was one of the game systems that I would see friends play. Overall it was a really interesting documentary on how, what, and when video games began to take over living room spaces.

KONY Poster

- This is my KONY poster. I had never used Photoshop before, and I had never worked on art by using a computer. Although I consider myself artistic, it was difficult to come up with this image. In my mind I had an image that I believed was going to be easy to bring to live by using Photoshop, but I was wrong. But, it helped come up with another image that I felt confident about. Not knowing how to use this program really frustrated me, I missed my pencil, and paper. What I'm mostly appreciative about is, that Steven Snell helped me out a lot. He helped me crop out the picture's background, basically, he helped me understand the wonderful world of Photoshop and for that I thank him.  He also gave me a link to see different fonts, I really like the fonts I used by the way it gives it decorartes the background just fine. As for what I believe I could have had worked on better was the background and on portraying emotion. Other then that I hope you understand the story that I tried to tell with my KONY 2012 poster.

KONY 2012!

- So, today was my 2nd time watching this video, and well I have been aware of the situation since my freshman year. To finally hear that the Invisible Children Foundation has been able to see results for all these years is HOPE. It means that as humans we can do a lot, by coming together, they started their own REVOLUTION. They brought awareness and then action, and now they're light into our world, to realize what has been occurring with these children. It is sad though to know how long it took for the U.S to approve this aid for the Ugandans.It was said that 2012 was the end of this world, but so far this year will be the beginning to the end of Kony, end to the war in Uganda, and the end for these blinding darkness that made these kids Invisible.
