Dexter by Design

This afternoon I attended a Sunday matinee for the production of This Random World written by Steven Dietz and directed by Paul Steger put on by the Johnny Carson School of Theatre & Film. I thought that the play tied all of the characters together extremely well and it was incredibly well preformed. Although I usually find plays of this genre of no interest to me, this play changed my opinion. I thought that it was really well done. First I would like to discuss the character of Scottie Ward,…

Rough Draft During this month we were learning about rhetoric devices how they affect the way we see things. What I mean by that is how we read, what's shown to us through pictures, commercials, and speeches. Those people who show that to us are using rhetorical devices such ethos, pathos, and logos. To change the way of emotion of how encounter things, to try and persuade us into what they are trying to say, sell, and get a message through. Mainly I have seen commercials use this to try and…

The way that past fashion styles influence trends of the future really inspires me. Learning how to interpret these influences motivated me to create a modern day outfit in AS Product Design that took strong style cues from the 1950’s era. The combination of the reserved ideas of the 50’s and the more relaxed style of the modern day helped me to create a contemporary piece with a strong heritage…

Upon completion of chapter 8, I thought: “yes. Intelligent Design, when science needs diving help, this is completely what Collins is advocating for.” I was wrong again. Intelligent Design is a means to explain the incredible complexity of today’s world. Collins presents the three main propositions of Intelligent Design: “Evolution promotes an atheistic worldview”, “evolution is fundamentally flawed, since it cannot account for the intricate…

image of Ana at ten years old, dancing in her room to the music’s lively beat. The lack of proportion in the background is evident as well as the childlike design of each image. Bright colors used in this illustration, such as light blue and salmon, grab the reader’s attention and relate the image as being full of life. In addition, line designs are also used in this image to show Ana’s gleeful movement coupled with the flowing music emerging from the radio speakers. Personally, these…

The feeling you cannot put into words, with visions beyond limits, is the heart of this campaign. I am proposing that Pandora partners with Pandora Radio in a…
