I come in contact with advertising everyday. The advertising I discern varies from graffiti on buildings to billboards along the highway to pictures in a magazine. Advertisements, along with the advertisers, have one sole purpose; to attract the consumer’s eye. Although there are various forms of advertising, all advertisements speak the same seducing language. In, The Language of Advertising by Charles A. O’Neill, he discusses the many language techniques advertisers use. O’Neill emphasizes…

Persepolis are both considered graphic novels by a multitude of critics, yet some critics think of them in a more specific sense. Common genres used for the two books are memoir and biography. Although Maus and Persepolis are both graphic novels and can be considered memoirs or biographies, they can be more specifically categorized with the genre creative nonfiction, because of the authors’ use of modern frameworks, round characters, and juxtaposition. Overall, the term graphic novel is not an…

Advertising is extremely different from how it was in the past. Gone are the days where advertisements are simply showing the newest product that helps a person with their everyday life. Unlike the 1970s, where one would see about five hundred ads a day, nowadays one may come across about five thousand ads a day (Heldman). All of this can be blamed on new technology. As a result of an abundance of competition between companies, advertisers are constantly looking for the best tactic to get…

I have found through my AS Psychology lessons and from personal experience with family members, that mental illness is a topic that interests me immensely. In my lessons I learned how mental illness is treated and theories about how it is caused, such as the biological approach which suggests that mental illness is caused by changes to the brain or neurotransmitters. For example, there is evidence to suggest that depression is caused by the lack of serotonin in the body. My interest in mental…

“Passion is the difference between having a job or having a career”. This anonymous quote speaks volumes to what went into my decision making process in choosing a career. It was extremely important for my career path and personal enjoyments to have kindred spirits. I am captivated by anything that will tease or challenge my mind and revel in all things technology. It is my desire to pursue a career as a database architect because of its promising outlook, lucrative salary opportunities, and…

In everyday life, people usually do not consider how they are constantly gauging one another based on words exchanged between the two, either through small coffee talk, political disagreements, and even gossip. It may be by the language one uses, or the way the body reacts; however one thing that stands out is probably the way a person can make you feel. The people in my life that I interact with each has their own unique way of communicating, some good and some bad. So who are my best and worst…

Young adults and many others are typically using social media extremely too much nowadays, and we are so unaware of what is going on outside of their social media world. Which is causing many harmful benefits to ourselves? People will always have their own reasons for why they 're using social media and technology. Of course, there are many great benefits but many more negative effects as well. For example, Steven Johnson stated, “Yes, technology and social media can make the far feel near. But…

most people started with painting or drawing, but how was I introduced to graphic design in general? Before even applying for college, I went to Rhode Island School of Design for a pre-college summer program, just to see what college art classes would be like. I planned to take illustration class, but unfortunately the class was already full, and I took graphic design instead. That was the first time I was introduced to graphic design. I didn’t like the class in the first place. First, I was in…

Every day I check my Instagram and Facebook to see what my friends have posted. The posts of pictures I see are what I use to interpret what I think about that person. I make assumptions and conclude a lot from a single photo. However, what I perceive is not always the truth about that given situation or person. People post certain pictures for a reason. That picture meant something to them. They wanted others to view it, therefore they posted it. Are they posting these pictures to convince…
