Communication is the basis for human life and maintaining healthy relationships. Language is how individuals are able to vocalize their intentions, feelings and ideas. Characters that are able to control their use of language and balance it with action are users of authentic action according to Paulo Freire.

Moreover, other artists paint their artworks with the aim of fulfilling the aesthetic purpose in the society. It remains of significance for people to try and isolate…

simplistic version of the basic grid. Instead of using as many grids as necessary, the rule of thirds simply splits the project into three portions, long and wide, giving a total of nine boxes. Once the focal point is established, the rest of the graphics are spaced within the realm of the 3x3 grid. This is the concept I believe was most utilized most frequently in the designs featured on the website. The final, and most respected layout concept in this list, is the…

Throughout our life we make many friendships and build many relationships. We also break many friendships and relationships, and in the process, we meet many people we think are worthy of being our friend and we hold them to be truthful with everything we say.
