Teen In The Toychest


Teen In The Toychest

There was once a teen named Alexandra and she was so crazily attached to her toys from her childhood that she took it to an extreme level of crazy. She is 4 feet of insanity. When an innocent random child is soundly asleep, she will randomly appear in their toy chest and haunt their dreams. But, little does she know there's only so many times she can get away with it before she can't anymore. She does that because of her traumatized childhood. When she was from 3 to 10 years old, all she was able to experience was her mother and father verbally, mentally, and physically abusing her. But, the reason it stopped at age 10 was because she finally stood up for herself, told her parents she couldn't take it any longer, and lived in a homeless shelter. The shelter had too many shady people. Then, after 4 years, her mental health worsened and she is not aware at first. She is offered help somehow. She turns it down, little did she know her insanity goes too far and death is upon her soon and she doesn't realize she should've gotten help until her life flashes before her eyes. There are several lessons to this movie including get help if you are offered and people can only take so much before they "tick."

HOMEWORK: Cigarettes & Red Vines

For the past 14 years a man named Dustin Stanton, who is a creative director along with being a graphic designer, has been designing soundtracks, movie posters, DVDs, and either adds in the newspaper or an FYC advertisement for many movies. Rewind to earlier, Dustin worker for this agency which was called Concept Arts in the year 2009. Dustin left late 2009 because he waned to either start up his own company or try out working with some other agency. Also, he like the fact of making his own working hours to work with individuals he enjoyed working with.
One of the posters Dustin worked on was called "The Master" and the way he made the poster was like a teaser. Using Photoshop and some certain tools in it he touched up one photo and changed the date on it. He also, applied his typography skills onto the poster. 
Personally, I liked reading about Dustin's interviews. I enjoyed the beauty of the awesome posters made by him. Also, as a whole it's an inspiring story to read because it motivates me to continue my liking towards computer graphics.So many awesome things can be done with the software for example; Photoshop and Illustrator.

How To Ruin A Great Design

In London, there is lots of traffic and traffic signs. And, now you can make your own "sloppily designed traffic signs." Personally, I don't really worry about traffic signs because I have more important things to worry about such as school, work, and family. Britain now has newer traffic signs and some of them do spoil something special being the road signage system. Around 1957 and 1967 two people designed the road signage system. There wasn't really anything that special about it. Some say that these signs were drawn in a sloppy manner and messy. But, not all of the signs looked bad.
