Here is a very cool video my friend showed me. It is visually very pleasing and the music in it is AWESOME. Check it out
I love this look at how sports affects a nation. The rugged design of the map gives the picture a feeling that sports came before anything else in America, graphically affirming America as the national pastime.

Magazine Revision
For my magazine I made the necessary changes that Professor Harper pointed out. I made sure to package the document so that all the images and fonts would be available on the server.
On the cover spread Professor Harper noted that the color printed out too dark. I lightened the color by changing the opacity from 100 percent to 80 percent. The images look significantly lighter and the fonts stand out more effectively.
For the first spread, I erased the shadow/glow on the font. I also rearranged the type so that it wasn’t too close to the bottom.
On the second spread I used the text-wrap tool to bring the text closer to the drop-cap. I also re-adjusted the size of my second image so that it was the width of the column. I followed all of Professor Harper’s suggestions, so hopefully my magazine has improved.
This picture stresses bringing text to life with a graphical rendition of the written word. It shows that great work in literature is something you can see, not just something you can read.
Wow. This is awesome. Doritos has really made something special here producing a 360 degree online commercial.
Check it out and tell me what you think.

I decided to completely revamp my magazine and do an entirely new topic because I really disliked my original project. I felt that doing my magazine on a topic I actually care about helped me design better. I chose to do my redo on Plein Air painting so I chose a lot of outdoorsy pictures and colors. I made sure that my pictures were high resolution this time and stuck to the grid. I was also more consistent with my design. I used much shorter pull quotes and put more effort into my sidebar. I made sure there were no widows and I used a 3 column layout in order to make my paragraphs smaller and easier to read.
I stumbled upon this website and thought it was really cool. It has all types of lists with different inspiring images or ideas. It’s good to look at whenever you are stuck and can’t think of new ideas.
This is really cool. I want to make things like this.
I have a crush on Ray Ban ads. They are graphically stunning! Though I will probably never find myself buying their expensive sunglasses, they do make it tempting. Each ad is bright and crazy and colorful and inspiring for sure.
