I made a website in Word and this is sorta what it looks like but I don't know how to upload it to the site. It's a very simple design and there are two other pages, one with the menu and one with our prices.


Here goes:

Job Title

We offer home cooked entrees delivered right to your door! It doesn’t get any better than this: we do the grocery shopping and the cooking. Many of our entrees and casseroles are stand-alone meals and you can add your own vegetables or rice to complete your healthy meals for the others.

Key responsibilities

We do all our grocery shopping in advance, so your orders must be in by midnight on Friday in order to have your meals delivered the following week. We deliver Tuesday through Thursday. You must order 3 or 6 items at a time, all carefully prepared and delivered right to your door.

Progress on project

I designed a web page on word but I can't upload it to the .com for some reason. I guess word doesn't work with the software from the web host? But I've kept up my myspace page for Coriander & Cloves except we need to post a November menu. I made a slide show of several entrees, though, to illustrate our October menu.
My sister's husband is printing our flyers as time permits for him since he's doing it at cost for his sister-in-law and I'm so excited!
I've gotten a few ideas for a logo but the one I like best is still too busy so it's still back to the drawing board on that one.

Project milestone due!!

So I'll be turning in my project notes for my project because I've been working on it this whole time of course since it's a subject very near and dear to my heart. I have a rough draft. I haven't uploaded the page correctly yet to my .com so I'm struggling, I guess, but the MySpace page is still coming along and we've gotten several inquiries about prices and deliveries but no customers from there yet. We're still looking for a printer to print menus at a cost that will allow them to be disposable so we can inundate Anderson with our images. My sister's husband is a printer so he offered to do it for us at cost but on his own time so we're playing tag now with some modifications he suggests.

CSI in class:
Ist episode of season 3
I've never watched this show but this is rather interesting and definitely tension-inducing!
Where is the tension?
First "cliff hanger" comes just before the opening credits and likely commercial.
Tensions keep cropping up at the end of each scene so there are lots of little peaks before even the first commercial break!
And the tensions keep coming as the plot thickens...
"It's not what did happen it's what a jury believes what could have happened!" Very clever! And just before another commercial break.

Where are the resolutions?

first resolution begins once the program returns as they take the suspect away.
The next resolution doesn't even come until late in the "trial", very late in the episode, actually just prior to end credits! What a relaxing evening...tense for an entire hour without relief before a resolution occurs!

film

  • Brings imagination to life
  • Search for the hero
  • Film is the intersection of art
    • movement
    • creative artistic expressions
    • music
  • Across the Universe
    Fifth Element
    Die Hard
    30 Days of night
  • If you've seen a historical movie, well, you know all about that era
    (So true! Movies don't lie!!)



Citizen Kane--The greatest movie of all time! (yeah, right!) But could a book have told the story in the same way? You wouldn't've been able to see how his ex answered in her drunken rage or how pitiful she was after he died.
The depictions of how his home changed over the course of dinner conversations was engaging.


Assignment for Thursday: p.310, first assignment and write about my reflections.

tuesday, 10-16

Photographs! Lines in the photograph depict motion as well as depth. The first photo we observed in class comprised of a line of spectators across the top and a line of police leading down to the woman resisting, trying to push the line back.
The second photo depicts a line of tanks being held up, effectively stopped, by a pedestrian. The lines of the street and the arrows on the blacktop all direct the eyes towards the lone pedestrian. One man really can make a difference! One man stands up against 4 tanks; he represents courage.
Daguerreotype-Predecessor of the modern photograph. Frenchman Daguerre invented a way to preserve an image for posterity. Before Daguerre, there was no "past" except as it was remembered or written. Suddenly, there was a way to preserve how things looked! The difference between the photo and the painting is that a painting is shaped by the painter's perspective. Photographs and daguerreotypes are unbiased.
There is no way to cheat photography (well, now there is); photos are honest, they tell it like it is!
Stieglitz revolutionalized the photograph industry. He took photography from documenting and reproducing for posterity to ART! He captured life as it happened, creating a genuine impression of the past instead of historical documents.

Dorothea Lang was a photojournalist. She also brought photography to yet another new level. She did the migrant mother we looked at earlier this semester when we looked at how poverty is depicted.

Assignment: On Sunday at exactly 12 noon, point my camera out the window and photograph something! Anything! Think of placement and depth. For example, don't split the frame in the center with a tree trunk. Between noon and 12:10, take several, and then blog about what I see in the picture.

Logos

What does a logo represent? The entire product and or service! Loyalty, brand recognition, lifestyle (?)...

Contrast
Balance
Rhythm--how the eye moves across the image
Unity--the over-all, stylistic choices

Dots center your eye; the eye "reaches" for them.

An image speaks louder than a thousand words!
Case in point: Big Hearted Bob's billboard

Saul Bass is the one name I should remember from this class!!
He designs logos such as: at&t, Quaker oats, United Way, Starbucks, Dodge
He reduced the Bell logo to it's basic components; no fancy 3d components because they don't need it

Apple computers had a colorful apple with a bite taken out of it, the computer for the rest of us, so the rainbow is where the image takes you: take a bite out of this rainbow apple and you will find the pot of gold! Take a bite out of this "fruit of knowledge" and get a great computer (source of knowledge). Maybe...the viewer took that bite or the viewer is that last piece that makes the apple whole. Nowadays, it's a futuristic, glassy apple but still with the bite missing. The shape is still the same because it still works.

IBM logo with the lines seem to try to represent movement and stability (rhythm of this logo).

Quaker oat meal logo has a traditional, historical image over a modern font. Always evolving without changing; connecting the traditional with modern!
