Tylenol

Tylenol

In this advertisement they are using logic and alittle bit of character , too. To advertise they used real people to show they're emotions and how it helps they're old ache body. They used words such as:

" Nobody knows your body better than you do"
"You know what parts you're weak and where you're strong"
"Doctors recommend it"

When using logic, they're trying to seduce you to buy they're product because by saying it targets your pain.
They also use alittle of criticism when they mention that Aspirin or even Ibuprofen.

Its persuading me because its telling me that it targets my pain, where ever it hurts, without interfering with certain high blood pressure like Aleve does. So its using competition to say what Aleve does, Tylenol does it better with no risks.

It basically wants you to by their brand and u can tell they want you to do that when they're mentioning other brands and what it does that isn't good for your body.
The target that really makes you believe it is when they use character in there:
"So you wont feel better physically, you'll feel better knowing that doctors recommend Tylenol , more than any other brand of pain reliever.

If you ask me you ask me, I think Tylenol is a good brand to trust, because it actually knows where you're pain is, like magic, and plus my doctor always recommends that if i have any pain or aches. So this Advertisement does persuade me.

The Brail Library

On 7-17
We went to the Braill Library:

One fact about the library that I learned is that they have talking cassettes for books.

I think that it is very helpful for anyone that comes to that library, and it saves you alot of time.
I think going to the braill library was very interesting for one because they didn't only have books for blinds,
but they also had many other tools, such as cassettes. When I first walked into the braill library, I honestly
thought it was going to be only books, but when we walked around, we saw cassettes, kids center, and their
very own radio station. One natural sound I thought was cool was when the braill printing was printing out.
It was really loud so i liked the sound that was coming out of the machine. One thing that Ms. Katherine
Pierce said " I have lots of volunteers, I even had this one lady work for me every weeks for 23 years.
My experience there was really new, because I’ve never been to a braill library, and i  enjoyed it.

Seattle Times

On 7-16-08

We went to the the Seattle Times Newspaper Co.
I really liked going there for so many reasons. For one its the newspaper industries. So i had to explore an hour of where our newspaper come from. Secondly i got to ask really good questions like: "Do you think you're making a change in the world or community." And they wen on and on and on and on...it got really boring at times, but I just kept on nodding all day, acting as if i was interested. I also learned there that they have a huge competition against P.I. Newspaper. If you ask me, which one I like better i would say: "well it think they're both great. It was really fun interviewing the news people. I learned new things, and I've never been to Seattle Times, so it was a new experience for me.

Resumes

We also did resumes check mine out:




Podcast

 Ok today we worked with this guy named Steven Vroom on pod-casting, and it was really fun and exciting recording. So today we used this program called Audacity, and we recorded 3 tracks, about all us. I recorded somethings such as about me, my favorite stuff, and my goals. It was really cool deleting all the "umm" and the "uhh" now i know what they use when they're recording music videos.
It was really great, it is not i've never done before. Everything I do here in 911 Media Arts is new to me. I learn something new everyday. The podcasting we did, we made into a MP3...and i can't wait to get my own C.D.

NGL Logo


Hey again,

This is a Logo I've been working on for about a week. We made this logo in Illustrators ...and it turned out pretty nice. You're probably wondering what these logos are for...well whey're suppose to print them out on a T-shirt...and it stand for :

N: Next
G:Generation
L:Lab

I can't wait to see how the T-shirts turn out. Not only I but the other guys made one too, and there's look pretty awesome, too. I didn't know anything about Illustrator until Elizabeth introduced it too us, and its pretty easy to use. Now we use it for almost all the projects we work on. I have a couple of samples for the logo, but i liked this one the best.

Pics of Us making our games-> featuring: Jason

















On these photos we were getting ready to make up our games....As u can see that blue one is what we started with but as u saw already that was our finaly copy....and its Amaaazinggg!!
Making the game got us to thinking....what can we mak, that isn't too much and not to less? Then Autumn said how about candy...."Everyone loves candy" And so we made a game about candy. We changed the rules of the game a hundred times either because it didn't make sense or you couldn't play with it. Now that the game is done it looks sooo much better! :-)

MY GAME BOARD DESIGN

After
















Before
















As i was talking about earlier i told you that we were designing our own games, and here it is. A game designed no other than myself and Autumn. When i looked at the before and after pic, i say WOW!! I made alot of changes and i'm proud of it too. I mean come on look at the game, doesn't it look so deserting and special. It took alot of steps. The first step was the goal of the overview, rules, structure....etc. When Autumn and I was designing the game, we actually didn't want to do for one because we were to lazy and for two we didn't think it would turn out good, but i'm proud that i took the time to listen to Tina, and all that helped me. To make this game we used Illustrator and a little bit of photo shop. As you can see there is the before and after....and there's another before pic, but thats how it looked when starting to use illustrator. The pics we got from google.com and ask.com. Not only did we design this game but we also designed the cards that go along with it. I can't wait until this game is good and ready to play. This is so amazing I've never made my own game, but take a look at that, do you believe its my first time? Honestly it is. We love our game....do you know the name of it? No? You don't? Well its kinda obvious don't you think? There's candy everywhere. We decided to call it "Candy Adventure" How do you like our title? Do you like it? I love it! We love it! IT's Terrific! Amazing! Something out of this world! A game board you've never seen or played before! Its Hot!!!!

SYEP 2 Week Experience

Hello Everyone and Everybody, Today I will talk about my experience here at 911 media for the past couple of weeks. The first week was amazing it was basically all fun and learning. We made our own games and learned a couple of new ones from a guy name Jason. When we made our games, we were going to make it into the real deal so we started making them and designing them, which turned out great. I loved being here for the past 2 weeks and halve. I've learned so much in such little time. In this 3rd week that we are in, we are still working on the games we designed and it should be finally ready but the end of this week. I can't wait to see how its going to turn out. The cool part about making the games were that we got to go in partners and work together. It was I Fatuma Asker and Autumn Donaldson who made Candy Adventure. Bakari Hayes and Mohammed Mohammed who made Hobo Monopoly, and last but not least Abdi Hassan and Chris Chu who made Assassin. All of us made really cool games and we are all proud of it. I can't to see what they got in store for us.

Toodles (TTYL)
