PostSecret
Todays activity was extremely fun. It allowed us to express our self anonymously so there is no way for someone to laugh at us personally. My post secret audience is kids who think they are better in things than they actually are. Kids who always think they can out do everyone but in reality they cant. The design feature that i use is simplicity. I choose to have only one picture just to bring the point out. My secret changed the style of the design because my secret was very plain so my picture, i thought, needed to be simple and precise.

Paper 3
The most effective peer review technique is when we read the paper by our self and we write small comments in the side of paper describing what work and what doesn't After we wrote on the paper we then discuss what we thought with the author of the paper.As we talk its brings up new ideas that the author should put in the paper as well take out parts that are confusing. The pitch would be more effective if we all had prepared for it but honestly i dont believe anyone worked on their pitch for more than 15 min to prepare. But the outcome was helpful because it brought ideas to me that i didn't think about. Overall the peer reviews helps me write my paper and bring new ideas i couldnt have come up with by my self.

This image tries to depict what happens when you drink too much Absolute Vodka. The shape of the blood containers is the same as the shape of an Absolute bottle. It describes that if you drink to much you will end up in the hospital. To further push this point under the picture there is a fragment that describes that by drinking too much you will end up in coma. The background colors help the viewer focus on the blood bag because by having completely different colors and all of them aiming to the middle the viewers eyes centralizes on the blood bag. This add is trying to explain that drinking a lot will end you up in a place where you dont want to be in, the hospital.

Magazine Advertisment
The advertisment in the Sports Illustrated magazine is meant for one audience, older men in their sixties. This ad has a picture of a older man up on a mountain over looking a lake. It tries to protray that even though the men in the picture is old he can still do anythign that he wants. This picture is in the background becasue Viagra is trying to show that nothign can stop you even as you get older. This ad uses pathos (emotion) to get the readers to buy their products becasue as men read the ad and see that the guy can do what he wants they might want to buy it or maybe other guys are around the same age as the guy in the ad so they feel they can do the same. This ad is trying to sell that you shouldnt let anythign stop you, so dont let a body disability stop you.

Free Writing
I have never been a reader. During my free time i have always preferred to be with friends or play sports; however, in the last couple years i started to get an urge to read. My first series of books i read were Dan Brown's: Lost Symbol, Angels & Demons, Deception Point and Digital Fortress. All these books dealt with the protagonist being chased around the world to save the world from something or someone. While reading these books they gave me a feeling indescribably. It was as if the books placed me next to the protagonist and we were saving the world together. I realized that all the books i have been reading had all one thing in common, they were actions-mystery books. The suspense and thrill the books gave me was like nothing else. The books made me feel as if the events occurring were real life events taking place all over the world. As i kept reading more and more i turned to war stories as my next genre to read. I found some really interesting war fictional stories based on nonfiction events. These books showed me a different of passed events. For example, one book was about sniper Chris Kyle and his record 255 confirmed kills during his four tours in Iraq. I was able to see how it was to be a soldiers in Iraq and feel like they have an angel watching their backs, which was Chris. I was hoping to continue my reading through college, but now when ever i have free time i prefer to be relaxing than reading a book. I hope to get back to reading but i'm stuck deciding what book to get.
I have never been a reader. During my free time i prefer to be relaxing with friends or playing sports; however, in the last couple years i started to get an urge to read. In the beginning it was weird deciding what to read because i had no clue what to read; mysteries, actions, romance they seemed all the same to me. So i decided to go to Barnes and Nobles and just walk around until i found a book i like. This lead me to find my first series of books i read. Which were Dan Brown's: Lost Symbol, Angels & Demons, Deception Point and Digital Fortress.

I hope to go back to reading the books i love; however, now with all the college work i get its hard to find some free time to relax and read an good book.
