Most people have a story about how their parents decided on their name, especially those of us who have less common ones. Mine is fairly dry; my parents looked through a book of names and decided that “Maizie” was charming and sweet and would fit me well. My sister’s story, however, is slightly more intriguing. Cleo Arden Seidl, born on August 3rd of 2001, was named by me, Maizie Regan Seidl, when I was just two years and nine months old.

Album covers are an important aspect in the music culture and industry. Many album covers vary, depending on the artist itself and music genres. However, all album covers are meticulously designed to represent an artist’s vision and work from their music. Musicians will choose an album artwork that represents them and their music. BADLANDS by Halsey and True Colors by Zedd are respectable examples of artists who choose their covers based on their inspirations. These two album covers are well thought of and beautifully created with depth and substance. Music is art, and so are album covers.

One of her art pieces had the honor to win first place at the Congressional Art Competition. The painting, titled “Innocence,” depicts a small child in a tree house wearing a super-hero costume, with the background, made out of newspaper clippings reporting horrible things such as car accidents, house fires, Ebola and shootings.

I used a font size of 13 because 14 seemed overbearing. I bolded the headings to make them stand out more and be a little darker than they would have originally been. For my main text, I used Goudy Old Style at a font size of 11 and bolded the text. I used this font style because it has a small and diligent appearance to it. In a way it reassembles Athelas, but one could tell the difference. I used a font size of 11 because it wasn’t too overbearing and helped keep that small, thin, and light look I was aiming for. With these fonts, I made a two column design with right justified text. I decided to go with two columns for ease of reading. Three columns included fewer words in a line which was confusing, as a reader. With three columns, I felt like I was rushing through the text because each line ended very quickly. I chose right justified text for ease of reading and understanding. There is a lot of important info to take in so the easier the read, the more will be taken in. For my title graphic, I wanted something with a calm earth tone that wasn’t obnoxious. I felt as if the one I chose was perfect for that. It didn’t have any obnoxious colors sticking out. It

Early on I worked from the premise that people don’t exercise enough imagination when naming their children and merely employ the same names over and over again. Every child in the country carries the name David or Robert or Ann or Mary. Well, that isn’t true and there’s an abundance of unusual, exotic, strong, wonderful names currently being worn with pride.

My name is Jonathan Garcia. If Jonathan was a color, it would be blue it describes its cool just like Jonathan. My mom called me Jonathan because she really liked the name. I wasn't name after anyone but I have my dad's last name. My nickname is jo or Jon and my family calls me that because it's short name for Jonathan. If Jonathan was a animal he would be lion because lions are strong just like a Jonathan. My parents wanted my last name to be Garcia and my brother last name to be Sanchez.

It is a nice day out which just makes Iowa State seem more beautiful. The light tan color of the building reflects light well giving the perception that it is a sunny day. This also makes the green vines stand out. The green vines running up the pillar really stands out due to their color. The largest text draws attention and then the dark green vines right behind the text draws your eye. It runs vertically up the page and leads to the text at the top of the page. The text at the top is white on a blue sky background and it makes the letter pop. All the colors make it so the text is easy to read and follow along with. They make the image clean cut and show structure that is appealing for

“If I’m gonna tell a story, I’m gonna start with my name.” (Kendrick Lamar) Names. They are the first impressions, the differentiators, what makes a person him or her. It is found within human nature to classify things, and the most basic classification of a person is their name. When Frankenstein neglected his creation, a creation that doesn’t even have a name, Victor took away the chance that the demon was never given.

A lot of neon type colors are used in the panels to communicate. The mountain in the back is the subsidiary contrast in this scene, you can see it in the background especially as the UFO approaches but is not the main focus. This mountain is called Devils Tower in Wyoming. This scene has a low density considering it’s in the dark in the middle of the desert and not a whole lot of lighting other than the lights created by the UFO and the base. Those lights are high density as those are super bright. This scene is generally divided into two different general areas, the center and left but mainly center. The UFO is mainly always the center of attention in all camera shots. This scene is closed, as it is something that was manufactured and not real. They manufactured a unique based in the middle of the desert with a giant colorful floating UFO. Also, the government agents and UFO never leave the limits of the frame. The area portrayed in this scene displays a type of loose framing, the characters in this scene have a large area to move around in and aren’t confined into one little area. The

I picked this image because I like how it has a rustic look too it kind of reminds me of the western movies. For the title I used a slab-serif called Rosewood Std as the font because it has the western feel, which works with the feel of the image. For the informational part I used sans-serif called Helvetica. I tried doing what Saltz mentioned when it comes to a dark or light background to use dark or white for the font so it’s legible to read. I, also like what Adam mentioned as well about negative space, which is the image itself and I didn’t want to over power the scenery with too much font. I wanted that negative space to be the eye-catching star for this poster. I once again picked some colors from the image for the color of my font

In the movie the Shining there was a lot of mise-se-scene used in it to get the viewers pulling in and to get there blood pumping. The first scene that showed a lot of mise-se-scene was the scene that happened when Wendy was stumbling threw the hotel losing her sanity. This specific shot was in one of the rooms that she looked into. The shot was the one that had all of the skeletons in it. In the still there is so much mise-se-scene that can be seen and picked out. First, the angle is a normal angle, which may have been used to make the viewer feel as though they are the one who is looking in on this horrific or strange room. Second, there is a hazy effect given by the spider webs in far left corner of the screen where one skeleton sit. In addition there is fog effect stretches across the whole room. Furthermore this look in the picture shows the viewer that the room is old and has not been touched in a very long time. In addition, the effect of the fog could also lead the view to get the feeling of unclearness and feeling that something is going to grab them. Third, the blue tent that lays across the whole room give it a sad, loopy feeling. However, it also can be seen as

The cover features a futuristic themed title with beveled and embossed font centered at the top. I chose the specific

For my first semester exam print, I used an old photograph of a Coca-Cola sign from my summer assignment. This print was inspired and based off the life of my grandfather, who worked at at Coca-Cola as a route salesman for thirty years, up until his retirement. My grandfather’s job single handedly support The first semester exam print has been my favorite project by far, as I deeply enjoyed getting to experiment with darkroom techniques that I had not tried before.

The first techniques the director used were two shot and costume. The two shot technique comes in when Doctor Merrick and Lincoln Six Echo were inside the room sitting by the table. It showed how the two characters were wearing opposite coloured clothing. Doctor Merrick was wearing an all-black suit and tie while Lincoln was wearing an all-white tracksuit. The purpose for the use of these techniques was to create a sense of authority and show the relationship between the characters. The different colour of clothing tells us who has more power. The costume of Lincoln in white could be associated with being naïve and having purity of mind which reflected when he kept on asking plenty of questions about the things inside the facility. While Doctor
