Flier

Major Project Idea

Step 1: 

Art City Austin 

I will take photos of art 

Information that I will research will be who, what, when, where, and how about the Art downtown

Step 2: 

A flier 

In indesign 

Step 3: 

Indesign is the best service for creating a flier because a flier uses texts and pictures 

Step 4: 

I will capture this downtown during the art festival 

Step 5:

I will transfer my images and video when I'm done getting all the information about the Art City Austin

Front Pages of the World

1. Secret School Shooting, this is my favorite because the title is really big and it makes you want to read more. 

2. 

3. Trenton, N.J
4. My favorite headline is "teen brings bb gun, shoots two classmates…" I'm interested in this because I wonder what made the kid want to shoot the two classmates.
5. There is only one story on the font page
6. Things that newspapers have in common are that they have big titles and they all have at least one thing on their front page that they make to catch someones eye.
7. Things that might be different in a newspaper is that they could have only one story on the front page instead of a lot like this one.

New Values

1. Timliness: an event that just happened
2. Proximity: how close the event is close to you or where the event happened
3. Conflict: people fighting
4. Prominence: important or famous people
5. Human Interest: Drama
6. Impact: how a story affects you
7. Novelty: weird stories

Year in a Review: 2013

I like this photo because the sky is a different color and it is really cool and unique. If only I could see this in real life because I've only seen skies like this in pictures.

I think this photo is really creepy, but I like it because I think it's crazy that all of those people are getting married on the same day. I've never heard of such a thing. I wouldn't feel like my wedding is special because everyone is getting married the same day as you.

I think that this photo is really cool and whoever took this photo got a good view of the whale and the people that are on the boat. It really looks like the whale is about to hit the boat but the people who are on the boat don't know that. That's why I like this photo.
