Colors in Motion

This website showed different symbolisms and compliments of colors.  I liked this interactive website because it has videos and was fun to participate in. It was an interesting way to learn about the positive and negative aspects of colors.  This is a fun website to learn more about color.

Is Google Making Us Stupid?

In Nicholas Carr's article, Is Google Making us Stupid? he addresses the dependancy of society today on the internet and computers.  Whenever we need to find something out we simply enter it into google or a search engine and the answers are given to us quickly. However, even that sometimes is more than we want.  We always search for the direct answer in the least amount of words possible, short and to the point.  I wouldn't say google is making us stupid but it is making us lazy. We learn what we want to know and it not what we should know.

Museum Reflections

After walking through the museum I realized a couple of things.  Technology and media have evolved a lot and they have evolved quickly.  It was interesting to see not just only how computers and phones have developed but even books and sources of information.  It has become so much simpler for people to save things, documents, information, pictures, videos etc.  I can't wait to see how it will all develop next.

WARNING: THIS PHOTO MAY CAUSE SERIOUS HEALTH PROBLEMS

People don't realize when they see pictures the extent of which they are edited to, people prefer photo editing in replacement of eating healthy and excercising because they don't have the time too. Just by fixing sun spots you can make it appear as though 10 years are taken off of you and by softening pixels you can lose 15 lbs just at the click of a button.

Warning Label: I don't think photoshopped images need a warning label. Photoshopping may have the power to make people want to look a certain way but it isn't dangerous.

Curtis Building

I took pictures of the Curtis Building on campus from different angles.  I took two different side view shots one going into the sun one with the sun behind me and it changed the lighting in the pictures.  I also took two different shots from underneath the building.  I also took one picture of the building head on.

Compressed Photos

These photos are licensed to morgueFile.  I downloaded the images and then resized them to 1024x768 because it will allow the pictures to fit better on a screen and have the proper pixels to be viewed and supported by programs.
