Chapter 3- billboard design 101

1. because the audience needs something as obvious as a billboard.
2. clear hierarchy, advantage of conventions, break up pages, obvious clicks, minimize noise.
3. importance, order
4. bold, big, color, clickable, accessible.
5. same color, same size, same area
6. conventions
7. hierarchy
8. newspaper
9. online, like shopping chart images
10. look for words or use more energy than needed
11. its hard to understand and look at
12. a layout or image that is noticeable and recognizable
13. somebody's bright idea, until everyone starts using it
14. shopping cart or TV icon in corner
15. because some people might not recognize them or understand what they are meant for
16. you need to make sure its a clear and innovate design
17. because if you don't everything will get smushed together and no one will know whats important
18. decide very quickly which parts they like and don't ever use the others
19. a little arrow, the word search, value
20. one is too much stuff, the other is too much pattern or background
21. lines between items
22. everything is noise until proven otherwise

Don't make me think 2

1. We expect people to look at all of our text and figure out how to do it from there but they really just look for something that stands out to them.
2. We don't read pages. we scan them.
3. In a hurry, don't need to read everything, already good at it.
4. you would make things bold and exaggerate main points or important phrases.
5. We don't make optimal choices. We satisfice.
6. We choose the first reasonable option.
7. firefighters, pilots, chess masters, and nuclear power plant operators.
8. usually in a hurry, not a penalty for guessing wrong, guessing is more fun.
9. We don't figure out how things work. We muddle through.
10. People who type out the entire url
11. its not important to us, if we find something that works, we stick to it.
12. they'll have a better chance of figuring things out, they'll notice all that you have to offer, they'll feel smarter, more in control
13. If your audience is going to act like you're designing billboards, then design great billboards.

I went onto CNN and read an article as well as watched a video about google drones and what they do. Basically, the drones are being used to transport items and objects to places. They look a little like airplanes, and create less traffic on the streets considering they fly instead; going just high enough to dodge the trees and houses along the way. (i guess the roads are too mainstream now)

This invention can not only help the environment, but it can help those in need. If there is ever someone that needs assistance or urgent help, these droids can fly over with a care package quicker than any human or vehicle. Its almost like we're in a real life hunger games!!

Google

In December 2013 google.com was listed as the most visited website in the world.Google was founded by Larry Page and Sergey Brin while they were Ph.D. students at Stanford University. Together they own about 16 percent of its shares. They incorporated Google as a privately held company on September 4, 1998.While conventional search engines ranked results by counting how many times the search terms appeared on the page, the two theorized about a better system that analyzed the relationships between websites. They called this new technology PageRank; it determined a website's relevance by the number of pages, and the importance of those pages, that linked back to the original site.The colors yellow blue red and green represent wind water fire and earth; this is the cross of business. Plenty of other companies use these colors such as AVG Antivirus 
Ebay 
Microsoft 
Brasil 2014 
Google Chrome 
Gmail 
Super Mario 64 
Nintendo 64 
Playstation 
Rugby League World Cup: Australia 2008

10 things about myself~

This poster not only lists 10 things about myself, but it describes my life. Everything shown on this poster is something i hold dear to me and honestly cherish. Some may be loved far more than others, but nonetheless, they all hold a very dear place in my heart. If someone is becoming close with me, it is very important for them to know these things about me. Because although it may take quite some time to get to know someone, things such as these can show so much about a person and their heart. So overall, this reveals my personal story by showing the things that mean most to me. When we as humans go through trials, it changes us and makes us who we are. The trials in my life have caused me to be this person now and i am proud of that. It shows my personal story, and who i would like to become. one of the things on my poster is adventure. I believe this world is far too beautiful to just pass up. I once heard a quote that said "the world is like a book. if you don't travel, you stay stuck on the first page." Another thing on my list is Art. I am constantly drawing or painting, and it helps me release all of my stress. All of these represent my story, and I'm proud of that.
