I know it says on the header Knauf 7, for some reason it wouldn't convert, it's right on my paper though.

reality?

How do I know this is reality? Because I have a terrible feeling about this test I have to take in less than two hours. My PCAT. The test that dictates whether or not I stay in Clemson for another year, and will be the hardest test I've taken. I know this real because in my "fantasy world," I would automatically get in pharmacy school, or better yet, I would just win the Mega Millions. Stressing and studying like crazy, and the reason why I haven't been able to keep up with this english paper or my marketing class.

Limitless

This movie starts out with a little humor on how he looks like a writer because he is a mess. Then something amazing happens to the main character. Then it could all backfire or turn ugly if he doesn't solve a problem. He solves the problem just like all movies.

day 14

I decided to take on architecture instead of an actual artwork because I almost became an architect instead of a pharmacist. So I decided to use a building which is seen by most people in America, Mcdonalds. Not just any Mcdonalds, but the new one. Their new building designs around the "McCafe" is truly genius. It all started back in 2008 when the economy was in complete disarray, and everyone, including fast food, was trying to cut costs. Even though the economy was tanking, the major fast food industries including Mcdonalds, were still profiting because of the low prices on food for the people who were out of jobs or pay decreased. Mcdonalds decided to take this opportunity of new customers to suck them in when this recession was over and beat all the other competing fast food burger joints. So they took the old look, and decided to make a more modern, relaxing look, the McCafe. In this picture I took from my car, there are a lot of new modern-like feels that resonate from the building.
Let's start from the top of the building. The giant Arches has turned into a long single arch with the name in a bold white, instead of an obnoxious yellow. This single arch actually stimulates a calmness because there is no sudden peak but a steady climb. Next the stone walls and pillars. Lots of houses and modern buildings are including stone surfaces or looks and pulling away from wood or composite. It's strange, almost as if we decided we like the feel of living in a cave again. Next we have the beach tent roofs which are much more different than the previous plastic or metal roof extension from the building.
So this building's goal is to lure people to come relax with friends and have a meal or come do some online work with some food and free Wi-fi. What's crazy, is that it works. People don't associate Mcdonalds McCafe style buildings with fast-food as often, or have preferred it over other fast food restaurants because of the more luxury feel it gives off. Beach style tents, with stone pillars and iron gates looks much better than plastic roofing with metal chairs. Just like how nicer houses sell better, nicer buildings sell dollar burgers better too.

interviews

Two questions to ask in my paper, or interviews...

Why do you have to have this certain brand, rather this brand, which is the exact same but cheaper?

Overall, are you happy with your life, do you feel overwhelmed with your "stuff?"

digital

http://www.spaceark.net/

The first main problem is the background because it forces the designer to used outrageously bright colors because the background is a space background. There is also 20 different font sizes and styles with different Word Arts and everything. It also has this stupid paragraph shaped into a diamond.

This website knows how to advertise obviously because it is a major car company with a well known car, the Chevy Camaro. This web design has a plain easy feeling background that lets the chevy red, ZL1 stand out. The font used is soft kind of font, with edges smoothed out and the use of gray, an indecisive color. This doesn't turn people away like a bright pink or solid green could do. Furthermore, this is my favorite american car of all time so I will love this web design in any shape or form.

choosing words and pictures

I have never heard of Adbusters, but then again, I don't really read magazines. Only magazines I do read are TIME and Rolling Stones. This magazine I saw in Barnes and Noble though made me curious of what they would say about Barack Obama's "The only question that haunts the President" and serious face which was right above a revolutionist's giant face and to the right of Katy Perry's "sex, God, and cupcakes." As I flipped through the pages to find the article I could tell this magazine was fear bringing magazine. Containing articles on how America is messing up or has messed up, revolutions and so on. I reached it the article. After reading it they tried to give off an image of soulless killer, or assassin, by starting the article off by describing Obama's "military doctrine...shift away from the 'hammer' toward the 'scalpel.' " The choice of words really does make a difference. For example, they described what a drone's bombing does by writing "Often civilian deaths are impossible to tabulate, as drone bombs rip bodies literally to shreds, leaving nothing to count. "it's not moral,."" Then later it brought up that America could soon be the target of drones and ended off with "Will American civilians soon know what it means to be called collateral damage?" I thought I was reading a Glenn beck article. The logic they use isn't real. They try to argue that sending our forces in, which will still cause civilian casualties as well as U.S casualties, is better than using UAVs. I would much rather be a scalpel where we don't lose U.S troops rather be a hammer and lose our soldiers.
