Homework #1

When creating things like company logos or advertisements it is important to choose something that is simple and eye-catching while at the same time not being too distracting. When a company launches a logo the original design is usually the best one because it fits all of those criteria. When the company tries to change the design hoping to get people talking about the company, sometimes it doesn’t go as planned.

It isn't a bad thing to look up to them as examples or role models, but it's unfortunate that children and teens are not getting an accurate picture of what it is like to be them. You look in a magazine or even watch a movie and think "wow, they are so beautiful", without knowing that that look probably took hours to perfect. By the time we see a picture in a magazine that isn't even our favorite celebrities anymore, it's only what they want us to see. Those photos have been altered countless times to make the final picture something that people will look at and adore. It's sad that this is what children are growing up to and comparing themselves to now b...
