The reporter did a good job of stating the “who” “what” “where” “when” and “why” in the first sentence. Without having to have any background knowledge, I knew within the first sentence that it was talking about Ezekiel Elliott's suspension for his domestic violence act.

I think the reporter could have added a little more detail about how many games he was originally suspended for and expand a little on the domestic violence act. Who was it? A child or a woman? We don’t know from this article. We are able to figure this out by reading different articles, but I think the article would be better if we had an idea of who it was, especially if we haven’t heard about this case.

I will take from the article that I should get to the point fast, answering the five W’s right of the bat so that the reader knows what I’m talking about. I will also be sure to add extra detail to the story if it is needed to help the reader better understand the paragraph. Click the link below to read the full article.

My Personal Logo

A few weeks ago in e9 we had to design a personal logo that described us. We learned about what different colors and shapes mean in a logo and how it can affect the look of the design.

I choose to enclose it all in a circle because it is known as the perfect shape. It is like pure perfection.

Hammer Project In this project I learned how use the polygonal transformation manipulator tool, how to extrude, and how to subdivide polygon faces. I was able to learn this project by watching our teacher do a quick explanation/ tutorial and by reading the directions typed on google classroom. I picked this project because I spent a lot of time on the hammer's head and this project turned out better than I thought it would, especially the shadows. My greatest strength during this project was patience because when I was extruding, my hammer was not doing what I wanted it to do. My weakness during this project was would be not making the green take up more of the picture, because there is too much black. I have improved because I have the right shadows. I will take my learning of the manipulator tool and extrude tool to my next projects. I would change the background so there would not be so much black. This project helped me prepare for other projects by practicing the manipula...

What is Graphic Design to me? To me graphic design is visual communication to the world. It is also a way to communicate to people without having to talk to them. I think graphic design is unique because you can make it anyway you want. It can be bold or quite, loud and annoying, pink, green, circle shaped or triangle shaped. There are no rules in graphic design so you can make it your own and let your imagination do the work. You get to make it your own, however you want it. http://www.aiga.org/what-is-design/
