Memes - the visual language of the web
Safari

It looks to be someone by the name of Faye Walker, this meme was
posted on a Person of Interest Pinterest page. Person of Interest is my
favorite show so, I wanted to find a meme involving it.
I chose this meme because I’ve seen the Liam Neeson one as a
stand-alone before and liked that Mr. Reese from POI was on it. I
thought it was kind of funny because both characters each actor portrays
is very similar in a way. They both have special skills and are very
talented at said skills. The top part is used in many memes ranging from
someone have their car parked crooked to steeling someone’s forks. It’s
an extreme meme, but funny in the right context.

I chose these words because, it's not uncommon for me to spend a lot of money when I go to the apple store. They're expensive so, just buying a iPhone case and wireless
keyboard can be over $100.
Infographics

I think this infograph does a pretty good job at it's goal, which is to
show you what Steve Jobs had either influenced, invented or perfected.
It hits all the major key points in Apple/Steve Jobs history from the
beginning of Apple Inc. Some things that could be done to improve it
would be to add more products for example, they missed the Apple TV,
MacBook Air, iPhone 4(first retina display device), Airport(wifi) among
other important things that Apple/Steve Jobs contributed. More details
would've been better in my opinion, it only reaches the audience that
isn't as technical as I am or knowledgeable of Apple/Steve Jobs history.
I'd have to say the target audience of this information would have to
be the every person who may not know exactly what Apple has released in
the time Steve Jobs was CEO.

GIFS

I chose this gif because it represents how most people feel when they
win an award, get good news or are just having a good night. The gif
features Taylor Swift reacting to winning an award at the Billboard
awards. She is just so excited that she won, she is just like "what
even?!" and has a "speechless" moment. I think we can all relate to this
moments where we're just so excited about something we just react like
this.

TYPOGRAPHY

The logo I chose is the UM-Dearborn specific block M as I feel it
perfectly represents what UM-Dearborn has to offer. We are part of the
great University of Michigan which is known around the world but, it
also represents the uniqueness that the Dearborn campus has to offer. I
personally love the "community college" feel of UMD with the small
classes sizes and relatively small campus. I also like how each campus
uses the same color scheme but, in it's own unique way so that you can
tell the difference between the Ann Arbor M, Flint M and our own
Dearborn M. Just add CAS&L underneath it and maybe some focus areas
within CAS&L and boom, perfect!

Gimp software, skills and webtools you used in class
Gimp, what can I say about gimp besides that it's so frustrating and would always crash my powerful computer. It was nice and easy to use the software though to make my gif, which I'm happy about cause I've always wanted to know how to make those. I'd for sure find another program though for futures gifs. For my most valued project in the class, the bottom third, I used Adobe Photoshop and played with some of my existing knowledge and dug into some of the 3D rendering processes the program is capable of. I spent hours just getting the polygon positioned perfectly. I didn't really know what to expect when I signed up for this class but, I'm glad I did because I learned some things, got to brush up on some old knowledge and had a genuine time doing so. Enjoying the decision for JASS as one of my areas of focus.
