Are Reporters Crossing the Line?

It seems that as soon as an incident happens, reporters instantly swoop in for an interview. Just recently, a shooting happened at a community college in Roseburg, Oregon. Almost instantly, people began to tweet about it, leading reporters to ask those people for interviews. by doing this, the reporters sparked heated feedback and criticism. Some said “Absolute human vultures”, while others said “Sickening”.

The Author was trying to convey how media is labeling Reporters as vultures. The author provides an example of this happening. ‘The exchange started when a young woman who goes by the Twitter handle @KP_Kayla Marie began live tweeting… Kayla Marie was soon swamped by requests for interviews. “Can you DM [direct message] when you find shelter,” tweeted NBC’s Emmanuelle Saliba to Kayla’s account (the tweet has been deleted). “I’m a reporter for NBC News.”’ The author does a great job wording his points, but he didn’t provide a solution to solve the problem. He just kind of stated the facts. I think the author was generally trying to convey the idea that reporters are being called vultures needlessly.

This evidence definitely showed what the author was trying to say. I understood what the main points were, and I agree with what the author was saying.

POPtART

We’ve all seen this before. If you haven’t, you’ve been living under a graphic design rock. One of Andy Warhol’s most famous works, his portrait of Marilyn Monroe, is recognizable to anyone, just because of how famous the artist was. Using a publicity shot of Marilyn, Warhol created a few works through a silk screening process. He made the original, Marilyn , and then Marilyn Diptych , symbolizing the iconic woman’s death. In my own little way, I tried to create my own Andy-Warhol-based portraits of Hayley Willams, Gwen Stefani, Cara Delevingne, and Lady Gaga. Following a basic color scheme, I created Pop Art Portraits

What is Graphic Design?!?

What is Graphic Design?!? Graphic Design: Google(the best website in the whole world) puts it simply as the art or skill of combining text and pictures in advertisements, magazines, or books. Most GD conveys an image, a message, a language. However GOOD GD makes peoples lives better!! It’s a language for the living. It can be quirky! Or ugly! Or beautiful! Whatever it needs to be. And most of all, Graphic Design is simply dong what is right, not what the survey s ays. Only Graphic Design is like Graphic Design.
