Assignment #20: Typography Practice- Top 40 Songs From Your Birth Year

DREAM LOVER

Mariah Carey/Dave Hall

I need a lover to give me


The kind of love

That will last always

I need somebody uplifting

To take me away



I want a lover who knows me

Who understands how I feel inside

Someone to comfort and hold me

Through the long lonely nights

Till the dawn

Why don't you take me away



Dream lover come rescue me

Take me up take me down

Take me anywhere you want to baby now

I need you so desperately

Won't you please come around

Cause I wanna share forever with you baby



I don't want another pretender

To disillusion me one more time

Whispering words of forever

Playing with my mind



I need someone to hold on to

The kind of love that won't fly away

I just want someone to belong to

Everyday

Of my life

Always

So come and take me away



Dream lover come rescue me

Take me up take me down

Take me anywhere you want to baby now

I need you so desperately

Won't you please come around

Cause I wanna share forever with you baby

Assignment #19: Typography Photoshop Portrait

Assignment #18: Typography Practice Portrait

Typography is using art in a technique of the image being created with words.

The portrait captures my eye as the hair is very realistic and it is just a couple of letters being used. The black background really makes her eyes and lips stand out. The eyes show a feeling in the persons emotions. The Faces shadows are being well used as some places look darker.

 The purple/pink lips and glasses really stand out as they are the only live colors out there. Also the the makeup around the eye looks good and it's well blended in the words. The different kinds of browns in her face make her face have texture in it. Lastly her eyes stand out as the whole background is black and just her face shows.

 The two color use looks great as a lot of shadows are being used. The Light and dark colors make certain things stand out. Also the flower goes great with it as it also has writing and letter in it. The hair in the face also combines with the shadows on the face.

          Through all of my accomplishments I came to the conclusion that my house is the one memorable thing I have in Hayward. Other then that Hayward is just another city in the whole world. Its a place where I always can be at. It's a place where I can spend it with my family. It's our very own shelter we all living in. 

          My house is a place where I have been at the whole time I have lived out here in Hayward. We have remodeled that house to our own comfort. Even though it is not all ours yet we all basically adapted to it like if it was really all ours. We all just have a special place we come to everyday and it is a place I call home. My home is a comfort living where I have basically grown up in since I was two years old. It's the first place I miss when i'm out of town.     

         This house is a place where all the friends and family gather on special occasions and events. We all use the minimum excuse to just make a barbecue and or a simple kick back with all the family and friends. When the whole family reunites I get a great feeling knowing that we all get along amongst each others. My family is the closest thing I have to me. We all just have a good time together laughing and smiling and sharing stuff amongst each other.

        Even though I can't take the house with me I will always have in mind all the beautiful memories I have gone through in that place I call home. When I get my own place I am going to make sure I make it as special as this one, but I sure won't ever forget this place. There is too many memories in that house that when I move out I am sure going to miss it. This is a place I will always keep in mind, a place that reminds me of Hayward, a place I call home.

Semester Reflection

Congratulations! You've made it halfway through the semester and in five months you'll be graduating high school!!! For the following entry, I'd like you to reflect on the semester, with each reflection being a minimum of 5 sentences.

1) Reflect on your final grade in this class. What will you do to either keep the grade you received or how will you genuinely work to improve your grade in this class? (minimum of 5 sentence reflection).

My final grade in this class was an A. To keep this grade through the next semester I would have to keep on working hard. I will do all my work that is assigned and turn it in on time. I will keep up to date with my teacher on the day I am absent. Overall I will try my hardest to keep my A until the day I walk the stage.

2) What was your favorite project this past semester and why? What was your least favorite project and why?(minimum of 5 sentence reflection).

My favorite project was the "iPod" silhouette. It was a good and fun activity as we got the opportunity to wear our project. The least project I liked was the documentary film on the 99% protest. I didn't like it because it was kind of confusing at first and not all our group would collaborate.

3) How has your senior year been so far? Are you working towards your goals of graduating? If yes, what are you doing to making sure you stay on track? If no, what has been stopping you from reaching the goal of graduating?(minimum of 5 sentence reflection).
My senior year has been stressing, too many things have been coming up at once that I have to make a decision on. Yes, I am working as hard as I can to keep up with all my work and trying to redo the classes I have to so not only I can graduate but so I can be A-G for college. 

4) What are you looking forward to most about graduating high school? (minimum of 5 sentence reflection).

I am looking forward to looking at all my hard work being payed off. I am also looking forward to starting college. This is all for the better of my future. I am also looking forward to making my parents proud and giving my sisters an example and giving my brother a push so he can strive for more.
