Titles For The Groups

Here are the group titles. We will incorporate them into the book and see how they look. What do you think?

Idea For Spicing Up Titles

I saw this picture and thought this might be a really great idea to incorporate into our book and use them as our titles. We could make them look like pins. I could through them together super fast on photoshop and it would give it more color and spice.

WHAT DO YOU THINK?

"Government" ROUGH DRAFT Comic

Don't forget to get your pictures uploaded to dropbox today. :)

Here is a SUPER ROUGH DRAFT for the comic at the end of "Government" chapter. We will have the two comic characters on the couch and one looking through the binoculars and the other on a cell phone.

If you have any suggestions or photos you want to include, let me know! It will be much better than this, but I'm just getting it together.

This week I lost my computer, due to an accident. :( Sorry everything is running a little slow on my part. I forgot what it is like without a computer. We really do depend on technology so much but take it all for granted. It is so useful and makes our lives more complicated in some ways but makes things easier in others.

Our New Graphics Idea

Our new idea!

So Marissa and I have decided upon a new idea. She came up with it really but I think it will work great with the ebook and any type of presentations we use.

We will be using a comic figure throughout the whole book and at the end of each chapter we will place that comic figure in a setting (according to topic) and have images, drawings of things that relate to the chapter material that will help get your points across. This will add spice and variety to each chapter and it will also give it something to tie the material together.

I know if might seem super hard to understand but I am currently working on one for government and as soon as I have some of it smooched together, I will post it.

I just spend hours going through government's material and finding pictures that would relate and get the point across. I think I have almost all the pictures, now I just need to use my photoshop skills and create the full image.

ARTS and MUSIC Graphics Preview

 Graphics: Here are some images that I have found so far for your working content. I have been trying to make good connections with your material and the images. Let me know what you think.

 Digital music and how it has changed

Arts and music is what connects us

 Out with the old, on with the new

Without using the arts and music in education, is it depriving children from using and developing their creative brains?

Does it affect the learning of our children?
Does it connect them with
the world around them?

Memes

Memes are the new thing on the web. You can't go to any social media sight and not find a meme. They capture your attention, and most are insightful or just down right funny. Did you know that BYU even has their own meme facebook page? Anyone can post to it and add more memes.

A meme is a concept that spreads fast via the internet, VIRAL! It spreads through cultures or imitation of. An internet meme is usually a picture taken and a caption written over it. It can be humorous, educational, intellectual (makes you think) etc... There are no limits.

Memes have been the new craze at universities across the world.Memes usually reference things such as crazy classes, culture within the campus, drinking, parking etc. Even our very own BYU has a FB page made exclusively for memes. BYU memes

Furthermore with increase in and for memes, I recently checked on Google insights to see how memes have risen in popularity in the last few months and you would be amazed at its growth just since February. Google Insights  

Memes have the ability to shift peoples mindsets, give new ideas and most of all they create a snowball affect. Most memes have many others that go along with it. Whether its controversial to the concept or adds to the point, they make others think and gets the viewer creating their own. It's contagious!


SO to get to the NITTY GRITTY!

Dr. Burton and Dr. Zappala have asked that each group make their meme. It can be one image with a phrase or several images, it is up to you.

This will help you cement your ideas and get you going on what your real focus is. As always the graphics team, Marissa and Becca are always willing and able to help. If you need a few ideas or just some advice, please don't hesitate to ask.

Here are some ideas below and more to come.
