Anti-BP artwork/ads

All these images are very simple, yet effective.  The first one was very striking to me because of the use of the silhouette. It is one of the most dramatic photos, I ever saw. For those who are not familiar with it. Here is where the idea is from: 

Assignment 2

1. I was looking over the information regarding our assignment and I couldn't find my notes where I jotted down symbolic language.  According to dictionary.com, symbolic language

a specialized language dependent upon the use of symbols for communication and created for the purpose of achieving greater exactitude, as in symbolic logic or mathemathics. 

I googled  symbolc language oil spill and it didn't really give me the information I was looking for. They were mainly blogs from random people with no reference.

2. There are mainly competitors that are against BP.  When I searched BP oil spill bad, it came up with over 2 million results.  The first result was from a USA today article.  Another article is from the NYtimes. It talks about how bad the oil spill really is. There is a youtube video that also goes over the terrible chain of reactions from the oil spill.  

3. Words that are going to create my ideas:

1. earth
2. connection
3. eco system
4. commitment
5. goal
6. companies
7. strive
8. determine
9. nature
10. preserve
11. expense
12. restore
13. continuously
14. clean
15. life

ADVERTISING DESIGN 1 Assignment 1

This is my choice of a good ad.  It draws my attention o the middle of the ad. It clearly states the amount of storage space and the word inferno.  The fire around the hard drive makes it stand out even more.  The rectangle boxes around the hard drive clearly states the speed of the hard drive.  My favorite part of the ad is on the bottom. It states where I can purchase the item.

    This is my example of a bad ad.  I am not sure if this is an    ad for a male or female perfume.  The top caption doesn't really fit for a fragrance.  The ad does draw the viewers ad into the middle but if I saw this in a magazine I would just flip to the next page. 













Article of BP

This article accuse BP of covering up the oil spill.  BP states that oil was flowing at a rate of 5,000 barrels a day. However, scientist states that it could be as high as 70,000 barrels  per day or more.  The article is more like a he said she said type ordeal.
