Typography

I have a typography assignment. What are your thoughts on these? Specifically in terms of: which letters are larger than others, letters beside each other, patterns, and colour.

      

Ok, based on input not through comments...

110. Do you still talk to your first crush?
Nope.

It's the little things / That convince me to stay / It's your fingertips / And the music they play

- First Defeat, Noah Gundersen

"Self Portrait"

This is a "self-portrait" (kind of) assignment that I have to do. I've organized the pictures by theme horizontally and by colour vertically. I wasn't sure if the colour sorting was too weighted? As in, the the right column is too bland/neutral? Should I skip the colour organization?

No Angels

Ok and what about this one?

I tried to make the words look like an equal sign...is it too subtle?

104. What are you 5 favourite songs right now?

(Funny this question should be asked now because I am obsessed with "No Angels" right now).

1. No Angels, mix of TLC's "No Scrubs" and The xx's "Angels", Bastille feat. Ella
2. All of Me, John Legend
3. Let It Go, Idina Menzel
4. Same Love, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis feat. Mary Lambert
5. Gravity, Sara Bareilles

And I will stumble and fall / I'm still learning love / Just starting to crawl

- Say Something, A Great Big World feat. Christina Aguilera 

Ok, forget that garbage image. What about this?

And So It Begins Again

What message do you get out of this?

(asap please :3 )

102. Who was the last person you had a deep conversation with?
Mom and Dad.

103. What does the most recent text that you sent say?
"Excellent" (in regards to my mom's baking)

So in a rhyme I wrote you down / Now you'll live through the ages / I can feel your pulse in the pages

...

I have written you down / Now you will live forever / And all the world will read you / And you will live forever / In eyes not yet created / On tongues that are not born

- Poet, Bastille

Dumb Left Hands?

Question Backstory: A majority of the world is right-handed (70-90% according to Wikipedia).  We do a majority of our tasks with our right hand and the left hand is noticeably less able. Some countries drive on the left hand side of the road, while others drive on the right (such as ourselves).  We use our right hand to change gears in standard vehicles. In places where people drive on the left hand side of the road (or, have right seated drivers), they switch gears with their left hand. This leads me to...
Question: Speaking about right handed people, would drivers in countries where they drive on the left hand side of the road have more-able left hands (because they use their left hands to switch gears) than those of us who drive on the right hand side (and switch gears with our right)?
Just a thought that's been on my mind...

In other Heather news, I had my FCC interview today. It went well. And I don't want to assume or get my hopes up, but if (when) they hire me, it's totally going to be for FSM (food service manager). Just sayin'.

Also, I love it when I find new Bastille music. Because I swear they are purposely not putting half their stuff on iTunes just to spite me. Makes it more exciting for me though I guess, because I get new music even when they aren't actually releasing anything. They won a Brit award, congrats to them!

99. Do you think you'll be in a relationship two months from now?
I might be, I might not be.

100. (Wow! 100 questions already!) Who from the opposite gender is on your mind?
Well, Josh keeps bringing himself up because he's been texting me. About the weather. We're not even in the same city! (And for a while, we weren't even in the same hemisphere! Well, close to it at least)

Apps this good, whose got time to make friends?

- A Wake, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis feat. Evan Roman

Ad

The assignment is we have to take an advertisement and alter it somehow, change its meaning.
Here's the original:

And here's what I've done:

Do you think the extra text at the bottom is too much? Or like it doesn't flow? "Taste it all. All the chemicals."

I got a lot done today. Well, not any more so than other days, but I got it done a lot faster. So this evening has been more relaxed, which is nice. But I still have studying to do. I've finished rereading all the chapters and making notes. Now I have to actually make sure I know it. -_-

94. Are you outgoing or shy?
Shy, but I've become less so over the past year or so.

There are fights for being my best friend

 - The Love Club, Lorde

Here We Go Again

Ok, I think this one is a lot better:

Specifically, what do you think of the shadows of the leaves on the sundial? Do you think they're too "perfect"?

More Art (sigh)

Ok, what about this one with the sundial? I'm not really good at this whole photoshop stuff (how ironic). So, if any of you have tips on how to make it look less photoshoped, lemme know. Or other tips on composition and such. Let me hear it. Be a critic.

More Art Opinions!

Ok, totally different assignment from typography.
I'm going for a minimalist look. Do you think I should add sand, or leave it as it is?

(hopefully you got this, but it's an hourglass)

And how bad is this?

Just Wondering...

When you guys leave a comment, I get an email letting me know. But if I reply to your comment, do you guys get an email telling you so? Cause I usually reply to your comments...but I don't know if you even see them...

77. Ever been in love?
No :(

Sherlock: Favourite season.
Well, it's not like I have a lot to choose from :$ I'm going to say season three, because that was the one I was most excited about while waiting, and I love the cliffhanger they left us with. AND THE CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT WAS BEAUTIFUL.

Question

What's the movie where the main character convinces this banker dude to invest a lot of money in a particular stock, knowing that the stock was going to fall and therefore result in the collapse of the banker? This wasn't the main plot line, the main character was trying to ruin a lot of people's lives...I think. If you know what movie I'm talking about, lemme know.

Also, I'm slightly disappointed that being my favourite person for a solid 24hrs was not enough to convince you to send me mail :(

75. Do you study better with or without music?
I wish I could study with music. But I find that I'm distracted by the lyrics. If the song doesn't have any lyrics in it, then I'm fine.

Ok, pick your fave:

1.

 2.

 3.

 4.

5.

Or if there's something you like in one, and something in another, let me know. 

Ok I know that two of you looked at my collage and then didn't comment, and I'm hurt. But don't go back and comment on that one, cause I've made changes.
Seriously guys, I don't know what this looks like to other people. Lend a girl a hand.

Collage

I need your help with one of my assignments. I have to make a digital collage. I'm trying to make it say something, but it's one of those things where, since I know what it is, I see that. So I need your unknowing eyes to tell me what you see in this:

Fluoride (QOTD #61)

Is fluoride in the water the reason that tap water tastes different from filtered/bottled/fresh/natural water?

Also, I watched Sherlock, but more about that later when I've had time to absorb what I've seen.

61. Wear a bathrobe?
Nope. But if I had a nice one, maybe like Sherlock's, I would.

(I was shocked at how hard it was to find a good picture of hie bathrobe. I tried looking for a gif, so you could get an even better idea, but that didn't work out either...)
