1) I chose the highest contrast fonts. The title was the big artistic font and the other one was the medium professional font.
2) The most important thing is "a novel about flight." This informs the reader on what the book is about and if they are interested enough to open in.
3) Limitation are white space. White space needs to be on the page so the view's eyes go from one thing to the next.

Alignment: Response
1) Because when the word "murmuring" first comes into view it is not straight but the word insect is. The word insect is strong making the view who is interested in insects more attracted to the ad and causes them to what more information.
2) My browser is not changing scenes.

Organization: Response
1) I'd start with the fist, saying it means war. Then I'd choose the guy smoking because he's young and would be drafted. After that I'd choose the bar code on the bottom of the foot, signalling how he has the devil in hidden places of this life. Then I'd go with middle picture because of all the trash in his life. Then the angle for death.
2) Yes, there are many arguments.
3) Yes, I could play a sad song that will make everything think of our troops.

Contrast: Response
The speaker is so distracting. It contrasts too much. The text emphasis is nice because it gives your eye something to follow. The visuals in the movie are not very simulating and the voice of the speaker is horrible. The colors that are in the worlds are also in the background. the textbox is lighter than the words so it does create contrast between the too, but they still fit into the movie and belong.
2) The contrast with just a black ground helps the view not think about the cartoon and the story but gets them to focus back on themselves and the real world. The black background removes the cartoon story and makes the idea real.
3) My flier would have the huge sack of money image on it. I'd go into detail with words about what JUMP is and what it can do for you. The huge sack of money would draw people in and then the words would get the point across.

Emphasis: Respond
1) The view's attention is draw to the text because it is then only thing that is not busy. The background is full of stuff, different shapes and colors. The back text on the solid page make it pop out in the middle of the chaos. The text is somewhat effective, I did not realize this movie was a title page. I would have liked to see the title bigger and maybe a few frames of it with the words wiggling or animated slightly. The title came and went just too fast.
2) The pause give the viewer a second to see the words. What the artist had drawn emphasized a certain word and the pause aloud the view to see what that emphasized word was. The pause kinda throws off the flow of the movie. Yes, it made the viewer focus on what was emphasized but, it could have been done a little better.
3) The music is all stop and go loops. There is no length to the notes, just like there is no length to the frames. Both the visual and audio have the same rhythmic sense. As far as emotions, its not super dark and not super happy. I really didn't feel much emotion at all from it mostly because there was no build. It was the same few second loop for only 14 seconds.

Week 2 Reading Response
I agree and disagree with the comic. The large amount of traffic on the website is current students and faculty. The other part of the traffic is students who are figuring out which college to enroll in. For the first group the right side of the comic makes sense, that is definitely the information the University wants to be displaying for its currently students. The left side is where all the money is. The University must be attractive potential students especially in today's culture! With internet access today, you can bet that every person who is picking a college will check out that Universities website, collect some information and compare it to other Universities. After that lengthy process, then the student will visit the campus.
The Art Institute of Portland's website is geared very much to the left side of the graphic. First rather than having navigation or quick links on the left side, the author puts sigh up for more new student information. Upon staying on the home page for a few seconds a scripted window appears asking you to live chat with someone from the school or sign up for more information.
The visuals of AI Portland's website clearing focus your eyes on the different topics you can study at the institute. The viewer's eye goes straight for the the sideshow of students and their works. The home page of this University is not at all geared towards current students or factually members. It is for new student. It is about where the money is.

Week 1 Reading Response
The linguistics of the White House response are very thought out. They chose to use information sentences with a lot of information, no bloat. I think it is interesting that they included "prayers" considering all the ridiculous religious things people complain about. Apparently people still like hearing they are being prayed for when things get rough. Also, I leaves the listener without a doubt that the USA is doing every possible to help Japan.
The visuals are the two Twitter pages are different, yet the give me the same feel. Figure 1.3 has more contrast, but the colors do not look professional and neither does the profile picture. Figure 1.4 has a smoother color, but again, with the profile picture, both Twitter accounts look like they are for personal use.
For the video, I actually had to stop watching and just listen because the visuals are so strong and I am incredibly visual. It sounds a little magical in the beginning. The drumbeat keeps the same tone through the whole video and keeps you listening and keeps things flowing. The magical affects do not seem as professional as what the person is talking about and take away a little of the credit.
The space of our university's homepage is not meant for the student or faculty member it is meant for the person who is look at the school for the first time to see if they want to attend. The news articles on the front page flip through every few second, anyone who comes to the site to read an article is not going to sit there and wait for the site to flip through. They want a list or grid of articles they can quickly scan through, find what they want and be on their way.
The President folds his hands when he is not flipping pages of his notes. This makes him look calm and thought out and without aggression. This is vital because he is talking about war and terrorist in another country. If he were to throw his hands in the air and point and shout, the viewer would not, it's all out war and they other country has it coming.
