FINAL PROJECT IPOD NANO

Below is the ad I decided to recreate.





Here is the final project. The recreation of Ipod Nano. My Masterpiece!!!!





On creating this project, it was very interesting. I created rectangular boxes to form the shape of an ipod. Then, i created cirles by using the Ellipse tool.Next, i drew buttons on the ipods with the pencil tool. i added color to the recatangles and also, I used the pen tool to give the ad a dripping effect.

Wikipedia Update

Its been about a weeek since I did edited the wikipedia article on "How to run the 400" and after a week, everything was erased.

Project update 2

I am almost done with my ad. I'm just having one problem, trying to use the paint brush. For some reason, it is not coming out on the screen. If you can guide me on using it in class on monday, I would appreciate it. Thats the only thing. thanks

wikipedia assignment


The wikipedia research I decided to revise was the 400 meters. This is a track race that involves many techniques. The 400 Meters is the most common race in outdoor track and I was surprised not to see any techniques on how to run the race. So from my own experiences and gathered information, I edited the page by adding information on how to run the 400 meters (as shown Below).

How to run the 400 meter dash requires numerous techniques. First, when coming out of the blocks you want to be explosive as possible because a good start gives you an advantage over your opponents. You want to be at your top speed 50 meters in your race, then be relax. This technique will save you enough energy for the finish. After 50 meters, you want to be relaxed, keep long strides, pump your arms, and breathe slowly. When heading into the last 100 meters( the straight a way), you want to give it all you have. Pump your arms and run on yours toes for a better sprint. Keep high knees and a straight posture. It is important to keep a good form during this part of the race. Many runners lose numerous of races because they couldn't finish. Although the 400 meter dash is a sprinting race, it requires significant amount of lung capacity, endurance, speed, and strength.

midterm part 1


Trying to appeal the audience is a very difficult task. However, Prosthetics are controlled by the muscles in your legs. But scientists are working on a prototype that could potentially revolutionize the way amputees walk, run, and perform as athletes today. What if something was invented to make life easier, be able to think for you, or give you answers without using your own brain? Wouldn’t that be cool? There are many products that are being made to make the lives we live, easier. Huge advances have been made in recent decades in terms of the mobility offered by prosthetic joints. Power Prosthetics is an experiment involving numerous people around the world. With this incredible experiment, it becomes appealing to the audiences eyes and makes the market become achievable. The capacity to replace lost muscle function is literally lifting amputees to a higher level.
As technology continues to advance, the right combination of electro-mechanical actuators with efficient power sources will allow individuals to complete a full day of activity using prosthetics. Ultra-thin, ultra-strong and ultra-tough - these are the attributes that characterize the battery technology used in the first generation of power prosthetics and, as development continues, the battery life can only get longer and the charge time shorter. Also, improvements in overall system efficiency will make an increasing contribution to worry-free, active lives in the future.
The first technique will be “Cool Hunting” because it is important for marketers to make observations and predictions in changes of new and existing cultural trends. By using this technique, marketers will be able to know what people are using to help there disability. For example, athletes missing a leg will be able to use these prosthetics. This goes for track runners, basketball players, or even a football player. Cool hunting will take some time, but at the end it will be worth the time waited.
The second technique that could be used by advertisers to market prosthetics is through product placement across media, such as movies, televisions, and current events. Since these are some of the most popular things in the world today, this will be a significant approach in helping prosthetics become successful. I think by advertising this product in billboards, bus ads, and medical centers, it can help those with loss of muscle which need prosthetics, to be aware of what is going on in the marketing world.
The third and final technique will be narrow casting. This includes cable TV or satellite devices. This action can transport messages such as ads, to televisions. For example, if a person in need of a prosthetic is watching TV, the person will see the commercial and most likely be interested in the product. Many people around the world watch television and listen to the radio. Most of all, this can be a very strong technique to appeal to the audience eye.Take a moment to imagine where this technology can take us. Future developments on this platform will help meet the medical requirements of individuals worldwide who are relying on prosthetic and orthopedic care, helping them to achieve a life without limitations.
