Ass. 1
Making Your Blog
-     You need a gmail address
-     this gives you a google account
-     also an advantage in a few other ways
Then, you start in on blogger
Make an address that makes sense – complex not always good
Your profile (Ass.1a)
Ass. 2
Make a movie poster of your life.
Movie Poster Structure
-     one thing we notice is that many have the big head or two on them
-     why?
-     Stars are selling tickets
-     Main character might grab attention (super hot), giving me info about the picture, still selling tickets
-     Dominant image or element – some image or symbol may take up the space on the poster


-     There’s a job they have to do –
-     1. Sell the tickets
-     2. Give the form or genre 
-     3. Create a feeling in the viewer
-     4. Grab the attention of the passerby
-     5. Compete with other posters
-     6. Give something you take away
-     7. Satisfy the composition and art design rules
-     8. Be clever or interesting or original
-     9. Give specific info – names, titles, maybe company, etc
Some movie posters use something called a “tag line” – a catch phrase eg No Humans Allowed from District 9
