Being a Graphic Designer!!!

Being a Graphic Designer is an original and creative experience you have the chance to develop thousands of different ideas and all you need to do is using you imagination anytime you want!!! That’s right! All graphic designer’s ideas worth money because they could be becoming into a successful advertising campaign, also the population expects new things, so these professionals can experiment with all kind of materials, messages and mediums. The originality is other gift graphic designers have to get to develop our own trademarks, which means a specific way to do our job so people can know the worker trough his/her work, also everybody identifies a unique designing style and it is easy to remember.

Graphic Designer mixes up the antique arts with the coolest technology. We may use our hands to create money because we can develop a new campaign with draws, painting, pictures, photos, etc… it’s an artistic talent used in a complete new way. Graphic designers also can use all the resources they imagine no matters how crazy they are, but right now the technology is indispensable for us so the Computers are become in the graphic designer’s best friend, these machines are used almost for everything since simple logos designs until complete website and advertising presentations. Today there’s MAC craziness, Macintosh inc. had developed computer with special designing functions and with more options than a regular pc, that’s why Graphic designers really love this kind of computer and spend more money to have one of these.

The Graphic Designers have a power we can become a single product into a bunch of money! For that we have to develop a successful campaign and the first step should be to know the “target” that means meet who is going to buy the product or the population, where they buy the product or special needs for a specific region or city and why they buy the product or why the product is a need. Advertisings are the second step, we must show the product in different mediums like TV and web. One of these ways is the P.O.P. material witch is a kind of present you give to the costumer or buyer like t-shirts, cups, key rings, etc. Furthermore there’re the TV commercials witch help us to show how the product looks like and make the target think they really need to have it an in addition there’ re the web advertisings like banners, pops up, pops under, buttons, etc; witch show the product or service around the worlds.

Plastic Surgery

Plastic Surgery_ advantages and disadvantages!!!
Plastic Surgery has advantages and disadvantages. One advantage is that it is utilized in reconstructive surgery. It helps to remove scarves caused by accidents and to correct some kind of birth physical problems. Another advantage about cosmetic surgery is that you can change what you don’t like about your body. You can make smaller or bigger any part of your body in a permanent way. One disadvantage of Plastic Surgery is the Unnecessary risk. The cosmetic surgery has more risks than a regular surgery because some patient reject the implants which cause them dangerous infections. In addiction there’s the Plastic Surgery addiction possibly because of body dysmorphic disorder these days there’s a lot of people who don’t care any of the risks and have implants, liposuctions or lift tick constantly becoming themselves in living plastic dolls.

PARAGRAPH

Topic: What about looking for a job as a Graphic Designer?

(TS) Looking for a graphic designer job is interesting and really hard too! (D1) When you are a graphic designer and you’re looking for a job you have to be interested about learning new things every single day, because this is a career witch work with a lot of different areas and you must design ads for products in different markets. (D2) Furthermore you have to be a flexible and easy going person to adapt yourself to different schedules. (D3) Besides a graphic designer have to agree with being a lot of hours working with a computer and know everything about design’s softwares and web pages. (CS) It’s not easy find a job if you are a graphic designer, you should be original and work really hard to get the position you deserve.

Korea Video!!!


After we watched a Korean video we had to write about it and make a different ending for the video, because it was a kind of romantic tragedy so we can use our imagination and create a totally new ending.

ABOUT THE KOREAN VIDEO

It’s a really touching video it tells a love story with a tragic ending.

It’s about a woman and a man who met in the street… he was a photographer and she was a hairdresser, they started to go out and have fun together and then they fell in love.

One day she had a terrible accident and she got blind so he felt terrible and decided to sacrifice for her so he gave his eyes to her.

After a surgery she recovers the sight but they didn’t stay together again.

So it is a really beautiful story with a touching ending which show how strong and sharing the love can be.

My own ending:

I’d prefer that she had got the eyes from other person (maybe a dead body), so he hadn’t felt guilty and they had been happy together for ever.

TV Commercial


UNIT II
To write a paragraph about a TV commercial we really like!!!!!!!!!!!!

DESCRIBE A COMMERCIAL THAT YOU ENJOY WATCHING...
(TS) I really like the new Budweiser beer TV commercial… it is my favorite right now! (D1) It describes a football fan situation: At the beginning all the fans are sitting waiting for the game but suddenly they start to create images with a bunch of squares. (D2) These images are a Budweiser beer bottle and a glass and the beer start to fill the glass. (D3) Then you can heard a sound like if someone would be drinking the beer and the entire crowd express a satisfaction sound (it tries to convince people the product is good). (CS) As a result we can enjoy an original TV commercial which try to sell a product in a really funny way.


(TS) Topic sentence
(D1) Detail 1
(D2) Detail 2
(D3) Detail 3
(CS) Concluding sentence
