Podcasting

4 Logos of Philadelphia Sports Teams

Overwatch Logo

Star Wars Logo

   Podcasting is not easy for me because I am very shy, but talking about things I enjoy is a lot easier for me to do when podcasting. I have done three episodes of the Bellmawr Podcast and I have have another one on the way. The first three podcasts were about Philadelphia sports, Overwatch, and Star Wars. The episode that is on the way is about the Philadelphia Eagles underdog story during the 2017-18 NFL playoffs. The first episode of the Bellmawr Podcast was about Philadelphia sports, I spoke about the four professional sports teams in Philadelphia (Philadelphia Flyers, Phillies, Eagles, and 76ers) and their performance in the past few seasons and I also gave my opinion on the future each team has. The second episode of the Bellmawr Podcast was about Overwatch, I gave a brief overview of the game as a whole, I also spoke about how the game can be played for every type of gamer, and I finally spoke about the Overwatch League. In my final podcast that has been released was a video podcast and I spoke about all the Star Wars trilogies that have been released so far and gave my opinions on each of them individually and I also spoke about the Star Wars movies that will be released in the near future including the Han Solo movie, the last movie in the new trilogy, and the Star Wars story coming soon .Bellmawr Podcast Show

Social Media In My Life...

Social media has been a huge part of my life since I was about 13 years old. I was born at a good time because I grew up in a time where children did not get a cell phone at 7 or 8 years old and I had to spend time not using the internet. Smart phones were not a thing except for the Blackberry phones, which only business people had, and my first phone was a flip phone that had the internet on it but you had to pay to use it. I got my first iPhone in 2012 and I have never stopped using the internet after that point. I really do miss the times when I did not have a smart phone and had to do other things than play on the internet all the time.

           

            I use many different social media such as Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, Snapchat, YouTube, and the PlayStation Network. I use some more than others, but I would say these combined take up most of my day after school and work are done. I can sit down and scroll through twitter for about an hour or so watching short random video and catching up on the news and current events. I would say I spend about 5 to 7 hours a day on my PlayStation playing online games or on YouTube watching videos. I always wait till last minute to do all my school work and I would say that is mostly because I waste time on social media.

            I have to thank social media for a lot of things that have happen in the last 6 to7 years. I have made so many friends on Twitter and Facebook that I would have never became friends with in real life. I think that online gaming as a whole has introduced me to the most friends of all and my closest friends. I have spent so many night playing video games with my friends till the sun rises in the morning and sleeping till 1 in the afternoon because of it. My friends that I have met online are my best friends even away from the video games because we have spent so much time talking while playing.

            The couple hundred dollars I spend on a phone every couple years is more than worth it for the amount of use they each get. I get so used to using social media apps that I forget they are actually accessible through the computer. The amount of time I spend on social media is very unhealthy and excessive due to the easy access of the apps on my phone.

           

            Has social media effect my life? Yes, social media has affected my life in a huge way. It has affected me in good and bad ways, which makes me appreciate it and dred its existence at the same time. On one hand, it has helped my become more outgoing, become a better leader, and has helped me make many friends. On the other hand, it has caused me not do school work and procrastinate till the very last minute. Social media and I have a complicated relationship that I am still not sure I love.

                                

Healthy lifestyle poster

movie poster

This movie poster is for the original Star Wars movie and I think it is a great design and I think what makes it even more of an awesome design is that every other Star Wars movie after this used a very similar layout and it continues to look amazing for each and every movie.

"Movie Poster Maker" article reaction

     This article about, poster artist, Dustin Stanton was very well put together and I never found myself loosing focus on it and I believe that is because of the question and answer format of the article. It was very interesting to learn about how he started off in a small family conpany and made his way up the ranks. I really liked reading the toughts of a actual poster artist who has some famous artwork. I also enjoyed when he spoke about how he went about doing each of the posters he was asked about. Overall I felt like it was very well put together and it kept me wanting to know more the entire time.

Dennis' HW #3

      I really liked the question and answer format because it kept me interested and gave a lot of ideas in a short time. Its very interesting to learn about how artist learn and succeeded in what they did. I liked how all the questions and answes kind of lead into eachother and didn't jump to far from topic to topic. In this article Dave Perillo showed me that all i need to do is be determined and do what makes me happy to succeed in life as an artist. Overall i really enjoyed reading this question and answer with Dave Perillo because i learned new things and was interested the whole time.

Reaction to Video

    This video really made me think because when you say the word design I instantly think of art and things similar to that, but this video showed the other more productive side of design. I liked how she took a really sharp turn from furniture design to gas masks for the people suffering in Israel, it really caught my attention. She also made great point about the design of the toys for disabled children to make them feel better and the ways that kids can want to take their medicine. I think it was awesome the way she presented and explain everything because she really changed the way i imagine the word "design".

Reaction to the article

        The article "How to Ruin a Great Design" had some things I agreed with and others I didn't. The road signs do bother me when the letters are unproportional, but I don't get destracted by it as the author stated he did. I agree with the author about the simple and to the point designs because it gets the job done, but doesn't distract you from the road. The whole thing about the companies changing old logos doesn't bother me as much as it bothered the author. I don't care what the logo looks like as long as it tell me about the company in some way. I actually really cair for the UPS logo because it's simple and tell everybody what it needs to.

Write a five line story?

A normal family from New York goes on a road trip around the country and somewhere around tornado alley they were alerted of a nearby tornado. Their first instinct was to try to avoid it...They tried to do so but still got caught in it in their car. Their tiny car stood no chance to the wild tornado. They were then picked up into the tornado and found out it was not a tornado, but in fact it was a alien spaceship bringing them up to the ship. These alien were nice and offered them space food, and they all ate a nice meal together. Later that day the family was returned to Earth and they were excited about telling everybody. Nobody of course did not believe them and the whole family was put in a mental hospital. THE END.
