Presidential Debate 2012

To me Mitt Romney was annoying in that he kept interrupting the president and the mediator. He never let them finish their statements and always felt that he should have the last word regardless. I also did not like how Romney constantly changed his answers especially from things that he had said before the debate. President Obama looked out onto the audience and into the camera addressing the nation, Romney only looked at Obama and only addressed him. I think that Obama was very respectful in that he allowed answers to be finished and asked. However with how Romney was acting I feel that he should have been more aggressive. The stage to me was just pretty bland. They focused on whoever was talking and went back and forth. Romney had a red tie and Obama a blue one representing their parties. This experience could have been different for someone else that didn't watch it on ABC.

Website Design

While working on one of my web design assignments I figured I would surf the web in search of a cool and fresh layout. Hot topics like fashion and politics routed me towards the democratic party's website.
Wow, what a cool design. I am impartial to any of the candidates but I must say Obama's website is top notch, I suggest you all take a look at it.

Blithe Riley

Blithe Riley visits University of Kentucky's campus. 
Topic: Occupy Wall Street. 
In my opinion I was a little confused by their overall goals.
I am not sure if  what they were doing was any different from other groups or organizations that are against a certain issue and all they conquer is media recognition. With all do respect, at the end of the day nothing remarkable happened, they got recognition but no real outcome. However, I do admire the way they performed at the museums and how they captured the visitors attention, for the artistic part of it.

 

RNC 2012

I would like to talk about the reveal for the stage at the Republican National Convention  in Tampa Bay. Now more than ever less is more, we can see a clear use of simple sharp elegant lines throughout the stage. Also, a very patriotic theme as we can expect from such event.
The use of various sized screens will give the audience a better view of Mitt Romney when he takes the stage. An overall slick design that goes in hand with today's visual culture.
