21st Century Smartphone

Cell phones have globalized todays society in countless ways. Not a minute goes by without a message being sent, receiving a call, or feeling the weird buzz the phone makes when a social media notification is being received. Most people today could not imagine a life without cellphones. The company Apple has created one of the worlds best selling smartphones, laptops, and other devices that make life easier. The products tend to be popular because of the way it turns every device into a personal cellular device. Even though the world is consumed with this new form of technology this was not always how things were. The first form of communication was the telegraph in the 1800s. This was used in times of war and when communicating to family and friends when in a long distance situation. It is safe to say this form of technology paved way for several different kinds of communicating devices. The first telephone was created by Alexander Bell in 1876. At this time the phone could not take pictures, download applications, and map the way to the nearest gas station. It is easy to look at the previous telecommunication devices when researching a smartphone. Another thing to keep in mind is the smartphones relationship with other previous inventions. The smartphone couldn't be possible without the technological breakthrough of the camera, SIM card, GPS navigation, and many more. The telephone as well as other smart devices have the ability to revolutionize society as a whole. This is seen with the generic motor car and the new electric car which was previously introduced to society. The telephone can attribute to the newer versions of cars where communication embedded into the car can be offered as an upgrade. In conclusion, smartphones have changed the world as we know it thanks to several other inventions that were used previously. This can also happen in the future with the iPhone and others being contributors.

Stop Motion Film

This film was done by me and Julia Christensen. The plot was two friends doing yoga together and presenting gifts to one another. We incorporated the advantage we had of disappearing into thin air and making it look like we were popping back into the scene from different spots. The props used were a plant and a picture that represented relaxation and peace. This project was not what we expected it to be but we both enjoyed the challenge. On our first try we took too many pictures making the movie look like it was a time lapse. We improved that as well as the different things we did within the scenes. Overall it was a fun activity to do and learn.

Grid Project

Image
I chose to make a pixelated version of a Greek island. Even though it was challenging at times to match the colors I believe this pixelated version is similar to the printed image I was trying to mimic. I used post it notes that were colored, some of them were colored on in order to perfect the colors. I did not color every post it note because the original ones emulated what the actual color was better than the markers. It was fun putting together this project and it was also interesting to learn what it takes to create a pixelated image on photoshop.

Angel De Quinta's STAGE DOOR Blog: favorite Broadway excerpts

The Broadway excerpts I enjoyed the most were the Tony performance that included Jennifer Holliday, Patti LuPone, and Betty Buckley, Bae Arthur "Fifty Percent",  and "Sit Down You're Rocking The Boat" performed by Guys & Dolls. Each video contained a fun energy as well as amazing talent. The Tony performance that included Jennifer Holliday, Patti LuPone, and Betty Buckley was a perfect mixture of talent, emotion, and attitude. I enjoyed the switching of singers and the emotion each artist had. It was fun to experience such talent on one state.   Bae Arthur had a lot of personality while singing the song fifty percent which made her overall performance stand out. She took the lyrics personally and projected that through the audience as well as her facial expressions. I would not have liked the song as much as I did if it wasn't for the performance Bae Arthur gave the audience. The Guys & Dolls performance had an exciting set and cool costu
