iPods, iPads and Laptop Skins

In class we are working on a project, where we design skins and screen savers for iPod touch, iPad, iPod classic or a laptop. I did an iPod touch, because I want to get an iPod touch, but I can't.

For my iPod touch design I picked one of the elements, nature with a bit of Personal Design. First I drew trees circling the paper, then I divided the papers in lines and colored normal colors, then red colors. It was red, normal, red, normal, red, then normal.

My iSkin is repetition and simplify, because my trees are very simple and cartoonish and I repeat the trees in my design. I used HURBE by making the colors the same, and having the same amount of red and normal colors. I also made the middle of my art the emphasis.

JINGLE......
It's green, We're clean,
It's red, We're dead,
It's blue, We're new,
It's brown, Don't frown

FINISHED!

Happy Birthday Google!

Woohoo! Google is 12 years old!

Art

My new Art Blog! Didn't want to make a new blog, so I used my 6th grade blog. I hope this year my blog will actually be nice. No more English, but Art!

Lie vs. Asking Questions

If I had a choice to pick between lying or asking questions and getting true answers I would choose to ask any questions because I like to know things, and if I lie it makes me feel kind of guilty. I would know things that a lot of other people might not know. It also gets annoying when people answer your questions with, "Ask me later," or, "Not now," or even, "I don't want to talk about it." I like to know the truth about a lot of questions I have.

The Giver Journal Entry

The ceremony of Twelve is over now, and I feel nervous and confused about my new selection. What is The Receiver of Memory, and why hasn't anybody ever mention this to me? I'm looking through my list of instructions and I don't get it, I'm allowed to lie? The pain, of The Receiver of Memory doesn't sound that good, but it is a very important job in the community. I wonder why I was given the position as The Receiver of Memory, and what I will learn from this experience.
