Show and Tell: Typography

This Energizer battery ad uses typography to appeal to music listeners looking to boost up their battery power to listen to their tunes longer. The combined use of serifs and sans serifs also adds to the appeal of this ad which appeared in the October edition of Rolling Stone Magazine.

Show & Tell: Narration

These narrative examples come from the children's book, Miss Nelson is Missing! The book is written by Harry Allard and James Marshall and is about an elementary school class who is always misbehaving. They take their teacher Miss Nelson for granted until she doesn't come to school one day. They don't like their new teacher Miss Viola Swamp. This book is very entertaining, and has great illustrations. My daughter loves this book.

Group Story Assignment

This was the story that our group put together
using just scissors and colored construction
paper. This assignment was fun and informative,
and allowed us to work as a team to tell a story
without using words. The story reminds me a
lot about life. You reach for the top not
knowing what might be waiting on the other side.
