Between these two posters,


In my opinion this Poster:

This image is more powerful than the full color poster of the “Flag, Clouds and Stars”. Because the simple black and white image to me is more powerful. The focus of a boot footprint in the dirt I interpret as timeless salute to ever member of all branches of the USA military services. Who served their country either foreign or domestic duty in service of the policies of the United States of America.

I see as a statement of “boots on the ground” salute to veteran’s service. That boot print image as reminder that these are actual people who served. Honoring the men and women regardless of which branch of their military branch this day November 7th is a time of remembrance and respect of all veterans’.

Since the formation of the Colonial Revolution thought today each member of the military services, and into the future, paid for in the most precious commodity on the that is time served up to and including one’s life in the line of duty.

That boot print image to me is representation of each individual person how has performed their duty for the county, whose efforts collectively represent the nation. I am proud to be American.

Blog Post 6 - Go Animate

I used GoAnimate my choice was to employ a debate public platform and used the context of why the candidates champagnes where so lame.

By not using the internet tools we learned in class, Chris Matthews with Hard ball was the comminatory, Bachmann, Perry, Obama and Bedin where the guests on the panel.

The reason choose that format is that I thought it would engage the audience and imprinted some of the local personalities and issues reflecting on current news stories and some humor never hurts.

It was fun once you got to know what how to get it working.

I forgot to incorporate some the issues which was required in the task assignment I would address these tasks as my suggestion for improvement.
