Selecting Appropriate Graphics for Web Sites
In giving recommendations concerning appropriate images for a splash page of a website to a beginning web developer, it is important for graphics to be relevant to a website, diverse in gender, age, and race, and appropriate in the use of color.
Using Relevant Graphics
I would first suggest that all graphics should be relevant to the subject of the website. If a graphic is not serving any purpose at all, I would suggest not using it because some users may become annoyed at the unneeded use of graphics. This leads me to the two fundamental purposes of graphics which Dr. Palmer discussed in class on Tuesday, February 17, 2004. Along with my course in technical editing, I have learned that

I chose these two types of graphics because of their appropriateness to a universal audience. These types of graphics are usually both visually appealing and interesting. As Susan Hilligoss and Tharon Howard state in Visual Communication: A Writer’s Guide, “Readers take in a document’s visual design and images immediately. We apply lasting memories of images across the documents we encounter. Thus the design affects readers’ first impressions of genre, interest, and importance” (8). The graphic chosen will form the first impression of the reader, therefore, graphics must be chosen with much …show more content…
For this reason, a web developer should consider the appropriateness of graphics and be prepared to accept the consequences if pictures are not appropriate for younger viewers. As was discussed in class, graphics must be diverse in both ethnicity and gender. Graphics must have an even dispersal of both males and females and must not be one-sided to any race. The web designer has to remember that the world is very diverse and not everyone is just like him/herself. Using an equal distribution of graphics will help alleviate the problem of offending any users because of noticeable bias in graphics. As Bruce Grierson states in his article “Shock’s Next Wave” featured in Picturing Texts, people in the world today are less likely to be shocked by graphics or text in advertisements. I believe this is apparent because of the new level of freedom in today’s culture, with dress, speech, and television shows becoming more provocative. As it states in the beginning of the article, “The old-school of ad making–establishing the product’s ‘unique selling position’ and carefully building brand loyalty–is dead” (136). I would recommend that a beginning web developer not have the goal of shocking one’s viewers. Instead, I would recommend including interesting photographs or pictures that are unique, yet appropriate to all
The average NFL (National Football League) career is only 3 years because of injury. Players are constantly retiring early because of injury that is not allowing them to play to the best of their abilities or even to play the game at all. Some of these injuries have even made it difficult for athletes to have normal lives mentally, physically and financially.
The NFL has also allocated a large sum of money towards the medical research of making the game of football a safer sport. Due to the intense scrutiny of the way we as the NFL have handled players has lead us to launch a new set of concussion and health related initiative which included allocating $100 million dollars into researching the prevention, diagnostics, and treatments of concussions. NFL commissioner Roger Goodell released a statement saying “The NFL has been a leader on health and safety in many ways, and we’ve made some real strides in recent years, But when it comes to addressing head injuries in our game, I’m not satisfied, and neither are the owners of the NFL’s 32 clubs. We can and will do better.” Sixty percent of the $100 million has gone towards the funding of equipment research, mainly improving and providing safer helmets for the players. We plan to use experts and engineers to find a way to get the same technology used in automobiles and find way to implement them in the helmets of today. The remaining $40 million dollars have been allocated to funding over the next few years to neuroscience and examining the long term of concussions and treatment
An injury can ruin any athlete's life, especially if it's bad. If a football player has an amazing sophomore season and then his junior year he gets a really bad injury his career is not entirely over, but there could have been a way to prevent that. If the NFL allowed the one and done rule and that college football player got drafted at an early age in the NFL, at least he would have money if he ever did get hurt. In college these athletes don't get paid, but if they did of course, there would not be a problem but they don't. So if they get hurt in college there is nothing that can be done. You just have to hope that you heal fast and work your way back up. A reporter by the name of Edwin Weathersby said “What happens if Watkins has another stellar year, then in his junior year he gets hurt and his career is over? At least if he were allowed to enter the draft, he would have some money to fall back on in case of injury”. One great example of this is when a player by the name of Inky Johnson got hurt while playing one of his last college football games. Inky Johnson didn't have the best childhood while growing up so at the age of seven years old, he promised his mom that he would make it to the NFL so that she would never have to work another day in her life. While Johnson went for the tackle he injured himself and paralyzed his whole right arm from shoulder
The owners and NFL’s responsibilities have changed since the release of this information regarding player safety. Not only do they have to focus on safety for their players, but they also have to market the sport to the next generation. It is important for the NFL to focus on player safety so parents do not turn their child away from a sport that is potentially brain damaging. If they cannot prove to the younger generations that they are making changes to ensure the future health of players, they risk the NFL’s marketability down the road.
Indeed, their options are limited. The consumers are the fans, and the fans have complete control on what the NFL does if they want their money. "In 2016, the NFL pledged $100 million in support for independent medical research and engineering advancements in neuroscience related topics. This is in addition to the $100 million that the NFL and its partners are already spending on medical and neuroscience research." (Source F) The NFL does not seem to care much about player safety, but instead the fear of losing out on money. Past players are all suing the league for not revealing the dangers of the game, and the league continues to lose millions. The rate of concussions has blown up over the last few years, but this might be a positive development. Just a decade ago, a player would be knocked out cold only to rejoin the game just minutes later. The modern style includes the dreaded blue tent, where if a player fails concussion tests they are not allowed to return. More concussions are being diagnosed, a contrast to sending a player back in who doesn’t know where he is due to insufficient protocol. The NFL Players association has also made a major impact on the future of the game and what needs to be done (Wire Reports). Unfortunately, the fans are opposed to simple changes in the game, and miss the blood and violence of years past. 2011 saw kickoffs almost eliminated due to the
Much like the blood offering given within the arena of gladiators as they fought to the death, violence is one of the factors that make the sport of professional football so entertaining. Fans of the game love to see big hits but the truth of the matter is that those big hits could be slowly killing players. “In my experience, every American male who put on a helmet for his high school when he was 16 years old…thinks he understands the level of hitting in professional football. He doesn’t. Not even close. But he can comfortably and safely act like it from his couch on Sunday afternoons, and argue the NFL players are richly compensated for the risks in catching passes over the middle.” (Layden). Most professional players aren’t being exposed to the real possibility of long term brain damage from the sport. This is entirely the fault of the NFL and those responsible should be required to assume full legal and moral responsibility. If this serious issue had been addressed when it should have and with the proper means, players like Junior Seau, Ray Easterling, O.J. Murdock, and Jovan Belcher might still be
Obviously rough and now medically proven to be extremely dangerous, football is dire need of rules and equipment change. Whistleblowers and cover-ups continue to find their way into mainstream media and government documentation, yet the NFL continues to side-step taking responsibility for prior, present day, and future players’
Under the gram stain, N. meningitidis is a gram-negative diplococcus and often found within the PMN. This bacterium grows on both chocolate and blood agar culture plates. The colonies of N. meningitidis are mucoid gray and have a greenish tinge to it, whereas a non-pathogenic Neisseria colonies are dry looking. In the biochemical testing, N. meningitidis is oxidase and catalase positive. In carbohydrates utilization test, N. meningitidis is glucose and maltose positive. However, some strains of this bacterium are maltose negative. Immunologic tests are useful to see the antigen of N.
Football injuries is something people hate to see and experience but are all a part of the game; and if athletes choose to play this sport they have to realize the longer you play the sport the more likely you are to get hurt playing that sport. Therefore athletes should be very careful and try to prevent if possible any injuries from happening to them as well as others.
Many do not consider where images they see daily come from. A person can see thousands of different designs in their daily lives; these designs vary on where they are placed. A design on a shirt, an image on a billboard, or even the cover of a magazine all share something in common with one another. These items all had once been on the computer screen or on a piece of paper, designed by an artist known as a graphic designer. Graphic design is a steadily growing occupation in this day as the media has a need for original and creative designs on things like packaging or the covers of magazines. This occupation has grown over the years but still shares the basic components it once started with. Despite these tremendous amounts of growth,
To sum it all up,Professional sports are too risky for players because they can get head injures,CTE,and concussions.Also they can get hurt and cause issues.I predict that if players keep getting hurt then the safety policies would finally complain about the dangerous sports.In my opinion if all of this happens just because of a sport they should stop all of it and make a improved version of the game where its safe.When the players play the game they might go
Weighing the Risks testifies that playing professional sports such as the NFL is too risky. On the other hand, Let Them Play testifies that playing professional sports is perfectly safe. I agree with Weighing the Risks that playing these professional sports is too risky. Weighing the Risks
The design of the Web site is very bright and appealing to the eye. Its layout is inviting and easy to navigate. Its design is consistent through all pages. There are many graphics including, photographs, illustrations, and animated buttons and GIFs. These graphics are placed in an orderly fashion and do not create a cluttered appearance. The site has its own search engine which assists in navigating throughout the site.
Computer Graphics is the bond between humans and computers. Computer graphics is a large field that branches into almost all fields of computer science; however its roots are young. Computer graphics has massively grown over the past 40 years and is now our primary means of communication with computer applications. Do to technological limitations in the 1950s, computer graphics began as a small, specialized field. The Whirlwind project at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology is marked as the origin of computer graphics (Machover 14).
I was interested particularly in doing graphics design and the visual communication that I was inspired by combining images phrases and ideas to illustrate to the target and audience so that they would impact and react on those kind of illustrated for e.g. the billboards, poster, the product packaging and lots of more advertisement there. There are lots of elements on different types of media that I have already mentioned but there are also examples like Logos which really encourage people and make those people to think about logos. There are also lots of books designs and magazines advertisements thinking from these graphics design use of socially, morally ethical thinking mainly it happens when people do mostly think about positively and negatively so it would affect people’s mind and they would think more in detailed meaning which is called graphical visual communication, to demonstrate the recycle logo which would be advertise the recycling of ‘trees hunger and suffer do recycle paper’.
