Reverse Engineering: Functional Analysis

• The primary purpose of this object is to provide security for anything that you need to lock up, the only thing bad is for this lock you need some sort of extention to put through the lock to secure it
• I think that inside there are a bunch of different gears and when they are exactly lined up you are able to pull out the lock
• The componenet that are visisble are the acutal lock, the numbers to turn it, and the metal it is made out of
• The components that i cannot identify are how it actually works adnn what the numbers line up to to actually make it unlock

Content is King

                                      

• One of my hobbies is listening to music, one of my favorite bands in Nirvana and AC/DC
• Many Bands actually have blogs that tell their fans when their newest album is coming out or and where they are touring
• I don't really see my self blogging but if i were to blog about physics,and technical building

Opt in #1

• There are many benefits for having ads on your blog, bloggers may let ads on their side to recieve money from the corporations who run the ads
• They get the money from the CEOs who need to get their product out in the open
• Others may put ads on to get people more involved in something that interests the blogger
• On the other hand pop up ads get really annoying for the person who is trying to get to the site
• ads also help you to fill up the sides of your blog so instead of having a boring blak page you can have ads to make it more filling
• The goal of  my blog is to share with teh rest of the class my opinions on topics we discuss
• I don't think that ads would be a ig deal for my blog to have

Opt in Superbowl Commercial

                         

• My favorite superbowl commercial was the new 2011 chevy Camaro 
• This commercial aired for about 1 minute for about 3 million dollars per 30 sec., so it ran for $6 million 
• A camaro starts at around $22, 680 and for the amount the ad costs they would have to sell 234 camaros and they usually
• And for the 111 million people who watched the superbowl it would probably take no time at all to get that money back
• I think that for a company like chevy it wouldn't really matter if they spend 6 million dollars on an ad because they would get the money back in no time

What's Going On post

 

• I found this ad in a wired magazine
• This is an ad for sprint 3G phones
• This is probably designated for business men or women who need to keep posted on thing going on in their business
• Andre olsen is my partner and he chose an ad for an app that helps you search for products for on your smart phone

                       Effective Graphic Design

• This add is large an gets your attention it is delivered to more of a business person
• The content for the ads is presented in the first sentence
• The message is to be delivered by ads
• the most important stuff is the biggest and then the small print is, small print

Conclusion:

1. Trends are important to see what is cool or not before you make your ad so you can profit from your ad in the modern world.
2. Human nature plays a role in this because a. they always want the best of everything and b. today everyone is texting and it is the best for people to have a phone that can keep up with them
3. The potential audience is identified when in the first sentence it describes it the speed of the phone and its capability
4. before you must find out what they are into and what are their likes and dislikes so you have the possibility of being profitable
