I think that the Ps5 is brilliantly designed. Playstation is known to overheat but this new model of the Ps5 really overcomes those challenges. It has vents that run along both ends of the console (front to back as shown in picture above) which provides the Playstation with a significant amount of airflow which allows it to run more fluently and efficiently. Unlike older consoles the casing that surrounds these vents protect it by building up debris. They are easily accessible and quick to clean. The bottom is very steady and gives the console more of a futuristic look to it which I think is cool.
The product I chose that reflects my personal identity are my AirPod Pro’s. My AirPods are more than what they are for many others. Everywhere I go my Airpods are always with me. In a way they keep me sane. What I have learned about myself throughout the years is that music helps calm me and stay focused (as funny as it might seem). My AirPods direct me into my own world, away from the worries or problems that I could be facing that day. I really like the design as well. In fact they are my favorite design of AirPods. Unlike all other Apple AirPods these seem to be the most comfortable to me. They are easily adjustable to any type of ear with a simple change in the bud which I think is amazing.
I think that AAU basketball (Amateur Athletic Union) is a great example in how a designer built information or communication into a piece. Although AAU is a very competitive league over the last 200 years AAU Basketball has helped countless athletes reach the pros and their highest potentials. AAU becomes more than just a league, it becomes a place in which teammates become family. This program helps open doors and opportunities.
These Vapor Maxes produced by Nike in my opinion is a design that is poorly designed. The shoe in a way throws off your balance. Although the shoe is appealing, the bubble soul on the bottom of the shoe makes it super hard to walk without rolling your ankle at least 3 times.
Since I first saw this quote back when I was probably 7-8 years old, I knew this was the type of person I wanted to be. I strongly believe that there is no such thing as learning too much. Also knowing that MJ said this only makes it that much more credible since he has ultimately won the game of life becoming very successful. Knowing everything, even what doesn’t help you then will help you at some point in your life.
These brochures to me are a work of art. The simplicity of it makes it extremely easy to understand. I really like how they have the black big bold line at the top as well. They are also small which help store them anywhere unlike bigger brochures.
The blanket I have is similar to the one shown in the picture above (charcoal color). I've had one of these blankets for as long as I can remember. Quite frankly I don’t even remember when or where I bought it. I really like this blanket because it's heavy and almost hugs me which helps me feel comfortable when I fall asleep. The blanket also has holes in it that I think does great in regulating the temperature underneath. Overall very great product and would recommend it 100%.
This product endorsement was excellent. The National Football League's star tight end from the Kansas City Chiefs, Travis Kelce has a significant impact on young men and women. I think that by having him advocate for the COVID-19 vaccination and flu shot, more young people will be reached who may then decide to take the necessary action and vaccinate themselves as well. When I was younger I was very influenced by the athletes I looked up to. These athletes would then inspire me to do what they would do.
NIKE
"JUST DO IT"
Nike did a great job when coming up with this slogan. Aside from it being catchy the slogan represents having the courage to not doubt yourself. It gives me a sense of not hesitating and trying out the “not normal”. It inspires people to reach for the stars and overcome obstacles. The Nike symbol (the check mark) ties in so well into the slogan because it's telling us that we are moving in the correct way.
I really like this image campaign. It really hits home because of how scary things can get if we do not demand and find change now. We and everything on planet earth including our beautiful Earth will change for the worse. It is no coincidence that the things that are going on today on Earth are normal. This image does great in representing that. It speaks to great awareness and almost throws it into our faces. We know there's a problem when even things like us humans (apex predators) are at threat in changing genetically. Change starts with us!
This record player REALLY caught my eye. It's something so unique and I can honestly say it's something that I will never see again. Truly a 1 of 1 creation. It’s not something you see everyday. It leaves a long lasting memory because of how unique and eye-catching it is. Everything about this piece just screams vision and creativity. I love the cracks it has. It looks to hold a whole lot of history behind it based on how cracked it is. It looks like a very old ruin which I think is very cool as well. The mastermind behind this piece truly deserves a 10/10 for creativity.
My junior year in high school in the art class I took, I drew this portrait of Kobe Bryant. I was very proud of my final piece as it was far better than I would have ever thought. The image almost looked the exact same as the portrait online which was something very powerful I was able to learn about myself. I was very surprised because I had no clue I had the skills to draw such a piece. Hopefully I am able to find it at home and will submit it then if I find it.
