 China having a social credit system to track their citizens launching is wild to me. The thought of being tracked by the country through your phone is already too much. Top citizens getting VIP treatment could help people be better people or it could make things worse. Blocking individuals with  lower credit scores from equal opportunities isn’t fair to citizens overall because everyone deserves an equal opportunity. It even was said that it would block children from attending good schools. Being banned from a flight because of your score seems so insane to me.  The system requiring everyone to pay with their phones so their transactions can be tracked is something I couldn’t imagine happening here in the U.S. I like having a sense of some privacy even though I am aware that our phones are tracked to a degree as well.

 While updating and changing my social media profile bios, I used the profile tips link to help me. My social media accounts I used are Twitter, Facebook & my LinkedIn bio. My LinkedIn bio is more professional while when doing my Twitter and Facebook bios, it was less lengthy and not as in depth of who I am. In both bios I get straight to the point of my name, location and what I do, while my LinkedIn is more detailed into who I am. On my Twitter I use my nickname unlink my LinkedIn account and Facebook because Twitter is more personal and a conversational bio tone.  Twitter:  https://twitter.com/missdessyj LinkedIn:  https://www.linkedin.com/mwlite/in/destiny-jackson-aa928b251 Facebook:  https://m.facebook.com/DestinySwaggmyName?eav=AfbUKikavFGjFZRsWH2PFwsVUfCYfz9wB1tj1_4CcKX0fSsWAY8RHjmEKhds48C6ASk&paipv=0

 I chose a Wired magazine cover of Jimmy Fallon about robots taking over the world. For my mock cover I thought of “something” else that’s popular and always in blogs or talked about which is the Kardashians.  For my new Ad I chose a Patron advertisement and added some life to the Ad.

  This ad is well balanced with words along the top and the bottom of the photo. The main focus and image is centered focusing on the Samsung device. With the black background the apples add a pop of color. Since the phone can flip, the ad creators used that phone feature to make the ad similar to like the pac man game. The apples being eaten I think represents their competition Apple. The black background centers the main focus on the phone and the apples. 

 My first photo of my cat penny was taken at my house, an image of my pepsi bottles (my favorite drink) i bought, unique flower decor in my home &  a Limestone Women’s Basketball trophy from the gym. I used tips from the videos by getting close to my subjects to make it one main focus of the picture. I also considered perspectives and angles of the photos I took so they weren’t just straight head on shots. I tried to focus on capturing good lighting for all my images. I changed the focal point of the images letting the background be more blurred out focusing on the subject I chose for my picture. These images are a few of my favorite things.

 1. Fill the frame with what you like Get closer to capture the best image Figure out what the photo is really about 2. Simplify & Exaggerate the photo subject Zoom in on a feature or change the focal point 3. Don't center the photo  Use the rule of thirds to make image interesting 4. Create depth by having a foreground subject Create a story for your image and make viewer feel they're standing in your photo 5. Use leading lines to give viewer a visual journey through your photo 6.Perspective is everything Change from the normal boring perspective and change angles 7.Lighting is everything Sunrise or Sunsets, Use directional lighting to your advantage Work with the sun Steve McCurry's Tips Diagonal lines create great movement Figure to ground find contrast within the image Symmetry is pleasing to the eye
