Website Review (homework)

The website www.withoutjesusisuck.com is quite an interesting portal. Most older Christians would be turned off by such a title. Still the company has been doing quite well with their bold statement in creating and selling t-shirts, wristbands, sweatshirts, hats, and shoes.

This company's website is center of all their sales, merchandise, and sharing the gospel. If this website was no good then they would not be succesful on any level. The organization of this page is supuerb. The message it is trying to relay goes perfectly with the URL. The visuals are very attractive with all the pictures of multi-racial people wearing their parphanila. It is extremely easy to navigate through and find everything that you are looking for.

Overall, this website meets the demand of the people with it's organizational skills, attractive visuals and easy to use system. They will continue to be successful in sales until God no longer wants them in business.

Summary of Chapter 6 & 5.11

Photography is and always will be a powerful part of media. They say a picture is worth a thousand words, and "they" are exactly right. When people can see something in physical evidence it is a lot more convincing than a person telling them about it.
   Any Photojournalist wants their pictures to have a sense of drama, as if to ask "what is going on here?" or action to gain the interest of the public. All photographers use long range, mid-range, and closeups to help relay the message of each photo. Also the rule of thirds is important to make photos look more believable.
  Charts need to be accurate in news. Everything should be accurate in news but statistics especially cannot be wrong. Pie charts, bar charts,  line charts, all show the same data need to be clarified, simplified, and above all accurate.
  All graphs have a different purpose. For example a pie chart that has overwhelming numbers is good to show on a pie chart to portray the emotion of dominance. Bar charts have good comparison schemes and are good for business.
 Math is dire in charts. Mean, Median, ratios, percentages all majorly impact graphs.
