LINKS

We have combined our images page with a new section on links! Sometimes it's hard to get everything doen correctly, but I've caught on! I've added links that will take me to a new website, another section of the same site, and even pictures! My favorite one is the Images as Links kind because you can click on a picture and it will take you to a website. I tried uploading a link to my page, but for some reason it doesn't work :(. Anywho, links are definetly easier now than they were at first!

my logo




We just finished creating our own logos! Mine is really cool! I made it using Filezilla and it was hard to figure out how to unload at first, but I had some help and figured it out! Here it is...What do you think? Comment if you want...

MORE SNOW


TECHNOLOGY & SCHOOL

I use my phone all the time for school purposes! I have my FirstClass email account as an app on it so I can check my email for news at any time, which is so easy. I can google anything I want to know about for research on my phone too. We're lucky and can have our phones out in the hallway all the time, some teachers let you have it on your desk during class. My old school, HP, would have a heart attack if you had your phone out in the hallway or class.

SNOW


It's snowing!! I can't believe how much snow we've gotten this year! It's so pretty and fun but we STILL have school. Ursuline, Parish, Jesuit, and Cistercian are out today! We are literally three blocks from Usruline and are still here. We are between Parish and Ursuline and are still here. AHH. But luckily there's a meeting going on right now to discuss an early release because the weather is supposed to get worse at about 12.
Ellie is so lucky because she's at Wolf Run today! I wish she was here blogging but I'm sure she's having a blast in the snow there too!
Haha my brother is in school too! HP didn't get a snow day either....

Tuesday

COCA-COLA

Coca-Cola's logo! I love it because it's still old fashioned looking, like things were when Coca-Cola was founded.

LOVE LOGOS



I've never really thought much about logos and how effective they really are before today, but I've learned a lot already. The best ones aren't too showy and don't have too much going on. They are simple but still interesting and eye-catching. My favorites are probably Coca-Cola, Starbucks, World Wildlife Fund, and NBC. The five qualities of a good logo are: describable, relevant, scalable, memorable, and effective without colour. Coca-Cola's logo is easy to read, and even without the red, would still be memorable for me. It's font is neat but still fun. Starbucks is a classic and definitely memorable and "scalable". I really like the WWF logo because of the picture of the panda bear- it stands out but isn't too big. It's cute but not over the top. Lastly, the colors of the NBC logo are really fun and eye-catching, and I think it would still be a good logo without those colors because of its design.
