A person with dreams they can’t achieve is like someone who doesn’t have a life. That person may know what they want to achieve, but doesn’t know how. Lucille Ball was a girl who couldn't afford much, even pencils. She decided to drop out of high school at age 15. Lucille did pursue her dreams, though. Lucille wanted to be an actress and she accomplished that goal. She was in a lot of famous movies and in a show called “I Love Lucy.” This proved that, if you want something bad enough, and you never give up, you can fulfill your dreams.
This will include my thesis topic and my thesis statement. I will provide statistical data and sources that give information about Lucille Ball, as well as Carol Burnett and Ellen Degeneres. I will discuss how Carol Burnett and Ellen Degeneres were inspired by Lucille Ball to overcome their fears and achieve success as comedians, which in return lead them to build up their personal brand, resulting in them becoming entrepreneurial successes.
Some famous Americans have won the noble peace prize, while others might be known for creating world peace or world catastrophes. Lucille Ball will forever be remembered as the person who entertained people with “rubber faced antics (“Lucille Ball Biography”) “zany impersinations.” These comments may seem demeaning; however, they glorifiy Lucille Ball’s legacy. An actress, comedian, a producer, Lucille Ball is most famous for producing and acting in her most famous sitcom, I Love Lucy. Arguably one of the most influential female comedians of all time, Lucille Ball started small in the world of show business, worked her way to the top, and created a world-renowned sitcom that portrayed new ideas and reinvented the

In Willa Cather’s essay she unfolds Sarah Jewett’s ability to express her feeling for writing through her diction to form art. In Sarah Jewett’s novel, her feeling for writing is shown through her main character who came to New England to write her own novel. Jewett shows the struggles she feels when writing her own novels through her character. In one of the passages she writes, “Literary employments are so vexed and uncertainties at best and and it was not until the voice of conscience sounded louder in my ears than the sea on the nearest pebble beach that I said unkind words of withdrawal to Mrs. Todd”(18). Miss. Jewett uses antagonizing diction in this passage from her story, in regards to expressing her feeling towards writing. She shows her main character struggling with trying to write when using the words “vexed” and “uncertain” to show how irritated and unsure what to write about.
This obituary is for my great-great-grandmother, Martha Margerite Abraham, and was published in the 04 Sep 1957 issue of the New Ulm Journal. It has a great host of useful data about her, including her birth and death dates, birthplace, address at time of death, name of husband and place and date of marriage, residence after marriage, and place of burial. It also gives her husband’s date of death, the names and residences (cities) of her children at the time of her death, and the residences of her surviving siblings (two in New Ulm - these are named - and three in Germany). It even states that she died with “26 grandchildren, 57 great grandchildren, and two great great grandchildren,” which is a helpful figure when searching for cousins. There
To get a better in-depth feel for design elements and catching attention, I decided to observe different aspects of the sign in the Cafeteria. My goal was to watch people as they walked by the sign, and to see whether the sign was left noticed or not. Out of the thirty-two students that walked by the sign, only one student saw the gluten-free sign. Claire Korte, a student at the University of Oklahoma who noticed the gluten-free sign, said, “I only knew the sign was there because I am allergic to gluten and look for that, however, if I were a normal student, I would not notice the sign because it is ugly and boring to look at.” I went up to a student who had not noticed the sign and interviewed him. Garrett Warmen, a student at the University of Oklahoma who never noticed the gluten-free sign, said, “Honestly, I would have never known the sign was there. It is so dull; I would have never thought to even read it. I like bright colors and pictures.” Because the sign is missing key design elements, it leaves students on campus uninformed about

The 1950s saw the full development of a design movement that is apparently the most critical visual design style of the twentieth century as far as its sweeping effect, its life span, and its scope of pragmatic applications is concerned. The style started in Switzerland and Germany and is often alluded to as Swiss Style, yet it is formally known as the International Typographic Style. Its strength in numerous territories of graphic design covers a twenty-year period from the early 1950s to the late 60s, yet it remains impactful up till the recent times. As Richard Hollis puts forward in his book “Swiss Graphic Design: The Origins and Growth of an International Style, 1920-1965”, the Swiss Style has vital elements that are widespread throughout
As an interesting note, Gombrich reminds us that artists sometimes intend to convey particular message but because their work of art lacks the context, caption and code, are unable to convey it which might lead to what seems like a wrong interpretation. However, these “wrong” interpretations do not go against the artist work and hence it only “speaks against the equation of art with communication” (p. 64) which happens to be acceptable. I believe that this holds true because only by identifying different perceptions of an image can we completely exploit the potential of an
Graphic designer, Louise Fili, grew up in an Italian-American family in New Jersey and fell in love with the homeland of her parents at the age of 16 years. Since then, her passion for design, typography and Italian food has influenced her career as a designer. Fili went to study studio arts at Skidmore College but instead found graphic design, as she states in an interview “I went to Skidmore College where, if you couldn’t paint, they told you that you were graphically oriented. That’s when I found out what graphic design was.”. Later in the 1970’s, she completed her final semester at the School of Visual Arts in New York and at the age of 25 she become senior designer for Herb Lubalin. Then, she worked as an art director in Pantheon Books

A multimodal discourse analysis will be used to interpret various concepts in the Kentucky Fried Chicken (KFC) advertisement. The Kress and Van Leeuwen (2006) framework for interpreting visual signs will be utilised to analyse an advertisement with the purpose of indicating how visual and verbal signs in the advertisement are used to make meaning. It will also be used to indicate how visual and verbal signs are utilised and relate with each to make meaning.
The start of modernism being the Pioneer Phase took place between the middle of the First World War and the crucial movements from 1929 to 1933, early 1930s being know as the International Style. Pioneer Phase is a chain of variations and individuals who took charge to the problems faced when dealing with the appropriate design that would symbolise the twentieth century. They did so by focusing on three core elements of design, architecture, graphics and furniture.(P.Greenhalgh,1990, p. 91) The Pioneer Phase could simply be classified as a collaboration of ideas in which designers envisioned how the world could create a way in which improves the “material conditions” and mould the consciousness of humankind.(P.Greenhalgh,1990, p. 3).
