SOPA & PIPA

I think that it is unfair they are taking away our rights to the internet. While I understand where they are coming from, it is rather ridiculous what the outcome will be. No matter the intent, they are taking it to far. Our rights will be stripped from us. As many sites that we will not be able to speak our mind any longer will have a bad effect on our society and I do not think it will be accepted well.

Importance of a Poster

I choose this poster because I think it has all the important characteristics that a poster should have. The colors are appealing to each other, the scenery is interesting, who the poster is for is clear, and it markets in a modest way. I believe this poster represents a good poster that gets its meaning across.

How I made this video

To make this video I started in movie maker and loaded the photos, captions, and the main song. Then I did voiceover in three separate clips and had to export it to Premier Pro. I used sound forge to make sure my voiceover was accurate and set up my prime keys to make sure the voice was where it needed to be.

PSA Resource Link

I found that this article was very helpful in giving ideas of creating a PSA. The article explained different goals of a PSA as well exactly what PSA is. The article made a point to tell the reader to use real language and express themselves clearly. The article also made a point to express how important it is to use emotions in the PSA to grab the viewers attention. Now I know that the most important component of a PSA is to give an emotion appeal to people so they get the feel of the importance of he issue. It also said that the PSA addresses a specific audience. The article made a point to state it is important to use music and images in a timely manner. The article expresses the point to put all your information you want to get across in a timely manner of about 30-60 seconds. The article tells you the real importance of a PSA. It is for the good of the people and in better them. I now understand better what the components of a PSA are and think I will be able to create one with more of a to the point purpose.

PSA intent

I want my PSA to show the effects that low self-esteem has on women. I will be using statistics on homeless people, and quote what homeless women share about their life. I want to get a more in depth feeling on how women who are confidence view their life and how that effects their stressfulness.

• I'm going to start off with my title slide that tells what topic I will be discussing with a song.
• Then I will have statistics on homeless people in America
• In between the slides I will have pictures that represent the hard things homeless people have to live in
• I will have quotes that homeless women have said talking about the way they feel about themselves.
• I will also have quotes from regular women who have low self-esteem and how it affects them
• I will show clips of stories women have shared about their hardships as well
• I will end it with how women with higher confidence levels have more successful lives.

Presentation Capstone Elements

1. For my presentation I may present the things necessary for making the women feel better about themselves, such as blow dryers, flat irons, curlers, and makeup.
2.  I will probably present mine with people holding it since my project involves people. I hope it gives a more in depth feeling.
3. I would probably use a person to demonstrate the purpose of my business to create.
4. Cosmetologists have very casual wear so I do not think any particular dress would matter, but my personal preference is business attire.
5. Important points are the feelings of women with low self-esteem as well the effects it has on these individuals. It is also necessary to provide facts about the harshness of a homeless persons life.
6. I do not know exactly what I would like to present, but a brochure is not the way I want to go with this project I don not think.
7. I will most likely use a video or website because I feel it is more appropriate for the content I will be presenting.

Look and Feel Issues

1. Although my capstone project is about beauty, it has a very serious message about the problems homeless women deal with. This is why I will not be using humor, but get my message across through a very serious PSA.
2. I think that a lot of statistics will be in my PSA, but they will be shown in very plain text and color. I do not want any of the fonts, colors, or pictures to take away from the message.
3. I am hoping that my presentation will show people the real issues of women with low self-esteem and help them see how it effects lives in the most negative way.
4. I am going to make it understood by showing statistics and using real life people, possibly in documentaries or interviews.
5. I intend to create a charitable company that gives women want they want on the outside to fulfill what they want on the inside. I would like to help them with their hair, makeup, and wardrobe so that they feel better about themselves. Once their confidence raises it will be easier for them to go out in the world and get a job and back on their feet. The end result is to get women off the street as long as their children, but my intentions are also to make them feel better about themselves.

1. Key points to my PSA are going to be:
1. The numbers of homeless women
2. The way they feel toward themselves
3. The help of feeling confidence
2. I would have people talking about the statistics, music in the background, and possibly bits and pieces of documentaries.
3. I would like to look at PSA's concerning homeless people as well as ones that talk about how low self-esteem effects people.

Capstone Project Statment of Intent

1. The goal of my project is to get women of streets by raising their self-esteem. Beauty is a huge psychological factor in a woman's view of themselves, so I plan to help change their outside to make them happy on the inside. Once I help raise their confidence, they will be more successful in the world.
2. Homeless people in America is a sad thing that many people have to live with. If I can get more women off the street than not only will it help them, it could boost the economy.
3. I want to be a cosmetologist. Making people feel better about themselves is what I want to do for a living.
4. Like I said earlier, it helps the individual person as well as the economy to get people back on their feet.
5. This project targets homeless women. It helps get them on their feet in a way that allows them to stay on them. It does not just place them in a job, but rather give them the courage to go find a job.
