Task 1
    For my inspiration, I decided to pick what I fall asleep under every night! I love the colors in this picture, thats why I got it, so when I heard that we would have a project in which we must pick a good color scheme, I knew exactly what to pick! 
                                                                                Task 2
   The colors in my nameplates are light blue, green and pink, my favorite colors in the picture and I figured that this would be the best combination I could come up with out of the picture. For my tints, I Chose to do 50% light for the middle, and 10% for the lightest one. 


Task 3 
For the last task, I was to make nameplates out of my swatches. While I'm a little disappointed in how the green and blue interacted but I am impressed with the last one, where the green and blue seem to go well with the pink.

Bernstein and Woodward

      Oz Jensen   Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward      Carl Bernstein and Bob Woodward are the perfect example of why the 4th estate, as well as free speech are such essential parts of a functioning democracy. The journalists exposed illegal activities by an acting president, directly leading to his being the first President in history to step down from power.   What was Watergate?          In the morning of June 17, 1972 , several burglars were arrested at The Office of National Democratic committee. The next day, it was released that the men who were arrested had connections to Richard Nixon. In the immediate aftermath however, it appeared as though Nixon would get away with it. Even with the scandal, Nixon easily won 1972 reelection, earning a whopping 520 electoral college votes.      This all changed very quickly after Woodward and Bernstein released their book, "All the President's men" in which, with the help of a deep government source, referred to as Deep Throa

War Blog

 Oz Jensen      In 1897 when William Randolph Hurst got a cable that stated "There will be no war" he responded with "You furnish the pictures and I will furnish the war.", sure enough, in February of 1898 the USA declared war on Spain after The U.S.S Maine blew up.      Hurst took advantage right away, understanding that war with Spain over Cuba would sell more copies of his newspaper , Hurst started a public campaign falsely propagating that Spain had definitely blown to U.S.S Maine and that America should respond strongly. Thanks to "yellow journalism" from the media, and especially Hurst public sentiment for the war was at an all time high.  The role of a journalist is often referred to as the 4th estate , referring to the power journalists have over public opinion and ability to impact political issues. For the most part in cases such as watergate, this is an exceptionally good thing, but what happens when journalists, similar to Hearst, ignore the t

muckraking and yellow journalism

                                                                Muckraking and yellow journalism blog      While yellow journalism and muckraking are often used interchangeably, there is a difference between the two distinct types of journalism. While muckraking involves investigating powerful people for scandalous information, Yellow Journalism involves utilizing sensationalism and exaggeration over facts to get more readers and influence.      The fact that these two journalistic styles are responsible for journalists having more power, and the usual powerful people to have less, powerful people are usually not fans of Muckraking or Yellow Journalism.      While at times using sensationalism can be a bad thing, sometimes there are correct reasons. An example of this could be Paul Revere's cartoon of the Boston massacre.      While we are aware that this is not an accurate representation of what happened in the Boston Massacre, this type of journalism helped changed public perce
