Remix

Before reading the remix introduction, I rarely ever focussed on copyrights. The article mentioned many cases of copyright issues that seem ridiculous. Sometimes people don't mean to do it, like the mother in the article. She just wanted to share a video of her son dancing to her family, but in the end she was sued $150,000 by Prince. Personally, I thought this was an overreaction. The mother was just sharing a video of her son dancing to a Prince song in the background. However, this just reminds people how important it is to give the original creators credit for their work, to avoid consequences like this. Even though many new ideas are originated from previous ones, credit should still be given to the owners because the new idea was based off the original one.

    Yes I agree the example with the mother is an overreaction. The reading does emphasize how important copyright laws are.

    I agree with you 100%, Prince's reaction towards the mothers video post on Youtube was an overreaction. I also believe that this reading definitely emphasized the importance of copyright laws.

    I agree that some of the copyright issues were ridiculous and that most people don't even realize they are doing it.

    I agree with what you said about the copyright being an overreaction. Im sure the mom wasn't aware of the consequences of posting the video with the prince track.

    I also agree that the reading really made me realize how important copyright laws are, and how they are taken very seriously.

This text showed me how us as readers perceive a certain font or text and how it can influence our mood and how we feel about a certain reading. It also showed me how elaborate texts can draw us into something such as a poster or a title page of a book. Also how very bland fonts do not appeal to many readers as they might think of it as boring and plain. This gives me a lot to think about as project three comes closer. It makes me think of the reader and what type of fonts might draw them into my website, social media page, etc. This text was very helpful for this type of assignment.

Action Plan

Jacqueline Kulle The peer review helped me a lot for my action plan and gave me more ideas and insight on what I should do. I was struggling with what I should do for my subversion, and I got the idea to do a meme or a comic strip. I have to finish and touch up my website, finish my nondigital picture, finish my comic strip, and get more participants for my survey. The peer review was beneficial and now I have a much clear idea on how I should do this project.

Subversion and Redemption. Rachel Klahm

1. Some subversion examples the author mentions are Max in  Where the Wild Things Are and Don Quixote. Other movies that are subversions are  A Haunted House and WALL-E. WALL-E is a subversion because it's a light hearted cartoon with a much deeper meaning. Humans have abused planet Earth with industrial corporations to the point where they must abandon it until robots have cleaned it up. The moral lesson is that technology and industry are bad and if we continue on the path we're on, the Earth will turn into the trash ridden world that is in WALL-E. Despite this, the film is still pro-human. Compared to the usual "humans are bad for nature" lesson, WALL-E  actually shows why Earth needs humans. The movie has no real dialogue from anyone, just robot sounds and intercom voices on the ship that the humans live on. When WALL-E   meets Eva they ask each other "Directive?" which basically means "What's your purpose?" Each robot in the film has a dir...
