(RowA/EX.1) This template attempted to get as close to the high school model taught. A mix of white space along with consistency in font color and shading colors present the information in a clean list layout. 

(RowA/EX.2) The all black and all centered font was an attempt to oversimplify the layout with intentions of a professional look but resulted in an underwhelming presentation. The white space gained by increased margins is pleasing but the lack of variety from labels and information that follows leaves the presentation lacking. 

(RowA/EX.3) Similar to RowA/EX.2, this example keyed in on maximizing white space. The result isn't unpleasing to the eye with some altering of font size and a differentiation between font colors as well. It looks more like a poster than a resumé but depending on quantity of information being put into a resumé, a less is more layout such as this could be beneficial.

(RowA/EX.4) This example is attempting to incorporate some professional characteristics from PR releases with the consistency of font, lack of shapes and lines, and also the block alignment of the name and contact information.

(RowB/EX.1) This template took the strong dividing shape layout concept from RowA/EX.1 but rearranged the contents attempting to find a more aesthetically pleasing final product, as well as organize the contents of the reumé by what may be more important to that individual opposed to that which schools teach applicants should advertise as most important (extracurricular > schooling). 

(RowB/EX.2) Similar to RowA/EX.2/3, this template looked to seize white space. rearranging the contents by adding the academic history and contact information under the applicants name, opposed to designating their own section of the page, allowed for the page tot breathe better without feeling underwhelming as other examples. 

(RowB/EX.3) This changed the listing format of the applicants information from bullet points to a side by side column with the according dates. Combining the strong shape and shading layout with one that allows the margins to breath, the inconsistency gives you a taste of both. 

(RowB/EX.4) This example got away from strong shapes while still going for the listing format. It reveals the necessity of strong shapes, shading, and font color altering to maximize that layout. The white space gained is also not as satisfying because is is not coming from the margins.

Most Effective Means of Communication

Life on Earth for all organisms is spent attempting to delivery an idea or message. The means of communication changes across species and age, but the objective remains the same: being understood to survive. In humans's case, the strongest means of communication seem to be visual and audio.  While keeping in mind many's lack of an attention span, audio and visual communication seem as the best means of communication. Information is often retained better when it's heard compared to read for many, and this is why a spike in podcasts is prevalent. In the modern age many people would rather listen to an interview's audio rather than read the transcripts. The broth of what is being communicated is watered down when the tone and rhythm are missing. Reading a Dave Chappelle joke compared to hearing one is two different experiences, because the joke is in the delivery through tone and pace. The rhetoric added in audio communication is the spine cabinet of communication. It is w...

stance topic - Thesis

      In 2019-2020 the city of Buffalo spent $122,770,247 on police and $382,580 on youth programs according to buffalony.gov. When engaging in research as to why the city is one of the most segregated in the country, the poor budgeting and mismanagement of resource distribution is impossible to overlook. It is insulting for many to watch police brutality occur not only nationally but locally, and then also see that's who is responsible for hoarding their communities resources. The Buffalo Police should be defunded and those resources spread in a more beneficial way that truly gives communities opportunities to strive rather than add an extra officer on every block rather than every other.
