Police Brutality

---

It’s no secret that racism is a prevailing problem in America. It’s not something that happened overnight it’s a deep-rooted issue. It affects a lot of things, but one of the big things in today’s society would be police brutality. How would you feel knowing you’re more likely to be killed or even harmed by police simply for the color of your skin? I in no way intend to bash police because I know for a FACT that it’s not all police, heck my mom is a detective so I have a lot of internal insight of the workings of a police force. Again this is not intended to bash, I simply want to shed light on facts. People deserve to know the truth about what’s going on.

The “True” I inspiration the classic Supreme Logo. The Supreme font used Futura font. White font and red back. I still tried some another color; I put them on the below. Because it is a tidal brand, the color should be bright. Red is very bright, and people can see it at a glance.  The font does not need too many colors. I think one color is enough.

With the development of China’s reform and opening up, more and more Chinese students choose to get a better, higher education abroad. It is known that thousands of Chinese students go to America to get a higher education and the number of them is still increasing every year. However, it is not an easy process to get a good accommodation in an unfamiliar place for an international student, especially when they have totally different languages and traditions. As Yan and Berliner (2009) mentioned in Chinese International students’ academic stressors in the United States that Chinese students are not only one of the biggest groups of foreign students on American campuses, but also one of the international groups that experience greater challenges adapting to the American educational system.

Anti-Semitism in the US

---

It’s no secret that Anti-Semitism is on the rise in America due to our current president (surprise surprise), and the statistics are staggering. The Anti-Defamation League counted 1,986 anti-Semitic incidents in the last year — the second-highest number since the group began tracking them nearly four decades ago. This means it rose 57% in 2017 alone, with a report in every state. By bringing awareness to these concerning issues, hopefully history will not have the chance to repeat itself.

Project true: all about camera

---

For the “true”, I used RBG color model as the inspiration to full the color in the empty part of this. However, red and green, let me think about that there is an interesting news about the camera brand. Photographer always said Nikon was yellow, Cannon was red and Pentax was green, because of the color of their logo. Therefore, for the final design, I choose yellow to instead of blue. I also use some camouflage patterns. Because some of photographer will use camouflage case of lens and camera to hide themselves when they took photo in forest.
