Week 5: Movies or Recordings

My favorite movie from the year 2009 would be District 9. I saw this movie at a movie theater located within a shopping center. District 9 delivered in a very different way compared to other movies. It was a mix of it being a documentary, shooting in first person, and as well as third person viewing. The movie was also a mix of action and romance and it kept me on my toes during the entire movie.

Week 4: Magazines

The name of my magazine will be titled CompGeek. It will be a magazine that supplies articles about the computer industry. This will be different from our competitor 'PC Magazine' because articles will consists of new parts/old parts, what not to invest in, new technology and whats in the process, and the gaming industry and how its evolving. I plan to target the middle aged group because that's the age group where they tend to be the most interested. 5 advertisers I think will reach my readers would be Nvidia (video graphics), HP/Dell/Acer (laptops/Monitors), office furniture providers, and gaming software by Valve or Blizzard Entertainment. The cover of my issue will show the ultimate computer, along with eye catching visuals and graphics of the most popular games that are out.

Week 3: Books

The three books I chose for this blog: The Bible, Catcher in the Rye, and Harry Potter. The Bible has always been a part of my life. I grew up in a heavily religious family that went to church every Sunday and always being preached to about the Bible. Catcher in the Rye is probably my all time favorite book. It is the first book I read with free speech. It is really heavy on the profanity and portraits independence within the main character that I really like. Although I read only the first two books of Harry Potter, it provided very good entertainment. It was one of the "better" books i have read and I would enjoy re-reading.
