NOTES

1. On the new online website that we are planning to get, something that stuck with me was to have polls, contest, etc to pull the audience to the website.

2. Another thing, was to connect social media to the school coverage of like sports and entertainment. I feel it would be a great idea to have twitter and such connected so that students could know what is happening at their school.

Architecture

DETAILS


I feel this photo meets the description of "details" because it is close up 
to a certain part of the building. Also, it shows the detail of that area and the 
structure of the building.  

LIGHT


I think this photo meets the description of "light" because it has the light of the sun 
coming from the end of the tunnel. Adding that light causes the photo to look more 
dramatic and give it a cool look. 

PATTERNS


This photo meets the description of "patterns" because the repetitive placements
of the windows make the building look more like a checkerboard which is repetitive.

ANGLES & SHAPES


This picture meets the description of "angles and shapes" because the angle this 
photo was taken of the eiffel tower gives the whole tower a cool shape and curved. It is 
a very interesting photo because of the way the photographer positioned the tower. 

SURROUNDINGS


I feel this photo meets the description of "surroundings" because it shows 
what surrounds the University of Texas Tower. It gives a little view of 
the UT campus and what you could see when walking around.
