IT'S SO HARD TO SAY GOODBYE



Well I guess it’s that time... Where we have to part ways. I tried to articulate how this class made me feel. I feel like this class took me on an emotional rollercoaster. I was always at the edge of my seat. I thought an appropriate picture would be one from Set It Off.





This movie started off one way, but ended in a totally unpredicted way. They had some fun, laughter, tears and it ended with hurt, pain, death and sadness. While I am grateful for this class it is also important to know that I learned so much from each of you. Even those of you who have written so much I learned that sometimes less is not more, it’s just less.




When I think about how “out of the box” this class was I think of Lean on Me. There is a scene in the movie where a young lady says, “You don’t know a thing about Mr. Clark.” I would go as far as to say, “You don’t know a thing about Dr. Kyburz.” For those of you who haven’t seen this movie, I know your wondering what does this mean?

Mr. Clark became the principle of a high school where no one else wanted to go. Society had written them off, so he went in with some unconventional methods and made scholars out of the students. They learned things that they didn’t realize they could not only from the teachers, but each other. That is how I feel about this class. I will never forget this class or all of the crazy we all went through, but ultimately we pulled it off.




I guess it time… I say a final thank you to all of my classmates and teacher for allowing me the opportunity to learn from you all and I look forward to reading some publications from you all. Feel free to connect with me on Facebook. I’m sure we be in touch soon!

Thanks,

Natasha Johnson

CAMPUS SIGNAGE PROJECT

CAMPUS SIGNAGE PROJECT As I begin to write about this Campus Signage Project (CSP) I realise that this may not be as easy as I first anticipated. As I go through my day-to-day life at Northern Illinois University (NIU), I am beginning to understand that I rarely have time to “smell the roses.” I spend most of my time in the Student Recreation Center (SRC), as that is the location where my office is. When thinking of what poster or signage will I pick, as there are an insurmountable amount of posters and signage all over NIU. As I stated that I am often very busy, I actually found a sign within my own location. Two signs to be exact. Now the question is, which will I choose? Picture of Wellness At first I walked through the long cold hallways of the SRC and stopped to see the signage locate d above. At first glance it looks as though they are a way for you to be well, and they are, but as I look closer, I realise it is more than just information about wellness ...

Where does the Time go?

Time is something that comes and goes. It is also something you can never get back. There is a saying, "no man knows the day or the hour he or she will leave this earth." One thing that is certain is that at one point or another we will all leave this earth. As I think about time, I realize that life is so precious and if you don't take the time to spend them with the people you love, one day you will wake up and wonder 'where did all the time go.' I have four fantastic children and I love to spend time with them. As they get older I am understanding that this time is so valuable. I would do anything to get back some of the years where I thought "work" was so important or school. Well... I can't change yesterday, so all I can do is move forward with today, while its here!

Branding Guidelines and Constraints

Branding Guidelines and Constraints When I think of the branding, I think less is more.  There are many different ways one can look at branding. They can consider it to be the companies Logo or the quality of an item. Branding can go as far as a company’s reputation in society. While companies have to be careful  that they stay within their core business, many companies are branching out so much that there original core business is getting lost in translation. Companies like Burger King and KFC had to learn how to use constraints. Burger King went from being known for burgers to sales, hot dogs, tacos, bean burgers, turkey burgers, mac and cheese bites, Cheetos chicken fries and sliders( www.Burgerking.com ). While KFC went from being known for fried chicken to think thin, marketing their grilled chicken. They use to sale a fried chicken pizza that did not go over well with consumers.  Currently they are in the process of discontinuing their grilled chicken. I th...
