One of my interests is basketball, so I like ESPN magazine because they have a lot of basketball updates.

My favorite player in the NBA is Kobe Bryant, so for my second interest was SPORTS ILLUSTRATED, the picture of Kobe.

Another one of my interests is skateboarding, so I got a es Skateboarder magazine ad

For the first picture I appear like a winner, because I'm smiling.
How I got that effect is by tightening muscles in my face to make me smile so I look like a winner.


For the second picture I appear like I'm the same in the first but it's just a different cover.
How I got that effect is by uploading the same picture to a different cover.

What lifestyles, values and points of view are represented or omitted in this message?
In this picture Kobe looks mad, fierce, competitive, he's making a weird face, buff, and focused.


What techniques are used to attract my attention?
What techniques were used to attract my attention is probably nothing its just a picture of Kobe during a game.

The second picture Kobe looks official, rich, happy, everyone's looking at him, you can tell the focus of the picture is Kobe.

Again I don't think that this picture is supposed to draw anyone's attention, because it isn't for a magazine or anything.

2. I agree with the statement this is making, which is that cell phone companies are coming out with way to much stuff for us to keep up with just so that we (the consumer) will use their company.

3. I found this at Yahoo! news.






1. What I think this article is trying to state is that holidays are always the same, it's always like the same face on a pumpkin or the same thing every year no matter what celebration.

2. I agree with this statement, every year its the same thing.
