5 historical events

My choices for historical events:

World War 1
Obama's inauguration
911- world trade center falls
First video game for public- Pong
the great depression

911- the al Qaeda attacked U.S. soil with consecutive suicide crashings of hijacked airplanes into the world trade center buildings in new york city. this took place on September 1th, 2001 around nine in the morning. the reason this event is so significant is because it started americas war on terror and sparked intense national pride for america. the enemy was such a confusion to america that it targeted afganastan and then moved to iraq. President bush sent troops in to find and take out "weapons of mass destruction" that were never confirmed to actually exist, and osama Bin ladden who was the leader of the al Qaeda and Saddam Hussien, the president/dictator of iraqi became huge targets as well, as they had involvement in the attacks. eight years later, we're still in iraq because the ilsamic resistance to the u.s.a. osama bin ladden has yet to be found, but Hussien was found and killed.

movie poster

I Liked this image because it's a show that i like, and this design is very aesthetically pleasing to me. the reason i'm directly drawn to this image is because of the bright and highly saturated color scheme of the design. the design doesn't fallow normal design setup as the image is docked to the left side of the ground, and nothing important is centered, or in the natural top right corner. the large face under the text, takes the main focus, and slowly your eyes move from the largley propotioned face to the smaller secondary characters on the bottom of the page. the bottom characters are all in darker and more neutral colors, not taking away from the main character's focus in the design. this makes the rythm smooth and takes you all around the image. all of the proximity is taken up, and the image covers several planes, forground (characters on bottom) middle ground (the giant televison with the face in it) and the background (the text, buildings, and the rocket ship) all of these design principles add for an aestheticaly pleasing design.
