...Adobe Creative Suite Technical Paper I will choose to write my paper of Adobe Creative Suite. I don’t have time to talk about them all so I will talk about the following: Dreamweaver Photoshop Acrobat Illustrator Fireworks Application Name: Adobe Creative Suite Category: Series of software suites by Adobe Systems Purpose: “Adobe Creative Suite (CS) was a series of software suites of graphic design, video editing, and web development applications made or acquired by Adobe Systems. The collections consisted of various groupings of Adobe's applications (e.g., Photoshop, Acrobat, InDesign, Premiere Pro, After Effects) based on various technologies (e.g., PostScript, PDF, Flash) and organized by industry. The last version, Adobe Creative Suite 6 (CS6), was launched at a release event April 23, 2012, and released on May 7, 2012.[1] On May 6, 2013 Adobe announced that CS6 would be the last version of the Creative Suite,[2][3][4] and that future versions of their creative software would only be available via their Adobe Creative Cloud subscription service. Adobe also announced that it would continue to support CS6 for OS compatibility and would provide bug fixes and security updates as necessary.[5] The Creative Suite packages were pulled from Adobe's online store,[6] but still remain available via a section of their website.[7].”(Source 6) Opinion: I really enjoy using Dreamweaver, it helps speed up web development, and helps to keep sites organized....

...Creative Spark Paper PHL/458 Creative Minds and Critical Thinking July 7, 2014 Abstract In the video John Bohannon, a scientist and writer, gives a presentation which takes place in November 2011 at an international convention hosted TED in Brussels, Belgium. Bohannon introduces a modest proposal for easing our economic financial burden through the use of dance vice power point presentations. The idea first came to Bohannon during a conversation with a friend who is physicist at the Massachusetts Institute of Technology (MIT). His friend was struggling to explain a scientific experiment on “lasers could be used to cool down matter”. Science is a subject where the more words that are spoken the more confusing it becomes. Therefore by the end of the conversation with his friend, Bohannon, was more confused. Then thought the experiment could have been explained more clearly through dance. Dance vs. PowerPoint As I scanned the list of Creative Spark videos I decided to make my selection based on the title that grasped my attention. I eventually narrowed it down to three. However the first video that I watched was titled “Dance vs. power point, a modest proposal by John Bohannon and the only one. In no way shape or form am I a science buff. Therefore when his presentation captured and maintained my attention that spoke volumes. Bohannon makes the statement, “bad power point presentations are a serious threat to our global economy” while it sounds like a ridiculous...

...Demonstrative Communication Tom Johnson BCOM/275 October 7, 2013 Sally Walters Demonstrative Communication Demonstrative Communication can be summed up as a non-verbal communication which includes facial expressions, body language and the use of signs to communicate. Non-verbal can be such things as eye contact or tone of voice. Body language is very useful communication by giving a facial expression or certain types of body posture. Signs can be used to tell someone to stop or be quite. “Communication is an exchange of information via verbal or written messages and is the process of sending and receiving messages.” (Communication.2010: Cheesebro. And Rios, 2010). For any communication to take place there must be a sender and a receiver. Without a sender and receiver there can be no communication between two parties. Communication is an integral part of my job at UPS. There is communication between employees, supervisors and the management team. One prime example I can think of that has happened at work was between me and another co-worker a few years back. I walked into work and said good morning to everyone like I do everyday. One co-worker wasn’t there yet so as soon as she walked in I gave her a big smile and her reaction was a nasty little frown. Considering I was the sender, the smile was a way of communicating to my co-worker that it was nice to see them. It was a positive affirmation of how are you doing today. The response...

...In writing my synthesis paper as well as the reflection done in week 9 discussion I have modified and refined my writing style as well as my approach to this essay to get a successful outcome. My goals for where this essay is going to go has definitely changed from what I want to present and argue. This mentality has come from the commentary given to me by the other students to push my ideas further, to develop the basic idea of my essay and maturing it into a more creative realm. For the drafting aspect of the paper I have begun constructing the bare bones of the paper, outlining what I want to discuss in the paper, how I want to present it, self-workshopping the body paragraphs and transitions, as well as composing a well thought out thesis that encapsulates all of my ideas into one argument. I have been going through my annotated...

...The hate side of my relationship with writing stems from school. This is because most of the writing assessments dont allow me to have creative freedom. 9 times out of 10 we have to write about something like why we love school (we don't) or sometime you had to do something specific that you can't remember ever doing. And then when you get to write something that has a plot instead of a 5 paragraph essay about why school shouldn't be start earlier, you have to write from a prompt that sounds like something you would find in a children's story contest. I understand why we are given prompts, i just wish we could have more creativity with them instead of writing with a specific prompt. That is why i partly hate writing. The love side of my...

...Coming into Carleton, I was terrified at the idea of having to write at a college level. I had only written one big paper in High School and I had no idea how to do research. It was a hard experience and I had to push myself to a point that allowed me to present data in the best way possible. Thankfully, friends and the Writing Center were there at every step of my development into a confident writer. Aside from that, some of the most rewarding projects at Carleton were surprisingly assigned papers. They allowed me to express myself in a way that I had not previously experienced. It allowed me to incorporate my love for linear mathematical thinking into a less restrictive medium. And most importantly, I was able to immortalize my grandmother’s...

...Week 5 Journal Entry Lisa Clarke October 8, 2015 Keeping a journal has benefiting me and help improve my writing skills in a few ways. I have never kept a Journal before because I kept everything I was thinking inside my head. Keeping a journal has allowed me to put all my thoughts and ideas on paper. When I was able to see my ideas on paper it allowed me to become more creative. I played around with my ideas to come up with outlines for my assignments. I was able to use my journal as reference to go back to track my everyday movements and whereabouts and also write what I was thinking on those days. Keeping a journal can also help me with my writing skills because I am able to just write freely without judgment. I can transfer what I from my journal to help me come up with a topic for a paper. October 8, 2015 In regards to mechanics, usage and organization with my writing I have improved. Even though I still need improvement the writing skills labs did help me become aware of my weaknesses and strengths in writing. I have become more aware of how to improve sentence structure but I need to practice more on when to use certain punctuation like comma, semicolon and when to use quotation marks. I also learned about developing thesis and topic sentences but this is also an area that I need to improve on. I definitely will be referring back to the writing skills labs when I need to clarify the mechanics, usage and organization of all writing...

...Let’s say that it’s the night before your paper is due. You get a snack, get comfortable in your chair, and start to write. You type your paper and have met all the requirements that your teacher has asked expect one last thing… you have to share the essay in Google Drive with the rest of your group mates. You go to your internet browser to try and send the file and realize that your internet is out because your mom hasn’t paid the bill yet. So you tell yourself, “I’ll just go to campus early tomorrow and do it in the library.” You forget to set the alarm clock and don’t wake up early enough to go to the library. “Oh my goodness! My mom didn’t wake me up!” You rush to class and its 11:01. The assignment was due at 11:00 and your teacher said that she’s not taking any late work. You beg and plead with her and...

...Steps to writing a proper white paper… Use a Linear, Logical Approach: a white paper must be educational, not promotional in tone. And should posses the following objectives: It must attract the right audience. White papers are highly audience specific, it is better to write white papers tailored toward different groups of stakeholders. Must engage the reader; engage by showing them that you understand their problem and that you can “relate”. Or by quickly showing mastery of the subject, through good clear writing. It must inform your reader. Written more like an objective magazine article than a sales brochure. they should objectively present a problem, the business case for solving the problem, and alternative ways of solving the problem. Therefore, the reader gains knowledge from having invested the time to read the paper. Ultimately the reader feels informed, not sold. It must convince your reader; to convince reader to give your organisation consideration based information that you have presented. Example, if your product has a high up-front cost but lower maintenance costs, your paper might include an analysis of ongoing “hidden” costs and a ROI model that shows how a high initial investment might actually be more cost-effective over the life of the purchase. Your Title Is Key to Success of Paper: A creative, meaningful title drives readership, whether you promote your paper online, distribute it at a conference, or pitch it to trade magazine editors.

...English language, as well. He told how he found grammar to be boring and writing papers were much like completing a chore. Russell stated that reading classic novels were “deadening as chloroform” (Baker, 1982). He explained in the except that he did care to write essays because they seemed tedious to complete and difficult for others to read and comprehend in the manner that the author wrote it. I agree with this feeling because the content is usually presented in a dull manner, which causes students to lose interest in the topic. If teachers allow students to be more creative with their writing, such as writing about personal interests, I think it would make the subject more appealing. Further along in the story, Baker describes his junior year of high with his English teacher, Mr. Feagles. He tells us that Mr. Feagles was “prim to a fault” (Baker, 1982) and removed from reality with his expectations for the class. One of the course assignments was an informal essay, in which Baker procrastinated on due to his lack of interest. Before the assignments’ due date, he perused the list of available topics, until he settled on “The Art Of Eating Spaghetti”. The title of the topic took his mind back to his childhood when his family would enjoy a dinner where the meal was spaghetti. The overwhelming feeling persuaded Baker to not only complete the assignment but to exceed the expectation by writing two papers....

...are often used interchangeably to describe work which previously was done with paper, but which now has been adapted to information & communication technology (ICT) devices and software. The Information Technology Association of America (ITAA) has defined information technology (IT) in the electronic era as "the study, design, development, implementation, support or management of computer-based information systems, particularly software applications and computer hardware." IT entails processes involving the use of computers and software to create, convert, store, process, transmit, and retrieve information securely. The term has recently been broadened to ICT (Information and Communications Technology), so as to include the idea of electronic communication. To be paperless means essentially that the traditional paper-based practices-such as writing, note taking, reading, editing, communicating, and even drawing-are instead performed electronically with ICT devices and software. Much has been said and written about the paperless office in recent years, and the rapid development of ICT is enabling an increasing number of paperless practices. The relationship between paperless work styles and ICT is intimate and interdependent; a paperless work and lifestyle cannot be implemented without ICT, and the use of ICT should naturally lead to becoming paperless. Paradoxically, however, the consumption of paper has increased exponentially since the advent of personal...

...Putting Thoughts to Paper For several years in school, I dreaded writing academic papers because I found many of the topics monotonous, provoking little desire in me to work hard. The writing process intimidated me because I was often unaware as to where I should begin a paper and once I did, how I should develop my thoughts in an effective manner. My appreciation of writing, both academically and artistically, did not surface until my sophomore year in high school. When I transferred from public to private school, I realized that my writing skills were not as strongly developed as many of my fellow classmates. This feeling of inadequacy motivated me to seek help from my teachers and peers. By the end of first semester sophomore year, my...
