Mark Zuckerberg

Mark Zuckerberg founded Facebook on February 4th, 2004. He went to Harvard. Three other students who went to Harvard accused Zuckerberg of making them think the website would be called "HarvardConnection.com", but the case was dismissed. There has been a movie based on Facebook. It is about what Zuckerberg went through to build the website and all of his legal troubles. It was released on October 1, 2010.

Another legal issue that Zuckerberg went through was that a man named Paul Ceglia claimed that he has 84% of the company and wanted money. Ceglia said he and Zuckerberg signed a contract that for an initial fee gave Ceglia 50% of the website's revenue. Zuckerberg said he never signed this agreement.

Logos



The Starbucks logo is my favorite logo, and Cazz's Sports Bar and Grille is the ugliest. Starbucks' logo is very nice, you can read it clearly and it has good colors and contrasting colors. Cazz's logo is very ugly and hard to read. It has bad colors, they are very flourescent and bright, which make it hard to read.

Red Robin Critique

Red Robin's website is very well designed. The colors are perfect, a lot of red and yellow. There is more red than yellow. There is a lot of color but not too much. The shapes are also good. They are mostly offset rectangles which bring out the colors and the whole site very much.

The lines of Red Robin's site are also nice. Mostly all of the lines are double and different colors. For example, the outline of the rectangles are yellow and another outline is red. This site is very easy to use. The links are very easily found and used. Also, right on the homepage is the "menu and locations" search, which makes it very easy.

This website is also easy to navigate. The links are clearly found and used. The site is big but still used easily. Nothing is oversized, it is all he perfect size. One thing I like about this site is how interactive it is. Another thing I like is how well it is all layed out. Red Robin's use of images is awsome. They show very appetizing pictures of their food.

Photograph

The photograph I have chosen to do is this : http://www.lat34.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/05/james_stewart_1_lrg.jpg

I chose this photograph because it is an amazing photo and part of one my favorite things to do, race motocross. This photo have very good quality and very clear. I like it because it is mainly focused on the rider, not the backround. The rider is very clear while the backround and spectators are blurred.

This is at the Los Angeles Sueprcross track. It is part of the AMA (American Motorcycle Association) professional series. There are many tracks, but this one is my favorite. The rider went off of a jump and did a "whip".

The rider in this picture is James Stewart. He is number 7. This photo was taken by Warren Price Photography.
