1. What is going on in this image? Carefully describe, OBJECTIVELY, what you see.
        a. Who are the figures? Describe.
        b. Are there any symbols present?

This image shows a car, types of popular foods and drinks, and different types of machines. There are also many attractive women tending to the man. I think the man in the center shows his power in America, while the women off to the side offering drinks are a symbol of America's view on submissive women. All of these pictures are of brands in the mid 1900s.

2. What opinion do you think the artist is trying to convey? Justify your reasoning with the clues offered in the image.

I believe the artist is trying to convey men and women roles in America, while also showing the consumerism taking place globally with American products.

Graphics Do Now Eclectic style


1. The person depicted in this piece of art is John F. Kennedy, the 35th president of the United States. Kennedy impacted American history by calling to action for equal rights, while dealing with the ongoing cuban missile crisis in the cold war. Unfortunately, Kennedy is most known for being the youngest president assassinated at age 46.

2. The space in this picture is very tight and geometric. The artist also uses repetition in JFK's fingers to show the importance of it. This picture as a whole is not realistic. All these real pictures are put together, making them not realistic.

3. The images in the art all relate to Kennedy's presidency. Military helicopters had to do with the increasing military force form the cold war and the Vietnam War. The Coca-Cola sign showed the transnational corporations and Coca-Cola's consumerism around the world. Lastly, the picture of the space craft was used to show Kennedy's expansion of NASA's space program.

Typography Do Now
























Clearview font, used nationally on traffic signs are now not being placed on new road signs. Many people are outraged at this fact because it is a font that is not a distraction to drivers, is more indistinguishable to people with weaker vision, and the open space in vowels make it easier to see.
