Grand Junction In 1000 Words
Well first of all the reason that I am in Grand Junction Colorado is to attend Mesa State College. At Mesa State College I am studying graphic design and playing on the baseball team. I am a junior in school and an senior on the baseball team. I really like the town of Grand Junction.
One of the reasons that I like Grand Junction is the size of the town. I think that the size is great. It is not to small or too big. I have lived in a town much smaller (Lamar Colorado) and a town much bigger (Denver Colorado). I lived in Lamar for two years when i went to junior college there. I was born and raised in Arvada Colorado. Arvada is a suburb of Denver and only twenty minuets away. I think that Lamar is too small of a town and I think that Denver is too big of a town. I would not want to spend the rest of my life in either of those towns. I could see my self living in a town the size of Grand Junction.
The next reason that i like the town of Grand Junction is due to the fact that of all the outdoor activity that you can do. There is both mountains, lakes and dessert in Grand Junction. All this variety makes it easy to have lots of different activities that they can do. In the mountains you can do many summer and winter sports. the winter sports you can do are skiing, snow boarding, snow shoeing, and cross country skiing. some of the summer activities you can do are mountain biking and hiking. In the dessert you can ride dirt bikes, go shooting, and camping. At the many lakes you and go fishing, water skiing, and boating. I really like the outdoors and Grand Junction has lots of thing to do outdoors such as, hiking, fishing, camping, climbing, hunting, and many more.
There is also lots of good sights to see here, for example the monument is just one of the many. There is a good amount of stores and restaurants here. There is many large chain restaurants as well as home town style restaurants. There is also a mall in Grand Junction which has many well known department stores. In Grand Junction there is also lots of its own home town stores. This is a good thing because in really small towns there is no selection of a place to shop. There is very few options. In Grand Junction you have lots of variety to choose from.
Another good thing about Grand junction is the mild climate. The weather is really nice most of the year. It does not get to hot in the summer months. It also does not get to cold in the winter months. The weather has its highs and lows at times. For the most part the weather stays in the middle range of temperatures. This also allows you to be out doors more. This is a good thing if you like the outdoors.
I did not know very much about Grand Junction until I came here for school. I came here for school last fall. I had only been to Grand Junction a couple of times to play baseball tournaments when I was in little league. Since I am in school and playing baseball I really don’t have much time to experience much of the Grand Junction and the surrounding areas. Once I am done with school and baseball I can not wait to see what more Grand Junction and its surrounding areas have to offer. I really like the school here. I have made lots of good friends in Grand Junction. There are lots of really good and fun people to hang out with here. The people the are from here are very nice people.
There is lots of fun stuff to do with and around Mesa State College. I attend lots of the sporting events as well as some of the events that are put on by the college. I enjoy supporting the other sports programs that we have at Mesa State College. I go watch football games, basketball games, volleyball games, soccer games and softball games. I like doing any thing that has to do with sports.
There are many more sports that the college participates in that can be watched. All of these games are a reasonable price to attend. If you have not been to one of these events I suggest that you attend an event that interests you. There is lots of sporting events that take place in Grand Junction. One of the major sporting events that goes on in Grand Junction in the junior college world series. This event brings people from all over the county to come play and watch baseball. I have been to this event and every game that takes place comes close to selling out. Everyone from the Grand Junction that has an interest in sports attends this event. This event is held and Stocker stadium. The price to attend these games is also a very good deal. This event alone brings lots money to the city.
There are very good hotels to stay at when you come visit this event or any time you come to visit. There is also an air port in Grand Junction. This makes it very easy to come to Grand Junction from were ever you are coming from. This way you don’t have to drive through the mountains to get here. There are mountains surrounding Grand Junction so any way that you would have to drive here you would have to come through the mountains. There is a small town feel with a little larger town. I can see lots of different types of people wanting to come visit this Grand Junction. There is many different things that you can do when you come to visit Grand Junction.

Rape Research
What are public perceptions of this theme?
When rape is mentioned in the media it normally reports on a brutal rape case that took place in an unfamiliar place, late at night, and that was committed by a minority. These are the cases that are most reported, but there are other cases that are much different and not as gory.
What is the problem?
The problem with this issue is that people only think that raps can take place in a dark ally at night by a minority. When this is not true. People tend to not think that they are not in danger in the middle of the day, when there are people around, and when they are not around a minority group. These people tend to not be prepared and let their guard down and this is when they are in the most danger.
Who is affected?
Really any one can be affected by the act of rape. The most common are younger women. Overall women in general are more affected by rape but a man can be raped as well.
What are the causes?
Rape can cause many unwanted things. Such as unexpected pregnancy and every thing that goes along with this. For example abortion. Another problem is STD’s that can be transfered. There can also be physical pain as well as mental pain that one goes through.

1)What is the purpose of the ad your bringing in?
The purpose of this ad is to introduce a new body wash for men. This body wash is better than other products because it not only cleans your body it hydrates your skin as well. This ad’s intentions are to make you buy this product.
2)Who is the intended audience?
The intended audience of this product would be men. I would say that any age man that would like his body wash to clean and hydrate his skin at the same time. I think that most likely age range to buy this product would be between 18 and 30.
3)What does the advertisement look like?
The advertisement has an image of a man using the the product. The image takes up most of the page. At the bottom of the page there is an image of the product as it would appear in the store. I think that this is very effective because if some one saw this ad and wanted to go buy the product they would have a reference and know what they were looking for. The the right of the product is a short description of the the product is and what is so good about it. In the very bottom right corner is the company logo and slogan. Where the text is located there is a gradient band so the text is not lost in the image. This band is placed over the image. The colors of the product are used in the though out the entire ad. The colors in the ad are very masculine colors. This was a good choice because of the target audience being men.
4)How does the visual and textual content of the ad work together to create a persuasive argument?
These two work together very well. the text is al white and placed on different color backgrounds to emphasize the more important parts. As well as the use of different sizes of text. The text is all located on the gradient band that was placed on top of the image this helps the visibility of it as well as separates it from the image.
5)Which of Neumeier’s Seven levels of communication are prominently used in this ad?
I think that one law that works good with this ad is sensation because this gives the viewer a sensation of being fresh and clean. The colors help give this feeling. The other law that works well is identification. Any one that would be interested in this product would recognize the brad. Gillete as made good men’s products for many years.
6)What are the cultural values promoted in this advertisement?
One cultural value that could is being promoted is the is ad is being in good shape and having good hygiene. In our cultural people are looked down on if they do not have good hygiene. They also used a man that was in good shape which would lead you to believe that if you use this product that you can have a body like him.
7)What works or doesn't work about this advertisement?
I think that every thing about this ad works well. The text in somewhat of a text box works well. Also the colors that were used work well together.
