Photoshop Video

I think the video on how celebrities use photoshop was really interesting. I wasn't very surprised because I've done a couple of essays on how women are portrayed in the media, I've watched a couple of videos on it as well and it's something that has really grabbed my attention. I think more videos should be made to get women's attention on this because I feel like this does affect our self-esteem way too often and maybe if we understood why photoshop is used so much on celebrities we wouldn't be so self conscious of our own bodies.

Adam Savage TED Talk

I thought the TED talk was really interesting. It made me think about how people who were curious enough about something went out and found answers. It isn't really about how smart you are but more about how driven you are and how much you want to find the answer.

Thoughts on The Gap by Ira Glass

I think Ira Glass gave some very helpful advice in his video. He basically said that as a beginner your work will not be as great as you think it is or want it to be, but you should not quit. Working more will make your work better, because what you start off with is taste and as long as you have that, you can be better.
