Walt Disney Company

Mission Statement
The mission of The Walt Disney Company is to be one of the world's leading producers and providers of entertainment and information. Using our portfolio of brands to differentiate our content, services and consumer products, we seek to develop the most creative, innovative and profitable entertainment experiences and related products in the world.


It describes well that the company offers entertainment and information. It doesn't really describe the company well, they don't say why they do what they do but they describe what they do, also they don't describe the markets they serve even though this is a large part of their company. This statement could contain some more information but in general is ok.







Hershey's Company

Mission Statement
Undisputed Marketplace Leadership


In this business the goal is to be at the top of any contender, in the Candy industry. Hershey's creates some of the worlds cheapest Candies with a unique flavor. This mission statement isn't very good, I think that it describes little and tries to be short but good but fails. This mission statement really doesn't describe anything and only states the goal of the company in two words. This mission statement isn't good and is too brief... It doesn't describe the functions or what the company produces.

  1. One thing that was difficult or frustrating about the HTML project was...
One thing that really frustrated me was that at some time one got completely lost inside the code and one couldn't find his way. I would try to locate an image to change it and I would have to look for 3 minutes on the html page. I think that there should be a better way to organize the html, images here, text here, and so on, to not get lost so much. I think that the project was fun because the product was visible right away.
2. One thing that was fun or easy about the HTML project was...

I think the variety of tags and their different functions were cool. I could play around with this and make some cool effect on my site and they made my site look better when properly used with the surrounding elements and its context. The site as a whole looked well when I made every page with its specific color and every page had different pictures. Every sites text worked differently to bring in a different variety of elements.
3. If I could do the project again, one thing I would do differently is...

One thing that i would want to do differently is to find some more tags and then make the site have some cooler effects. Also i would like to make a link so that people could send comments to my email. I couldn't figure out how to do this because it would require of a link to some other page which would access the internet of the person and redirect them. This would be hard.

4. One thing I learned about building websites is...

I learned many things but between these I think that most surprising of all was that you could create a whole website with the most primitive program on any computer. Who would have guessed that websites with such a high level of complexity as any on the web could be created with just notepad. Also i think that I learned much about computers, shortcuts and other things related to fast working... Not to mention everything i learned form Html, I l;earned basic structure, advanced structures, CSS, And on my own some cool tags. In the end I think this was a very fruitful project.

Point to Ponder 4

If it keeps up, man will atrophy all his limbs but the push-button finger. ~Frank Lloyd Wright


This quote is from the same lot as all the others, slightly pessimist. The human mind has intertwined into itself to such a point that what he creates can actually surpass its creators, it is amazing and quite the hard concept to grasp. When you analyze the idea of atrophy and you apply it to the whole idea of our laziness and its product, you come to the conclusion that maybe this will happen, but not with our muscles, as much as with our minds. Our minds, after a complete lack of necessity but for the obvious, will devolute, making our minds only contains the needed for the management of all the instruments. Our whole brain will go down levels of Intelligence and rationalization that took us ages to gain. We will be completely dependent on these implements, and our body will most probably follow the body, becoming completely useless, except for the needed, in the computers case, the push-button finger.

Point to Ponder 3

"Soon silence will have passed into legend. Man has turned his back on silence. Day after day he invents machines and devices that increase noise and distract humanity from the essence of life, contemplation, meditation...tooting, howling, screeching, booming, crashing, whistling, grinding, and trilling bolster his ego. His anxiety subsides. His inhuman void spreads monstrously like a gray vegetation." ~Jean Arp



This quote talks about silence. That most of us don't know the sound of silence anymore, silence is something that is incomprehensible if not felt physically, it is like the color of nothing. You do not know it and you can't really reproduce it in your imagionation. Now silence is a sound of less noise, but silence is the extrenme factor that can cause our minds to fly into other dimensions, that lets our bodies rest in perfect harmony with its environment and lets us be what we have always wanted to be.
Machines break this, perverting our perception of this beautiful concept. Making us loose any notion of this human nature defying idea.

Typography Project Questionaire

Author: Oliver A. /

  1. Why did you choose this particular poem for the Typoetry project?
I chose this poem because I found in it the bravery. simplicity, humor, and obvious truth that i like in poems. Not a dreadfully long, detailed poem on the topic of the left antenna on a giant dung beetle. I thought this poem also was good to depict on a paper.

2. Explain how your Typoetry project interprets the meaning of your chosen poem using typography. Explain the choice of fonts and design in the interpretation of your poem.

I put the poem on paper, in a wquite literary way. The visual reader will see and old man and a little boy and an equal sign. I believe this poem shows quite well that extremities touch, the extremely civilized with the primitive art, the old man, and the little boy, the extremely "complex" modern art, and any kids drawing. I chiose courir new as a font because it is a very malleable font that can be used to create shapes easily.

  1. If you could do the project again, what would you change about it?
I think I wouldn't change enything, yet, I haven't gotten the grade, I haven't finished it, and I haven't even seen it on a printed piece of paper.

Pont To Ponder 2

One machine can do the work of fifty ordinary men. No machine can do the work of one extraordinary man. ~Elbert Hubbard, The Roycroft Dictionary and Book of Epigrams, 1923

I think that this quote, even though it might be a bit enthusiastic, is true.
It also states that the machine isn't better then a extroardinary man, because the extraordinary person is someone, idealy, who has has a flexible but yet stern mind, fixed and right values, a brilliant mind and a wonderful way for turning ideas to reality. An extraordinary man is a completely theoretical idea which isn't physically palpable for the Human being, unless you believe in God. As for a computer doing a job for 50 people i really doubt this isn't an idea of strenghts and smart as of time. It doesn't take a man 1 second to find the 1million digits of pie but it would take him approximatley a month. I think that in the end this quote is a very interesting one, one which leads into the depths of imagination and takes you to rationalize and think it over.
