The article FREAK FACTOR explains how people can overcome their weaknesses in a business setting, and even in life. The author explains how you should focus less on trying to change yourself, and focus more on how you can work around your weaknesses to overcome them. He also talks about building on your strengths so that your weaknesses are less apparent. I find all of these suggestions to be very valid, and very helpful and they have opened my eyes on how to improve on myself.

3. Flawless- There's Nothing Wrong With You
This part of the article suggests that there is nothing actually wrong with anybody, but everyone does have their own strengths and weaknesses. Instead of looking at a weakness as something that is wrong with you, the author suggests that you treat a weakness as just a part of who you are as a unique person. I can implement this into my career in media by exposing my weaknesses, working on them, and building my strengths to be the best person that i can be.

5. Foundation- Build On Your Strengths
I liked the idea that this part of the article brings forth because it suggests that strengths will come naturally and are easy to build upon. The author says that strengths are built around things that you do well and will come naturally as you do the things that you love. I believe this to be true, and I will definitely use this advice to make sure that I find my strengths early in my career and exploit them to get things done while liking my job.

7. Fit- Find The Right Spot
This was a very interesting paragraph because it suggested that we all fit in a certain place, but we just have to find it. To clarify his point, the author used the example of rudolph the red nosed reindeer where he didn't fit in with the other reindeer, but he eventually found his place and lived happily. This is definitely an interesting point and I believe it to be true because everyone has interests of some sort; you just have to find people that have the same interests as you. I believe that this is exactly what the author is suggesting that people should do, which is a really valid point. By finding people that i fit in with, I can work well with them and move forward through my media career faster and be more successful.

When reflecting back on my own strengths and weaknesses, I know that I am outgoing, funny, good listener, and good with group work, but on the other hand I am not very open minded and I can get too focused on one thing really easily. I believe that my weaknesses can be easy to work around and my strengths can be easily exposed to propel me through my media career.

For this project, I believe that this group did a very good job at showing the contrast and affinity between the hero and the villain. The hero is quite obviously a lot brighter than the villain, and in contrast, the villain is a lot darker than the hero. Along with the brightness of the two characters, the colors that were chosen also reflected the character's incentives. The colors of the hero are blue and yellow which are very soft and can be linked to things with good intentions. In contrast, the colors of the villain are dark colors like black and red which are linked to evil intentions. Another thing that was done very well is the use of saturation. The villain's colors seem to be more saturated than the heros making them seem a lot deeper and darker as opposed to the lightness of the hero.
