Comparison between the two documentaries

In my opinion, I think manufactured landscaped is more interesting and grabbing, because it has a strong concept behind it, even the execution was really excellent, I think it was an artistic, I love the way he pictured the industrial manufactured and let the picture speak, it opened my eyes to how manufactured are destroying this planet, I think it has changed my perception towards industry and made me look at it in a more sophisticated way.

Whereas, Running fence, was very boring, I got bored while watching it, I think the concept behind it wasn't very strong, it was a more art concept and not something global like the manufactured landscape, Also, I think the execution for the Running fence documentary was not very strong, it was boring, it didn't grab me to continue the movie.

Running Fence

Running Fence is an installation done by Christo and Jeanne Clade, the idea is to build a fence 24.5 miles long, and 18 foot high, extending across the hills of Sonoma and Marin counties in northern California. The documentary shows the struggle of building this fence from government and from people who lives there, and how they wanted to prevent the fence from being erected, the fence which was from white fabric, costed 3 million dollars, and was taken down after two weeks,

It look really a piece of art, It was a paradigm shift when you see people criticizing it and thinks that it's not an art,

The Weaving Design of Community

Isn't it so disgusting and immoral showing naked women posing for the real beauty for Dove, showing their bodies, this is not showing the real beauty in different sizes this is showing us how women have became a product in the ads, this is not respecting women, we don't need to see naked women we don't really need to see their bodies so we can see they are different sizes, and by the way these women don't have that ugly body, their bodies are beautiful they don't have scars or pregnancy effect they are smooth and beautiful, but it is still not respecting the women,

why do we have to show to all the world our naked bodies displayed in a busty street in, don't u feel it's humiliating women, especially respected and modest women who don't get naked in front of anyone, I really feel ashamed in front of all males when watching this ad. because in this ad you are talking about a good thing which is real beauty and then you pose a naked women witch is ambivalent, people will start see this as normal, because you associate it with something good, you are brainwashing people this is exactly like socially responsible advertising, in fact it is worst, because in this ad you are emphasizing that women should be naked and we should see their bodies,

Dove campaign for real beauty is another example of making full of use of the real beauty to advertise Dove,

Ethical Design Education

it's crucial for us a Graphic Designers to to care about this planet God created it to us, However, I think this issue is very exaggerated, it is overemphasize in all awareness posters, it has became a trend, everyone is wearing "Save the environment" T-shirt, but do they really know what it means. do they really understand the problem behind global warming. what difference does it make when "Design" magazine used recycle paper in the latest issue, seriously think about it, it doesn't make sense when i have a magazine filled with direct and indirect advertising and then all of a sudden I care about environment because that's what what they do in Japan, if she really cares about environment then make your issue talk about it, make an interview with people who are contributing to save this planet, but just making a whole issue by recycle paper isn't gonna solve the problem, and whether your issue is a recycle or a gold paper your target audience doesn't care because they don't realize the difference.

I know it is important to know about this issue but there is so many things that are high important to graphic designers to take into consideration other than this issue, Graphic Designers are spending their time and energy god gave it to them to make human being materialistic and to spend their money on buying and buying.

Manufactured Landscapes

as the proverb say "a picture is worth a thousands words"

Edward Burtynsky has proved in his documentary that pictures are more effective and influential than anything else.

I think this documentary has given me a paradigm shift in the global destruction that is made by humans, Edward Burtynsky was successful in opening our eyes to see the human destruction and the impact of our existence in this beautiful planet.

this documentary gave me an aesthtic experience with the shocking photos of the industrial work in China. just by showing the pictures of the factories was enough to realize how this industrialization and modernization is driving us to hell instead of serving us.

Who gets to say what to whom

Mr. Carlin said in 1991 "I got this immoral thing that called thinking and I'm not a good american because I like to form my own opinion, I have two rules, first rule, I don't believe anything the government tells me."

Media is changing our values and what we believe in, whenever you turn on News we hear about the terrorism countries axis of evil, give me a break, what about Israel and United states, millions of women are widow and children are orphans because of the peace american and Isreal are aiming to. what really irritates me is that everyone here believe this, literally we are indoctrinated by the media.

People who are controlling the media are only 0.5 % of the population. they are trying to indoctrinate their beliefs in every thing we watch, an animated film was made in 2007 called Persepolis, this is an example of a film that was made to to indoctrinate people into the next terrorism country. It is a propaganda, they do it for politics. bullshit. I don't believe anything media tells me, i believe the opposite of everything I hear.

after realizing how we are influenced by media especially after watching Fair and lovely ad in class, Let's try to answer this question, Who OWNS the MEDIA?
