The video gave me goosebumps. It was about how incorporating art into children's lives is so important. 95% of the children participating at InnerCity Arts go to college in an area where 75% don't graduate high school. Art has as big of an impact as math and science do on kids and kids need that creative outlet.
The infographic was interesting. It gives a lot of perspective on fuel. We should bike. :)
I also like the GOOD magazine issue 018. It was a timeline of the big bang to now. It was a simple but clear idea. In the magazine was also an article about making elevators slower and smaller. The Cooper Union has an elevator which stops on only three of eight floors. COOLEST IDEA EVER. It forces people to use stairs but if they really are in a hurry they can have a little help. My only concern is disabilities. How do wheelchairs get around? Are there ramps from floor to floor? Otherwise I think it's a great way to get people motivated to take stairs.. I also like to take the stairs because sometimes I discover new things. Like the secret tunnel in the Union.
GOOD talks about all kinds of issues and topics in a very creative way. They are all about spreading creativity and saving the world. They talk a lot about the environment and education, design, current hot topics, business and all sorts of other things.
Watching the video "The State of the Planet" was really good. It was informing and easy to follow. Transitions were smooth and the connections between transitions were nice. I think that the style was really good to because it all looked consistent and it didn't have too much detail that that was the only part I paid attention to.
The second video though—The Hidden Cost of War—was sooo much better. The pacing worked better since it was a little faster which keeps things a little more interesting and makes you more excited to watch and not get bored. The transitions were also wayy better, they just came smoother and a lot more connected—even though "The State of the Planet" was really connected. This one was just easier to follow, super smooth, good music, and good pace. The sound effects were definitely helpful too since it made it so much more followable. You knew which part you were at exactly because there was a sound other than the background music to be on it too.
