John Henry Alvin

John Alvin was born on November 24, 1948, in Hyannis, Massachusetts. His parents were in the United States military, so Alvin and his family moved around often early in his life. He and his parents finally settled down in Monterey, California, when Alvin was in high school. His interest in movie posters began early in life and he looked forward to the Sunday newspaper as a child so he could peruse the latest movie advertisements. Alvin graduated from the Art Center College of Design in Los Angeles in 1971. He worked as a freelance artist after his graduation.

BLADE RUNNER - What I like about the design of blade runner, which is an element we can see carry over to numerous other film posters is the two main character(s) up n the top right corner, as a scene plays out below them.

THE LION KING - John Alvin continus his use of the main character in a central position, as a major scene, the circle of life, is portrayed below/ Bright colors and the beam of light make clear that the main character has a huge role to play.

HARRY POTTER 1 & 2 - Alvin arrays all of the Harry Potter characters in his poster, with the main characters at the central position. He also gives us a sense of the scenery by putting hogwarts in the background.

*John Alvin has also designed movie posters fro blade runner, jurassic park, the lord of the rings trilogy, and ET.

A History of the Internet

1.) List 5 applications of the internet. In other words, what is it good for?

Research and Homework
Social Networking - Enables people to connect with and keep in tough with people all over the world.
Email - Useful in both the professional and personal spheres, email allows us to connect and communicate with others, submit work, and keep up to date.
YouTube - A place to watch/post music, movies, viral videos, news stories, video games, etc.
Shopping - Well people like to spend money People also dont like to exert the energy to go to a shop. And so eBay and amazon were born.
Online games - World of Warcraft, League of Legends, Dawn of the Ancients, etc.
Business/Professional Development - Nowadays the internet is one of the best ways to promote yourself. Filmmakers and artists especially use the internet as a way to connect, gain funding, and present their comleted work.
Online Dating - People are connecting with others though internet and finding their life partners. The internet not only helps to find the right person but also to continue the relationship.

2.) What are stand alone computers?

A 'standalone computer' is the one which is not linked with the network. It can't be connected with the internet or LAN or WAN. A standalone computer simply means that it can't receive or transfer information to other computers. Also, you can't browse or check e-mail in a standalone computer.

3.) What is the main principle behind the telephone network?

The main principle behind the telephone network is to provide easy and quick communication between two people over long distances,

4.) How is the telephone network and the principle behind the internet different?

The telephone requires both users to be active in the communication, while with the internet only one user must be "online"

5.) What were the first internet applications?

The very first internet application was electronic mail.

6.) What is a killer app?

A software package that is novel and desirable enough to persuade a consumer to buy pricier hardware in order to run the application. The term "killer application" may be derived from the fact that such an application is perceived to be innovative enough to overcome the competition.

Better known as "killer app."

7.) In your opinion what is the internets 'killer app'

A killer app in my opinion is a program put in another piece of hardware that is often totally revolutionary. Facebook could be considered a killer app because it completely revolutionized the way people connect and interact.

8.) What is an IP address and how is it assigned?

An IP address is a unique string of numbers separated by periods that identifies each computer attached to the Internet. IP addresses are assigned either automatically by DHCP, or by manual configuration.

9.) There is a well known principle that inspired the internet original design called "The End to an End Principle" Find out more about this principle and explain how it applies to the internet.

"...functions placed at low levels of a system may be redundant or of little value when compared with the cost of providing them at that low level."
•If you need to do something at the end of connection, why bother with doing it in the middle too? •If you don’t attempt to do in the middle what you have to do at the end, the network is simpler, more open and better

•Having application state in the network is stupid–keep it at the endpoints"

10.) In your opinion how will the internet change in the future?

I'm not sure exactly how the internet will change over the years, ut I will say that if we keep going down the road we are going, I believe that the internet will become much more free and open, especially in the realm of information and research.

PAINTBALL ARENA:

http://www.dafont.com/paintball.font

I chose this font because I felt it made very clear what it was advertising. Also it would give any paintball arena a more friendly and welcoming look.

ENERGY DRINK

http://www.dafont.com/vermin-vibes.font

This font conveys a very modern, energetic feeling. The sharp, slanted lines make it look appealing and make it look like you'll be full of energy while drinking it.

LONDON CUPCAKE STAND

http://www.dafont.com/tastysundae.font

This is pretty self explanatory. It's a cupcake stand - the sign/font is made of cupcakes.

YOUNG GIRLS DOLL

http://www.dafont.com/loveletters.font

This font has a very whimsical, young, girly look to it. Perfect for a cute children's doll.

SCARY HEAVY METAL BAND

http://www.dafont.com/cold-night-for-alligators.font

Covered in gore and bloody hand prints, this font would be an ideal choice for a crazy heavy metal band.

ARAB RESTAURANT IN DUBAI

http://www.dafont.com/xxii-arabian-onenightstand.font

Well, it's an Arabian restaurant, with an arabian calligraphy style sign.....

RETRO BOWLING ALLEY

http://www.dafont.com/budmo.font

For me this is very reminiscent of the old-timey 50's signs with the giant bulbs lighting them up. It conveys a retro feel to any establishment.

IOWA FUNERAL HOME

http://www.dafont.com/chopin-script.font

VERY professional, classy, and respectable looking. And thats what you'd want the person handling you're loved one's body to be/

WALL STREET LAW FIRM

http://www.fontspace.com/luke-owens/broadsheet-ldo

Like times new roman, it's professional and inside the box. Just like Wall street.

IDK, but well....... hey mr Berg it's mocking comic sans!!!!! :)

CALIFORNIA SURF SHOP

http://www.dafont.com/venue-on-the-beach.font

Looks almost as tough waves are raging within the letters. The font is clean, modern, and very west coast.

SEATTLE COFFEE SHOP

http://www.fontspace.com/david-kerkhoff/dk-early-morning-coffee

Personally I think this has a very bohemian, seattle feel to it.
