Design and Layout is an important element in our everyday life. In designing we plan and visualize the arrangement of the things that we do. While in layout, we implement the design that we want. Everyday, or perhaps during weekends, we design our outfits and layout them according to what we think will look good for you. Architects have a blueprint for their plan and engineers apply their design. In journalism, writers, too, plan what to write and implement them in their final article. As the head of the Creative Department of our school publication, we focus on the look and feel of our newsmag. We, along with the editorial board, design how the final output will be and my staff do the layout. Here is a PowerPoint presentation that I prepared for my lecture on Desktop Publishing during the Journalism Seminar that we conducted at St. Joseph School. Enjoy!

Review 3.3: Presto!
Genre: Comedy / Slapstick
Type of Animation: 3D Animation
Creator: Pixar
PRESENTATION OF STORY
OVER-ALL
This short animation is included in the release of Pixar's latest movie Wall-E. It is about a magician who struggled to execute his hat trick because of his hungry rabbit. He ends up hurting himself whenever he tries to do a move but the crowd loves it. It is a hilarious short clip that would surely knock you off your seat. The bunny was very cute especially when asks for the carrot. The music was a very good factor for the comedy as well as the facial reactions of the characters.
Review 3.2: Heavenly Sword: Legend of the Sword
Genre: Epic / Action
Type of Animation: 2D Animation
Creator: PlayStation
PRESENTATION OF STORY
OVER-ALL
This short animation is an excellent example of a good 2d animation. Sometimes animation becomes very flat but this film executes a 3d space using 2d animation. The sound was good and the narration was convincing. The screenplay was well written. The animation was undoubtedly good. It has a film noir feel and the actions were patterned to comics. The story was also interesting. Overall, it was amazing.
