ACKNOWLEDGMENTS Most of the time, I skip over the acknowledgments section in a book. I just want to get to the part where the story is interesting. Or where the information is something that I want to learn. And, dear reader, this may very well be a boring section for you to read. But it is my favorite section to write. Because it’s about my people. My friends. My team. And I know that you probably don’t know these people. But you should. And that’s why I’m going to share a bit about them with you. Thank you to Holly - you’ve been there every step of the way. Through all of it. From the playground, to boyfriends, college, death, marriage, birth and divorce. You’ve seen me through more things than most people see in a lifetime. To Tina - my battle buddy. We’ve laid in the same muddy trench, protected each other from enemy fire, and have come back home stronger and better. Someday, we will sit around laughing. Swapping war stories with the younger moms. And we will look at each other. And smile. To James - thank you for waking me back up to adventure. Highway 20 rides, flea markets, bull rides and country music. Life wouldn’t be the same without you. To Kaitlyn - my niece, my friend. You’ve been my money muse, worthy opponent in the Rat Race, and oh So Money.

  • Thousands Unite in Golden Gate Park to Raise $1.8 Million for Aids Walk San Francisco
    Contact: Cub Barrett, AIDS Walk San Francisco [email protected] c: (917) 385-2422 THOUSANDS UNITE IN GOLDEN GATE PARK TO RAISE $1.8 MILLION FOR AIDS WALK SAN FRANCISCO Community leaders, celebrities, and longtime supporters come together to raise critical funds and awareness SAN FRANCISCO, CA (July 15, 2018) – Ten thousand people gathered together on Sunday in Golden Gate Park for the 32nd annual AIDS Walk San Francisco (AWSF), both in support of people living with HIV/AIDS and to defend the dignity and equality of vulnerable populations everywhere. Walkers raised $1.814 million this year in support of ACRIA, PRC, and Project Open Hand, as well as dozens of other Bay Area HIV/AIDS service organizations. “AIDS Walk San Francisco provides us with the opportunity to not only show our support for those affected by HIV/AIDS, but to bring attention to the fact that people living with HIV/AIDS need unique services—especially as they age,” said Kelsey Louie, Executive Director of ACRIA. “We’re grateful that so many Bay Area folks came out to support the Walk, and that they continue to support the dozens of organizations throughout the region that are helping people make real progress in their lives.” The 10-kilometer Walk took place entirely within Golden Gate Park, with the start and finish lines at Robin Williams Meadow. The day began with the Macy’s Star Walker and VIP Breakfast, followed by the Macy’s Aerobic Warm-Up from the main stage led by fitness celebrity Bethany Meyers. At the Opening Ceremony, celebrities included Barrett Foa (NCIS: Los Angeles), Nico Tortorella (Younger), Dale Soules (Orange is the New Black), and longtime supporter ABC-7 news anchor Dan Ashley.

    Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres by Vivian Le A THESIS submitted to Oregon State University Honors College in partial fulfillment of the requirements for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems (Honors Scholar) Presented May 29, 2020 Commencement June 2020 AN ABSTRACT OF THE THESIS OF Vivian Le for the degree of Honors Baccalaureate of Science in Accounting and Business Information Systems presented on May 29, 2020. Title: Visual Metaphors on Album Covers: An Analysis into Graphic Design’s Effectiveness at Conveying Music Genres. Abstract approved:_____________________________________________________ Ryann Reynolds-McIlnay The rise of digital streaming has largely impacted the way the average listener consumes music. Consequentially, while the role of album art has evolved to meet the changes in music technology, it is hard to measure the effect of digital streaming on modern album art. This research seeks to determine whether or not graphic design still plays a role in marketing information about the music, such as its genre, to the consumer. It does so through two studies: 1. A computer visual analysis that measures color dominance of an image, and 2. A mixed-design lab experiment with volunteer participants who attempt to assess the genre of a given album. Findings from the first study show that color scheme models created from album samples cannot be used to predict the genre of an album. Further findings from the second theory show that consumers pay a significant amount of attention to album covers, enough to be able to correctly assess the genre of an album most of the time.
