The Beginning of Brody’s Career
Neville Brody is one of the most influential art designers in the contemporary art world. He has created numerous works that challenged conventions of the graphic design. His creativity and his ideas have contributed greatly to the world of design. Brody is a London born artist who studied at the Homsey School of Art. He continued his studies at the London College of Printing.
He started his career in 1980 when he started working for Rocking Russian and then he joined Stiff Records. He created a variety of covers for albums. In 1981, he started working for The Face which was one of the most influential street magazines at that time. Brody was the art director of the magazine which became even more popular due to Brody’s creativity and boldness. He also published several books on graphic design which became very popular among the specialists of the same sphere. Some of his works are The Last Treatment, Zebra Club, Thirst by Clock.
Brody’s Project
Neville Brody started his own company in the 1990s. In 1994, his company was named Research Studio. The company has completed a number of significant projects. Thus, Brody and his company have recently developed a new “visual language” for ITV. Apart from creating new stunning works and running a company, Brody participates in a variety of projects.
More so, he started a very interesting project, Anti Design Festival, which is now held annually. The festival aims at giving creative artists an opportunity to express themselves and introduce new ideas. It is also a great opportunity “to produce completely new work without the imposition of market restrictions”. One of the major ideas of the festival is to challenge the conventions which tend to persist in the art world.
It is necessary to note that many of his works become inspirational examples for novel artists. Most of his works were commercially successful. Renowned publishers are eager to work with the designer. For instance, The Times, which had hard times in the 1990s, addressed Brody who reshaped the newspaper completely. Brody had a really great job as the newspaper managed to regain its popularity. Brody’s work included “the creation of a new font called Times Modern, a major restyling of the navigation of the newspaper, a new masthead, new crest, iconography, new weather icons, style-sheet layouts and suggestions for picture use/editing”. Notably, the artist also created a very helpful “total tool-kit”. It is possible to note that Brody taught The Times team to remain up-to-date and close to the reader.
Brody’s Very First Work
As has been mentioned above, his works often became sensational as each of them contained some novel idea, new approach, a brand-new vision. It is possible to analyze any of Brody’s works as one can find a variety of messages and lessons to learn. However, his very first work made for Rocking Russian is worth a particular attention. This is the cover for the album Love and Loneliness by The Motors. The artist notes that punk culture had a particular influence on him. Interestingly, it disgusted him first, but soon he found a profound meaning and roots of the culture. He learnt to be anarchistic. The first cover made was a kind of illustration of his readiness to be an art anarchist, a person to break many conventions.
The artist calls the cover a “pre-computer” work as computers were unavailable for artists at that time, they simply “did not exist” for graphic designers. This makes the work even more relevant. It is necessary to note that the artist combined three ‘conventional’ colors: black, white and red. However, the combination, i.e. the frame, itself was quite novel. The artist did not make a single background as all of these colors can be regarded as backgrounds. Brody used stripes of red color, which are really intriguing as it is unclear whether red or black or white is the background.
The images revealed are certain shadows whose presence is tangible but still uneven. The artist also stresses that they tried to use every possible space to fill it. The cover (inside out) and the record bear images. Importantly, every part of the design tessellates into a complete mosaic conveying specific ideas. The use of fonts against different backgrounds is also exceptional.
Brody’s Motto
The work is a certain kind of discourse between avant-garde and punk or more generally, pop culture. Avant-garde with its black fonts and images against the white background is challenged by the first Brody’s work. The major message the work conveys is revolution. The artist calls people for changing the very basis of their existence. The work reveals the idea of the complexity of the modern world that can be framed in really simple frames. Brody’s first work happened to become a certain motto or his manifesto. He has never betrayed his earliest inclinations. He has worked to change the art world. He has tried to use revolutionary approach to everything he could. Brody has succeeded as many graphic designers are inspired by Brody’s works and ideas. Novel artists are ready to create and break laws and conventions, which is the art itself.

Summarizing Data Assignment
Using a spreadsheet program such as Excel, create a histogram, bar chart, pie chart, scatterplot and timeline, using the instructions below. You may use any data that you find interesting, as long as the data is suited to the type of graph you are creating. Consider using health data, sports statistics, weather data, demographic data, etc.
If you don’t already have Excel, note that Lone Star College provides students with provides students with free access to Microsoft Office 365, which includes Excel, Word, PowerPoint, One Note, etc., and 1 TB of OneDrive storage. CLICK HERE to access.
Be sure to label each graph so that a reader would be able to understand what is being presented, even if they don’t look at your raw data. Include a title and all appropriate axes labels or other information, and include the units of measurement (for example, inches, centimeters, US Dollars, percent…) The title should not be “Histogram” or “Bar Chart,” but should explain the data you are displaying. Use a variety of styles, colors, etc., to illustrate that you know how to use the format and design tools. When you have completed all the graphs, save them all in one Excel file. You may use multiple tabs, if you choose. Submit the assignment via the dropbox provided by midnight on the date due.
1. Histogram – Using continuous data along the x-axis (for example, age at first marriage) and frequency (number reported that they were first married at that age) on the y-axis. There are a couple of ways of doing this. Although the second way listed below is a more complicated, this is a good opportunity to see what the Data Analysis tab has to offer. You only have to create one histogram, so you can choose either option 1 or 2 below (not both).
Histogram option 1:
Enter the data in a column.
Highlight that column.
Click on the Insert tab
Click the down arrow beside Charts to see a list of charts available
Click on Histogram.
Right click the numbers on the horizontal axis and select Format axis. Then choose Bin width and enter a nice round number that fits your data.
Checking the overflow or underflow boxes will allow you to determine the starting/ending points for your bins (intervals along the X axis).
Click Design under the Chart Tools tab and select Add Chart Elements to make sure you have a title and axes labels. (You may see a box with a + sign beside your chart that will allow you to do this also.)
Play with Design and Format tabs and other options to make the histogram look the way you want. (You may see a box with a paintbrush beside your chart that will allow you to do this also.)
Histogram option 2:
Open Excel and click on the Data tab. Data Analysis should appear as an option on the far right. If not, follow the steps below:
Click on the File tab
Select Options
Click on Add-ins, and then on Analysis ToolPakClick on Go
Make sure Analysis ToolPak is checked and click on OK
Now when you click on the Data tab, you should see the Data Analysis box.
Once the Data Analysis box is visible, then enter your data in a column, with the heading in the top cell.
In the second column, create a bins column by choosing the limits to the intervals you want to use. These set the “bins,” or the intervals that you want your data to be separated into. In the example below, I chose the following bins: 6, 6.5, 7, 7.5, 8, 8.5 The first number is lower than all my data points, and the last number is higher. They fall into equal intervals, using a nice round number.
Now click on Data Analysis, then on histogram.
Click on the Input box, and then highlight your entire first column, including the heading. (Highlight by left clicking in the first cell. Hold the mouse button down as you move the mouse to the last cell before releasing.)
Click on the Bins box, and highlight your Bins column.
Check the box to indicate you included labels.
Choose one of the radio buttons to tell Excel where you want your output to be displayed: In a new workbook, on a new worksheet page in the same workbook, or on the same page you are on. If you choose the same page, you must specify the cell where you want you want the output to begin by clicking on the output range box first and then on a cell on your page where you want your output to be.
Most importantly, check the box that says Chart Output.
Change the width of the columns so that there are no gaps, as is typical with histograms: Right-click on the columns of the histogram, choose Format Data Series, and slide slider to No gap.
In my example that follows, students in my class measured their hand widths, as indicated below. Each number in the first column represents the hand width for a different student. In the second column, I entered numbers to represent the “bins,” or groups, I’ve chosen. Excel will create a histogram with bars representing the number of students whose hand width falls into these groups. The number of bars created depends on how many bins you select.
Put your data in this format:
Hand Width Bins Based on the bins I indicated, Excel will count the number of hand widths in each of the following intervals….
7.75 6 15557589535006 or below
7 6.5 1651009906000greater than 6 but no higher than 6.5
7.25 7 1555758953500greater than 6.5 but no higher than 76.75 7.5 1555759906000greater than 7 but no higher than 7.5
7.75 8 1555759906000greater than 8
7.25 7.5 7.5 6.25 6.75 7.25 7.0 7.8 6.5 7.25 7 7.75 7.25 7 6 6.5 8.3 2. Bar chart – This should include a nominal independent variable (categorical data) on x-axis (horizontal axis). For example, you might ask several of your friends to measure their height (in inches). Then calculate the mean height for men and the mean height for women and create a bar chart in excel to show the two means. (You may calculate the mean in Excel , with your calculator or by hand.)
How: In Excel, type “Men” in cell A1 and “Women” in cell B1. Then enter the mean height for each group in the cells just below. Highlight both columns by clicking and dragging your mouse over your data. Click on Insert , then Column (chart). Play around with the chart tools (design, layout, format) to add a title, change colors, labels, etc. to your liking.
Here is what your data may look like:
Mean Height (in inches)
Men 69.3
Women 65.6
3. Pie Chart – Find data that can be presented as % of total. One source of data of interest to psychologists and sociologists is the General Social Survey, which can be found by Internet search. If you use this database, you might list how many people answered a question in a specific way. For example, if 1000 people responded to a particular question, and 500 answered “yes,” 300 answered “no” and 200 answered “undecided,” you would enter this data like this:
Yes No Undecided
500 300 200
Highlight the cells that contain these data by clicking and dragging the mouse; click on Insert, then Pie Chart. After the chart is created, you can change the data to % by clicking on Design and selecting one of the designs with % on it. (Skip this step if you entered the data as percentages.) Click on the title and type into the data entry box to change the title. Play around with the design, layout and format tools to get to chart to look the way you want it to look.
4. Scatterplot –showing relationship between two variables, for example, hand width and height. See the hand width and height data below, or collect your own data to present. Make sure you keep the data paired correctly, so that each row represents two measures for the same person. For example, the person below who was 68 inches tall had a hand width of 7.75 inches. Enter the data into an excel spreadsheet. Highlight the data, then click Insert and then Scatter. Again, play around with the design, layout and format tools to get to chart to look the way you want it to look. The data will appear clearer if you change the “height” axis so that it doesn’t begin at 0. (Right click on the axis and select format axis, then set minimum.)
Height Hand Width
68 7.75
62 7
69 7.25
64 6.75
65 7.75
65 7.2
64 7.5
63 7.5
68 7.8
63 6.5
61 7.25
65 7
70 8.75
58 6.25
67 8.5
65 7.5
66 7
63 7
67 9
62 6
5. Line chart – Create a line chart (time plot) to show change over time. For example, the data below from the General Social Survey indicate the proportion of respondents (of those with a valid answer) who said they were either “very happy” or “fairly happy” when asked “If you were to consider your life in general these days, how happy or unhappy would you say you are on the whole?” Alternatively, you could look at a particular player’s batting average over the last five years, or the amount of rainfall in Houston each month.
How: Enter your data in Excel in columns, with the title in the first row of the second column, and the dates in the first column. The data should be in the second column, adjacent to the appropriate date, as in the example below. Do not put a title over the first column, especially if you are using years.
Put Title Here
2002 0.67
2004 0.62
2006 0.42
2008 0.32
2010 0.49
2012 0.56
Then highlight the entire area, including the area with the title. Click on Insert, then click on line graph.
Heart structure and a little physiology
Heart structure and a little physiology
Goals: Our goal is to advance understanding of contrivances of basic cardiovascular regulation to care the development of new treatments and insights into medical therapies.
1.Know the locations of the structures listed
2.Know the function/description of the following structures
3.Be able to trace the path of blood through the heart.
4. Answer questions after doing online exploration.
You will use pictures of our heart models to do this exercise. Not all the structures are shown on all the views, so if you can’t find something go to another model. Also, there are more numbers listed than structures listed so you will not use all the numbers,
Parts 1 and 2 Lab report: Please put the number of each structure as shown in the pictures in front of the word and write the function or description after the word. (Shown in red below. )
The endocardium and right coronary arteries are not shown by a number on the models. The numbers are the actual numbers that you would see on the model. Superior vena cava –
Left common carotid artery (7)- Left common carotid ascends directly from the arch of Aorta as a HYPERLINK “http://www.meddean.luc.edu/lumen/meded/radio/curriculum/Pulmonary/Image80a.jpg” second branch.its function is to supply Major portion of blood to the head and neck regions.
Aortic arch (9)- The aortic arch is the share of the key artery that bends amongst the ascending and descending aorta. It leaves the heart and rises, then inclines back to create the arch. The aorta allocates blood from the left ventricle of the heart to the rest of the body Parts.
Pulmonary trunk (12)- it pumps blood from the right ventricle during artial ventricular diastole
Right pulmonary veins (18)- its function is to collect blood from the right lung and vice versa.
Left pulmonary veins (28)- allow passage of oxygenated blood from the HYPERLINK “https://www.thoughtco.com/anatomy-of-the-lungs-373249” lungs to the heart.
Inferior vena cava (21)- it is large vein that carries de-oxygenated blood from the lower body to the heart.
Right atrium (23) – The right atrium includes one of the four chambers of the heart. It pumps deoxygenated blood into the pulmonary veins around the lungs.
Right ventricle (73)- it is the chamber within the heart that is responsible for pumping oxygen-depleted blood to the lungs.
Left atrium – Its primary roles are to act as a farm chamber for blood returning from the lungs and to act as a pump to transport blood to other areas of the heart.
Left ventricle – Pumps oxygenated blood from lungs to body
Apex – is responsible for variable ventricular reduction and sending and getting information signs from the heart’s atrial nodes.
Right coronary artery (56)- The right coronary artery explicitly provides blood to the right atrium, heart ventricles, and the cells in the right atrial wall, which are named the sinoatrial node
Left coronary artery – left coronary artery and it’s a division that supply bulk of oxygenated blood to ventricular myocardium, and additionally to the left atrium, left atrial appendage, pulmonary artery, and aortic root
Tricuspid valve – it creates the boundary amongst the right ventricle and the right atrium.
Endocardium – it is the tissue that lines the innermost HEART, made up of epithelial cells. It also protects the heart valves, providing a smooth surface that offers no occasion for blood cells to stick to it as they badge through the heart.
Pulmonary semilunar valve- it prevent back flow of blood into the right ventricle while being passed away to the lungs by the pulmonary artery for oxygenation.
Bicuspid (mitral) valve- the function of the bicuspid valve is to regulate the flow of blood in one direction through the left side of the heart, particularly in respect to preventing any blood from bring up back into the lungs.
Aortic semilunar valve – The aortic valve is the valve between the left ventricle and the aorta. Its main function is two- fold.
Sinoatrial node- it acts as a pacemaker, groups the rate and control at which cardiac muscle cells contract. The pacemaker is influenced by nerves, hormones, body temperature.
Atrioventricular node- it is one of the main parts of the cardiac electrical conduction system, which regulates heart rate and rhythm

Part 3 Lab report: Please write a paragraph tracing the path of blood through the heart.
When the heart beats, oxygen-poor blood enters the right atrium through the superior and inferior venae cavae and the coronary sinus. Blood flows from the right atrium into the right ventricle through the open right AV valve, or tricuspid valve. As the right ventricle fills, 70% flow is passive through the relaxed right atrium. When the right atrium contracts, it completes ventricular filling by pushing in the last 30%. Now, when the right ventricle contracts, the tricuspid valve is pushed closed and it prevents backflow of blood into the right atrium. As contraction continues, pressure on blood inside the ventricle rises until the pulmonary semilunar valve is forced open. Blood is propelled into the pulmonary trunk and toward the gas exchange surfaces of the lungs, where oxygen is picked up and carbon dioxide is discharged. The pumping of the right ventricle also forces oxygen-rich blood in the capillaries of the pulmonary circuit toward the left side of the heart within the pulmonary vein.
An Online Exploration of the hearthttp://sln.fi.edu/biosci/heart.html
Part 4 Lab report: Navigate the HYPERLINK “http://sln.fi.edu/biosci/heart.html” t “_blank” website and write the answers to the following:1. What is the largest vessel that is attached to the heart, and what does it do?
Aorta-The aorta is a conduit for oxygenated blood to leave the heart and mingle to the organs and peripheral limbs. 2. What is pulmonary circulation?
It is the share of the circulatory system which transports deoxygenated blood away from the right ventricle of the heart, to the lungs, and gets back oxygenated blood to the left atrium and ventricle of the heart.3. The sound you here when you listen to your heart with stethoscope is actually what?
heartbeat4. Distinguish between systole and diastole phases of the heart.
Diastole is the portion of the cardiac cycle once the heart fill-ups with blood succeeding systole while Systole is the part of the heartbeat when the heart muscle indentures and impels blood from the chambers into the arteries.
5. Distinguish between an artery and a vein. veins carry blood from the nerves of the body back to the heart while artery carry blood away from the heart to the tissues of the body
6. What is a sphygmomanometer?is a machine that measures blood pressure.7. How is hypertension treated?
Taking of high blood pressure drugs to avoid more future complications of the disease. HYPERLINK “https://www.healthline.com/health/diuretics” Diuretics-help the kidneys get rid of extra water and salt . This reduces the capacity of blood that desires to pass through the blood vessels, and as a outcome, blood pressure goes down8. Name 3 risk factors for hypertension.
Being overweight or obese
The more the weight the more blood flow is required to supply oxygen and nutrients to the tissues. As the capacity of blood dispersed through the blood vessels upsurges, so ensures the pressure inside the arteries.
Too much salt (sodium) in your diet
Too much sodium in the diet can cause body to hold fluid, and can also causes the arteries in the body to narrow. Hence this Both factors rise blood pressure.
Too little potassium in your diet
Potassium helps stabilize the amount of sodium in the cells. Potassium brings the smooth muscle cells in the arteries to contract which cools down blood pressure.
9. What is artherosclerosis?
is a state where the arteries becomes cynical and pointed because of an extreme accumulation of plaque about the vessel wall10. What is electrocardiography?is the method of recording the electrical action of the heart above a era of time using electrodes placed on the skin.11. Describe how angioplasty works?Angioplasty procedures imaging regulation to insert a balloon-tipped catheter into a blocked blood vessel somewhere the balloon is magnified to open the vessel and rally blood flow. It may be done with vascular stenting the assignment of a small wire mesh tube inside the blood container to help keep it open. 12. Why are artificial hearts not an option for permanent replacement of a bad heart?
It cannot be used permanently simply because the body will rejecting it at the end , discerning that it is a extraneous object; such as a disease or bacteria.13. Name two symptoms of a heart attack?
Painful pressure, pressing, fullness or pain in the middle of your chest. It lasts more than a few minutes, or goes away and comes back.
discomfort in one or both arms, the back, neck, jaw or stomach.
Shortness of breath with or without chest distress.
signs such as flouting out in a cold sweat, nausea or dizziness
