Final Proyect - Chinita's Fair.

With this project we want to show everyone the wonderful of chinita's fair, creating a concept that communicates the human warm and the beauty of our city "Maracaibo".

The selected Image for this project is an image that shows surrealism because it makes ablution of a folklore event in Venezuela, most specifically in this state "Zulia". The graphic elements like the sun and the bridge create a publicity piece that provides an easy recognition for de people that participate in this.

The selected color, was selected because it is natural; it is also traditional in this city that type of color, because it has hot tones to represented the heat of the city and the gentle people.

The Arial Black was selected as the main typography, because it is 100% readable and a modification was realized to create a bigger illusion.

A visual metaphor was used, because it show commemorative elements.

The participation for this project was in group and next we wrote down who did what:

*Maria Jose Bravo: she took care of designing the banner, editing the group photo, translating the paragraph and creating the Chinita's image.

*Manuel Marquez: he took care of supervising the assembly and to write the descriptive memory.

*Naykely Parra: she took care of designing the main poster and creating the graphic concept.

*Gustavo Rosales: he took care of writing the descriptive memory and supervising the assembly of the pieces in second life.

Life is often noisy and full of distractions

Concerns and problems flood our minds. There is always so much to do! But, God wants the very best for you but you just have to know how to recognize it and lay hold of it.

If you've ever said to yourself, "I don't even have time to think," then you know how hard it is to concentrate when you're being bombarded from all sides. It's even harder to focus on God when we can't take time to renew our minds and refresh our spirits by quiet reflection. God doesn't often shout to get our attention. Instead, He usually speaks to us in "a still small voice" (1 Kings 19:12, NKJV).

So, what can we do to put ourselves in a position to hear God's voice? We have to make time in our daily lives to get quiet. David said of the Lord in Psalm 23:2, "He leads me beside quiet waters." Today I want to encourage you to find those quiet waters where you can get alone with the Lord. It may be a room in your house, outside under the trees, or some other place where you can shut out the noise and distractions of the world for just a few precious minutes. The key to renewing your mind, body and spirit is to develop the habit and discipline of meditating on the Word of God every day — even if it is for just a moment.
