means everything to me. I fell in love with
soccer when I was 13 years old. A very
first sport I played was Basketball, and I
thought at that time it was my only one
love in sports. Actually, I was wrong. My
friend introduced me to soccer when I
was in a first year of my junior high school.
Soccer had some how a very powerful

sports easily. I love playing and watching
soccer after then. 90 minutes of soccer
game has a lot of things going on that
make times go by very rapidly. I have to
say that I’m not a morning person, but
every time that in any mornings have a
big match of soccer, a powerful of soccer
will always wakes me up and brings me
to a sofa to watch it even though I had
slept less than 2 hours before that.

using skills as a graphic designer in a grad

The popular idiom “don’t judge a book by its cover” is a metaphor that encourages us not to prejudge
the worth of something solely by the nature of its outward appearance. Hoewver, as consumers
(and perhaps even more so as designers) we are often drawn to an item due to its ‘cover’.
This is especially true of books. in retail settings, book cover gives the reader a glimpse of what is
to come (sets the stage), compelling them to pick-up an purchase the book.
For this project, I have to choose two of the fifty books from the Recovering the Classics list and
design book covers for them. I picked the Frankenstein by Mary Shelley and the Dracular by Bram
Stoker. My concept for these books is a minimalism. Simple is the best.
Boston Common Wayfinding. For this project, I was assigned to create a wayfinding for people who travel in/around Boston Common park.

Transforming Brand Perception and Boosting Profitabilityaaryangarg12
In today's digital era, the dynamics of brand perception, consumer behavior, and profitability have been profoundly reshaped by the synergy of branding, social media, and website design. This research paper investigates the transformative power of these elements in influencing how individuals perceive brands and products and how this transformation can be harnessed to drive sales and profitability for businesses.
Through an exploration of brand psychology and consumer behavior, this study sheds light on the intricate ways in which effective branding strategies, strategic social media engagement, and user-centric website design contribute to altering consumers' perceptions. We delve into the principles that underlie successful brand transformations, examining how visual identity, messaging, and storytelling can captivate and resonate with target audiences.
Methodologically, this research employs a comprehensive approach, combining qualitative and quantitative analyses. Real-world case studies illustrate the impact of branding, social media campaigns, and website redesigns on consumer perception, sales figures, and profitability. We assess the various metrics, including brand awareness, customer engagement, conversion rates, and revenue growth, to measure the effectiveness of these strategies.
The results underscore the pivotal role of cohesive branding, social media influence, and website usability in shaping positive brand perceptions, influencing consumer decisions, and ultimately bolstering sales and profitability. This paper provides actionable insights and strategic recommendations for businesses seeking to leverage branding, social media, and website design as potent tools to enhance their market position and financial success.

When You Arrive
You will be seen by the triage nurse who will evaluate the urgency and nature of your illness or injury. If you have a primary care physician,
be sure to inform the nurse of your doctor’s name to ensure continuity of care.Whenever possible, you should notify your primary care
physician before coming to the Emergency Department.After you are seen by the triage nurse, a member of the registration staff will ask
you or someone who is with you for registration information.You will then be seen by a team of healthcare professionals who will assess
your condition, order any necessary diagnostic tests, and provide the necessary treatment during your stay.Test results will be discussed
with you, and you will be given instructions about follow-up care.When appropriate, your primary care physician will be contacted.
If You Are Admitted
You will be assigned a bed as quickly as possible on the appropriate unit and campus. Please inform the Emergency Department if you
were previously treated at the former Beth Israel Hospital (East Campus) or the former Deaconess Hospital (West Campus).This in-
formation will allow your care team to access the most current information regarding your condition, and if possible, may enable staff to
treat you at the location with which you are familiar. Remember, however, that we are now one combined medical center at both
campuses. Once you are transferred to a unit and bed, a new team of providers will continue your day-to-day medical care and decide
when you are able to return home. Before you are discharged, you will receive instructions about follow-up care.
