My Advice to Yiler about his Planet

Written by: Steve Wang

Yiler! Solitudinem is a cool concept for a planet. However, after looking more closely at your infographic and your planet, I have a few issues with your work. I really like it but there are changes to be made and things to be imporve on. To help your planet, I will point out some problems wiht your planet. Then, the infographic. After understanding those, I will give some suggestions on how to fix it.

On your infographic, there are many issues. The picture on the top left is blending in with the background. This is not good because it might creatae a hierarchy between the picture. It might make it seem like the picture below it is more inportant. Another issues is the picture on the bottom left looks slightly more important compared to the other sub-pictures because of the color scheme. So, I think the background color should be reconsidered. Additionally, there is an issue with the text, the width of the texts are not the same. There is also no clear way to tell how it is alligned. It does not follow the the art rules of simillarity. Before moving on to the issues regarding the planet, your text explains that there are three moons orbiting the blue sun. However, what I see in the picture is three moons orbiting a blue sun. Solitudinem is nowhere in sight. This infographic is supposed to give information about the planet but it does not do it properly. The infographic is split into two sides. One habitted on the other one non-habitted. However, it looks like the nomads live on the dessert on the left but the right contradicts that fact.

Next, there issues regarding your planet. I do not Solitudinem is the Latin word for lonly but, the planet is not lonly at all. In fact, there are three moons orbiting it and it is also right next to a sun. That adds up to four things surrouding it so it is not really lonely. Inside the planet, I can see that sunlight is not blue but it is mostly transparet. Why is that, shouldn't it be blue? Another interesting fact is nomads have taken up residence there. Nomads seem to be an essential part to it. However, I do not know much about it. Why do they not have legs, which parts of the planets do they live on, how do they survive on the panet, ect. I want to know more about them and their lives their. Another information I have gotten is that there are three planets.

All in all, I think this is a very interesting planet but there are many things that need to be fixed on the infographic and many weird things about your planet that are unexplained. To fix the infographic, I think the infographic should be reformated to fit in more information and the picture should be redrawn to also give more information. To give information on the nomads, maybe a seprate picture shoudl be drawn about them so it is clearer what creature they are.

In conclusion, there are problems to be fixed in your infographic and planet. To fix them, the infographic should be reformatted and some things should be added to the pictures. Yiler Solitudinem is a cool planet so I really want to see you fix the parts that need fixing and expand it's universe. Starkting right now, Yiler should get to work.

Steve Revised My Planet Infographic

Changes and The Resons Behind Them

  1. The background because I wanted to comunicate that this is an infographic about the planet.
  2. The Azure title from white to back because when I changed the location, black made the text stand out more.
  3. The Azure title from left to middle because with the new background, there was more space and it is clearer that way.
  4. Removed some of the boxes for the pieces of information so that the background would be clearer.
  5. Added white outline to the boxes left to make it clearer and not blend into the background.

Steve Essay About My Planet

Mr Krabs from Spongebob once said that “After all, money is the ultimate source of joy.(1)” Most people will think that is not true. However, we cannot deny that money is important to our lives. One of the things that earns a lot of money is the movie industry(2) and one of the things we love in movies is creativity and originality. I have created a planet that is creative and original. To explain my planet, I will talk about the planet, the different environments on the planet and finally, the inhabitants there.

Azure is a purplish and bluish planet that spans for around 4000 miles in radius. Its size is close to the size of Venus, the third smallest planet in our solar system. This means the planet is big enough for a lot of cities, which is perfect if many spin offs are going to be made of the movie. Another important part is, the atmosphere on Azure is translucent and a little purple. That creates opportunities for many cool and unique scenes which other movies cannot have. Also, we can have different environments and concepts that no other movie has because the only limit is our imagination. Another part which makes this perfect for a movie is the different environments there.

The planet is split into three different areas. On the top, there are really tall mountains. They are usually unscalable to normal inhabitants there. Only the natives from the mountainous area have a chance to do so because the slope is slippery and steep. However the view on the top is great. You will be able to see space clearly from up there. Below the mountains, there are only a few water sources. The water sources come from little lakes around the place. Those lakes connect to the second layer, the ocean. The ocean is below land so it can also be called underground water. There are many inhabitants who have evolved to be able to live below water because the water is a very efficient way to get around the planet. The underground ocean is like a huge waterway leading to almost every part of the planet. Under the waters, there is another underground layer. There is no water there because it is too hot. Even though the only liquid there is lava, there are still inhabitants that have evolved to be able to stay in that environment.

The next key part of the planet is the inhabitants. They are evolving constantly so there can be many movies on the planet with all different concepts. One of the evolutionary points is, they have a lot of hair all over their body to hear sound. They are similar to the snakes and lizards which live on earth (3).To be able to breathe the air on Azure, their noses have evolved so much that it looks like a round circle. It also functions like a gas mask to prevent them from exploding like earth humans would if they breathed the air in. Another important fact about these inhabitants is, they all live in different areas. Some live on the mountains, some live underwater and some live underground. Different inhabitants living in different areas have also evolved differently. For example, the inhabitants underwater are very tall but very thin. That is to make sure that they are more lightweight and aerodynamic to allow them to swim freely in the water. In contrast to the tall underwater inhabitants, the ones that live underground are very short, about half of the height of an average human living on earth. They are short because the tunnels underground take a lot of effort to dig out and if they are small, they have to dig less. The different states of the inhabitants there can be a key point in the movies. This will also help the movie be different and special.

In short, this concept would be perfect for a movie because of the planet itself, the environment, and the inhabitants there. These things will allow the movie makers to make shots that have appeared in no other movie. I strongly believe that this concept, paired with a good storyline, will create a very interesting and fun movie. If a movie is fun and interesting, moviegoers will want to watch it. If many people watch it, it will earn a lot of money. Other than allowing people to watch the movie, someone else can also sell merchandise that has to do with the movie. According to Mr Krabs, money is the ultimate source of joy. So, we should use this concept and make a movie.
