100 Collection Hairstyles and Personality
After some further research into personality traits i stumbled on a website which claimed to reveal some traits with men who have simular or the same hairstyles. I am fairly sceptical about exactly how accurate this information is but never the less its still interesting.
Coiffed or Styled Hair
When a mans hair is carefully cut, blow dried, and hair sprayed, it could indicate that he's into the power image. A man who pays close attention to his hair may also have expensive or trendy clothes, shoes, accessories, and toys. Readying body language in this case isn;t difficult: this man is probably vain and wants to impress others.
Short Hair
Reading body language in this case can be confusing, because short hair on a man can reveal many things about his personality. Very short hair on a man could indicate that he's practical, plays sports, is conservative, is in the military, is recovering from medical treatment, or works for an organization that requires short hair.
Hair Loss
How a man deals with hair loss shows his personality. If he uses extreme comb overs or obvious hairpieces, he may have poor judgement. He simply doesn't realize how he looks to others, and he thinks people won't notice.

No News is Good News
The article i chose was "Big rise in number of drunken children in A&E" a link to my news paper article can be found by clicking here. My article talks about children getting themselves into hospital by drinking too much and how especially girls are even more likely to be admitted.
Opinions
"I think its the exciting element of breaking the rules that attracts most underage drinkers. Therefore there aren't too many ways to prevent this apart from lowering the age limit which would most likely backfire severely. Maybe making alcohol harder to buy and pushing up the prices in local stores would contribute well to the problem but overall it is a tricky one. We are living in a country known for its drinking culture so i feel some of the blame lies with the older generation; the parents; the adults. If they don't make the serious effort to change, then chances are the youth will follow and the cycle continues."
"As long as alcohol remains as heavily promoted as it currently is, young drinkers will continue to consume far more than they otherwise might of."
"Perants need to realise they are role models, their behavoure has more impact then what they tell their children"
"This report shows the devastating impact that alcohol has on young people who drink too much have"
"Everyone has a part to play in this. Parents, police, education and socail services need to work together."
"Underage drinking is something the parents need to crack down on before it gets out of hand or into the polices."
"Underage drinking is a part of growing up, to reduce it you need to tackle the social aspects behind it."
"I think perants can encourage underage drinking in some circumstances but i think you have brought your kids up well and there responsible theres often nothing wrong with underage drinking."
"If you allowed your children to drink and eductated them about it then maybe you wouldn't get people sipping white lighting in the parks at the age of 13."
"Underage drinking should be acceptable in moderation"
"You have to learn somewhere it is in kids nature to draw on walls and stuff they will do it without alcohol anyway."
"I use to do it so its alright i suppose..."
"If their was a way to get the perants to makes sure the u18's moderate the drinking then it could be more acceptable and safe."
"Underage drinking is getting out of hand because the children find it exciting and new, the perants should allow the children to drink at home on occasions to take the excitement out of it. Schools need to take a different approach on educating the pupils."
"Its the government, schools and perants fault for not educating the children enough"
"All the age laws make drinking illigal and exciting for the u18s"
"They are sort of a lost generation, because of the culture they have been brought up in. Their views on alcohol has been pretty well established."

Erin Hanson
Erin Hanson's questions what we want and what we need. The imagery used is simple and effective with basic type to explain it. I like his work because it makes me realise i dont need half the things i have.
Saks fifth Avenue
These designs have been done by Pentagram Design for Saks fifth avenue, i like how the typography is really fluid and how they have designed the bags by using enlarged parts of the logo. The Black and white works well together.
