Hello all of my soccer stars (I’m workshopping some names to call you guys). Since one of my most popular quizzes on Sporcle is the 2020 USWNT Roster Quiz, I decided to make one for 2021. And I will probably do the same for 2022, and maybe earlier years if there is interest.
So, without further blabbering, I give you the link to my soccer quizzes:
https://www.sporcle.com/playlists/valazzaj/soccer-playlist
Of which, the newest is the 2021 Roster Quiz. How well can you remember 2 years ago, because the answer may surprise you (it surprised me how much I forgot).

“ Honestly, I feel like some overestimated Valentina's strategy decisions. Like, yes, the decisions made in Tokyo were good decisions that made sense even prior to hindsight (ex: despite Gera being good on beam, even good beam scores were lower than mediocre vault scores. So for a higher team total, Lilia had to be on the main team). But the thing is, she didn't have to be a strategic mastermind for Russia to win gold. She just had to be a better strategist than Tom. “

Come on, admit it: You ALWAYS wanted to ride Kaneda’s badass red motorcyle and battle the Clowns on the highways of Neo-Tokyo. I sure as hell knew I did after I first watched Akira, Katsuhiro Otomo’s groundbreaking anime, many moons ago. From the sponsor-accurate decals on the panels, which can be removed to expose the inner workings of the motorcycle, to the front fork’s spring-loaded suspension, Bandai really knocked this presentation of the iconic vehicle out of this world. I just wish the figure of Kaneda himself had more articulation, but he and his bundle of joy are clearly made for display only.

WOLL WK03 - semiotics
Design is the act of making a sign. Let's take a look at the word design: if you break it down to "De-Sign," you can see that it's spelled "Sign. As you can see, design is essentially applied knowledge created through semiotics, and design is created through symbols. In this class, I was able to understand the fundamental elements of design and realize how much semiotics influences design.
Semiotics helps us to be clear about what a piece of design is trying to say. The performance video that we showed in class for the opening ceremony of the 2020 Tokyo Olympics was a pantomime that used pictograms, a classic example of semiotics, to represent the Olympic sports and juxtaposed them with pre-filmed edits of all 50 sports in one take, live and uninterrupted. This helped us to see the power of pictograms, which are simple shapes that show what they represent without further explanation.

This advertisement is all song and no narration, but we still know what it means. This made me realize that there are a lot of things that we perceive because of semiotics, and it made quite an impression on me. There is no doubt that semiotics is necessary to convey certain meanings without further explanation. If used well, it can make a great impression on the viewer and be memorable. So I will develop this further and apply it to my designs as a design principle.
