Tuesday April 31
Write 2 paragraphs to prepare for college scholarships using the following criteria:
- academic achievement,
- community service, and
- leadership potential
Your first step is to research where you want to go if you already don't know. Look for a college that will inspire you to do more with your life. Example, what kind of guest speakers will come to that school and what you can learn from them. What kind of programs does that college have that is something you'd like to learn. What is awsome about the location around the college that will motivate you to get there.
Next you need to decide what you have to do to get there. Academics are only one area. Most scholarships are looking for leaders. What makes you a leader and what can you do to become more of a leader. Think about community service and how you can help people. Think how you can start something that spreads to make life better for people. Think how you could volunteer in different ways and take leadership at the same time. What business or program could you start? What could you create? What product could you create? What service could you do? Think how you could become greater than you are now and what you can do to get there, because everyone can change and do something.

Create a LOGO for JCBA Johnson Corporate Business Academy using Photoshop (500pixels x 500 pixels)
A business logo design creates a unique identity to create an everlasting impression on the mind of a target customer. The main aim is to promote the brand identity of an organization in the market. A corporate trademark carries the identity of an enterprise among the customers.
A business trademark carries the identity of an enterprise or an organization in a distinct manner. The designing of a graphic symbol should be such that it has the potential for promoting and strongly portraying the identity of a company. A target audience should be able to recognize or identify a corporate image through your trademark. Make the graphic symbol simple in appearance so that it is easily recognizable. You can create an attractive and impressive graphic symbol so that the company appears outstanding and outshining. An attractive and best company logo is the one that stands apart from its competitors. It is the one that portrays the spirit as well as true philosophy of an organization. A graphic symbol should be the one that represents a true image of a corporation in a convincing and appealing manner. The shape, size, color, lines and alignment of a logo are the elements that are used for designing. These elements should be integrated in order to make sense and so that it reflects the image or message of an organization. A designer should design a graphic symbol in such a manner so that it reflects the values and philosophy of an enterprise. It should be able to convey the core spirit as well as true nature of the business. The graphic symbol should be reproducible on any promotional material. For instance, it can be reproduced on newsletters, contract or agreement papers, corporate stationary and any other material. A trademark can be simple and readable so that it can be easily grasped by a target audience. Make the components visually appealing as well as striking.

All Classes - Reward to class that is best behaved and working.
Make a poster using Adobe Photoshop for your product or business. Use ideas you wrote down about why people will buy your product. Leave a blank box for where the picture of your product will go. Design a cool background. Click here for a basic example
An advertising flyer's primary purpose is to sell consumers on an event, idea, product, or service. A well-designed and thought-out flyer will provide compelling information to convince the person viewing it to attend your event or buy your company's product or services to help solve problems. A flyer uses both imagery and text to get across the primary message of the producing organization and can be used for email, print, and web distribution.
- Choose the primary reason for creating the flyer in order to give it focus.
- Desing the Title so it is a "Call to Action" by the reader. In other words, create a title that motives someone to read your flyer.
- All the other text is to convince the consumer how the product or service will solve a problem they have.
- The end-result of the flyer work is to get the consumer to take action.
- A maximum of two to three fonts should be used for the text of the flyer to prevent the layout from appearing to be too confusing.
- The supporting text should also not exceed three sentences to keep from losing the reader's interest.
- When planning the design of the flyer, the picture or illustration should be in the upper-half of the flyer. When consumers view flyers or websites, their eyes are naturally drawn to the upper half of a page with emphasis on the left-hand side for people from countries that read left-to-right.
- Using a single, large image is proven to make a stronger impression on viewers than numerous small pictures. If using small pictures, they should be grouped together so that they are perceived to be a single group of images. A small image can also be juxtaposed with a larger one to give a contrasting appearance on the flyer. The end result of using imagery should be to draw a viewer's interest and keep it long enough to read the "Call to Action" and supporting information of the flyer.
- Finish a Rough Draft of your flyer by the end of class. Will be turned in on Monday at the beggining of class.
Speech Due at end of first quarter. 1 min required, 2 min extra 25 points, 3 min extra 50 points. Topics – “My

More Essay Contests
As you prepare to head off to college you may benefit academically and
financially by participating in a contest. Private organizations will often run
such contests as a way to encourage students to pursue a certain area of study
or help them become good citizens.
Generous financial awards can be put to personal use or set aside for college. Importantly, winning an essay, photography, or poetry contest can be worth including on your college application, perhaps proving to be the deciding factor when the review committee considers your own.

Business Types
Sole Proprietorship
This is the simplest and
the most widely used structure for business. It is the least regulated type of
the various business structures. For tax and legal purposes the business is the
owner. The unlimited liability factor is probably the greatest disadvantage.
The liabilities of the business are personal to the owner and the business
ceases to exist when the owner dies.
Disadvantages
· all of the personal
and business assets of the sole owner are at risk in the sole proprietorship
· a judgment against the sole proprietorship
could reach into the personal assets of the sole owner
· liability insurance
premiums are vary high. perhaps
too costly for the resources of the sole owner
· due to the structure
it may be difficult to obtain a loan. if there is
insufficient collateral a sole proprietor may have to mortgage a loan or place
another piece of personal property as collateral
· when the sole owner
dies often the business ceases to exist due to the lack of structure in
this business form
Advantages
· sole owner has total
control over the operations of this business
· least regulated form
of business
· other than records for
tax purposes there are no legal requirements as to how the business must be
operated
· usually one only needs
to obtain a license or pay a fee to a local registering authority.
The limited partnership
is a hybrid type of business structure. It contains elements of both a
traditional partnership and a corporation. The limited partnership form of
business structure may be used when some interested parties want to invest in a
partnership but want only limited liability and do not wish to exercise any
control over the business activities of the partnership.
The Limited partnership
is subject to much more regulation on the state level than either the sole
proprietorship or regular partnership. Each state in the Union has adopted
strict regulations according to the Uniform Limited Partnership Act governing
the formation and operation of the Limited Partnership.
A limited partnership
consists of two types of partners; the general partner; one or more people who
actively manage the partnership; and the limited partner; one or more people
who invest in the partnership but take no active role in the management of the
partnership. The general partners are at personal risk for their conduct of the
partnership whereas the limited partner risks only that which he has invested
in the partnership.
Disadvantages
· There is always a chance for a lack of
continuity and clear cut guidelines amongst the partners concerning who does what and how to conduct business.
· Due to the state regulations
, limited partnerships are subject to more paperwork than the general
partnership.
· General partners maintain full personal risk. The limited partner risks losing the benefits of the limited
partner status if they take any active role in the conduct of the activities of
the partnership.
Advantages
· The limited partner,
as long as he remains passive, has no personal liability and risks only that
which he invests.
· This low risk for the limited partner and the fact
that the limited partner shares in the profits and tax deductions with no
duties regarding the active conduct of business, may make it easier for the
partnership to find investors.
A corporation is an
artificial entity created by filing Articles of Incorporation with the Secretary
of State. This gives the corporation existence and a legal right to conduct
business in the state of incorporation. Corporations are more complex than
either a partnership or sole proprietorship and are subject to more regulation
by the state.
The internal rules of
the corporation which outline the mechanics of the operation and management are
called the by-laws.
Corporate Structure: A Concise Explanation
Shareholders: They own share in the business but do not
engage in the direct management of the operation except by electing the
directors of the corporation and by voting on major corporate issues.
Directors: They may be shareholders, but as Directors
they do not own any of the business. As group known as the Board of Directors,
they are jointly responsible for making the major business decision for the
corporation as well as appointing the officers of the corporation.
Officers:
they may be shareholders and/or directors, but, as officers, they do not own
any of the business. They are responsible for the day-to-day operations of the
corporate business. Usual titles for the different corporate officers are:
President, vice-president, Secretary and treasurer.
Disadvantages of
Incorporation
· due to the organizational
structure in a corporation, a certain degree of individual control is
necessarily ;lost by incorporation
· the technical
formalities of corporation formation and operation must be strictly observed in
order for a business to reap the benefits of corporate existence.
· the initial state fees
that must be paid for registration of a corporation can be very high
· corporations are also
subject to a greater level of governmental regulation than any other type of
business entity.
· profits are subject to
double taxation when distributed to shareholders in the form of dividends.
Advantages of
Incorporation
· potential for limited
liability is one of the most important advantages of the corporate form of
business structure. The liability of corporate debt is generally limited to the
amount of money each investor has invested.
· a corporation can theoretically have perpetual
existence.
· a shareholder may freely sell,
trade or give away his stock unless this right is formally restricted by
corporate decision
· taxation can be both
an advantage and a disadvantage.
The Limited Liability
Company (LLC)
A Limited Liability
Company (LLC) is a hybrid business entity, designed to combine the
advantages of a corporation with the tax advantages of a partnership. Like a
corporation, the owners of an LLC are not personally liable for the LLC's debts
and obligations. Like a partnership, an LLC can be treated as a pass-through
entity for tax purposes. Beginning in 1997 the IRS no longer taxes these
entities as corporations. They permit the LLC to elect whether taxation as a
partnership, sole-proprietorship or corporation best fits the needs of its
business and its Members. This may be advantageous for those who cannot meet
the IRS requirements for an "S" corporation and desire the tax
pass-through treatment.
