1. What are the major differences in these two versions?

The major difference is that the text was changed from being a part of the artwork to surrounding the artwork.

2. What design issue caused a change in the final artwork?

The imbalance of the size of the text versus the size of the artwork is what caused the change to the final artwork.

Career Locker: Career Analysis


Microbiologist

      Microbiology is in the Science and Mathematics Pathway, under the Science, Technology, Engineering, and Mathematics pathway. A microbiologist studies the growth, structure, and development of microscopic organisms. They work for government agencies, colleges and universities, research and testing labs, and the biotechnology industry. They work 40 hours a week inside a lab, where they use specialized equipment, such as electron microscopes or flow cytometers, to study microorganisms such as bacteria, viruses, algae, and fungi.
      To become a microbiologist, you must have at least a bachelors degree in Microbiology or a related field, such as Cell Biology or Immunology. For more advanced positions, it may be necessary for the applicant to have a masters degree or even a Ph.D. However, it is possible to advance one's career through experience without a masters or Ph.D. The higher levels of degree pay off, however, as an entry level microbiologist makes an average of $39,150 per year, and an experienced microbiologist makes an average of $113,150 per year.
      I really love science, and I love how innovative the field of microbiology is right now. It is a field that is growing quickly and expanding into the medical field, another area I'm interested in. I would like to work in a lab conducting scientific research which might one day lead to a discovery that could lead to a cure for a disease.


Translator and Interpreter

      Translating and Interpreting is in the Government and Public Administration Cluster, Foreign Services Pathway; the Health Science Cluster, Therapeutic Services Pathway; and the Hospitality and Tourism Cluster, Travel and Tourism Pathway. Translators communicate information from one language to another. They translate documents, manuals, legal papers, and news. They also help people who speak different languages communicate though simultaneous interpreting and other methods during telephone conferences, seminars, and international conferences.
      To become a translator, an applicant must speak two or more languages. It is also generally required that they have an associates or a bachelors degree, preferably in a language though not necessarily. Most employers ask for a demonstration of an applicant's ability or a trial run before deciding to hire the applicant. For those interpreters who wish to work for the government, applicants must first pass a test to qualify for an interview. Entry level translators can expect to make around $22,810 a year, while experienced translators will make an average of $74,150 per year.
      I love languages and I love working with people in a professional setting. This job also lends itself to travel, which is another thing on my list of favorites. Being a translator would allow me to meet new people and explore new places.


Extension Agent

      Extension Agents exist in the Agriculture, Food, and Natural Resources Cluster, Plant Systems Pathway and Animal Systems Pathway; and the Education and Training Cluster, Teaching and Training Pathway. Extension Agents work for a government agency, university, or commercial company. They act as a liaison between their agency and the public. They direct educational programs to show the community how their company can improve their lives, and help to bring awareness of new innovations and ideas which could directly affect public life.
      To become an extension agent, an applicant must have a minimum of a masters degree in a related field. Most common are degrees relating to Agriculture Science or Education, and all extension agents must have taken some classes in education. Advancement within the career is determined though personal effort, and extension agents can rise to specialists at the county, district, area, and state levels, and, if working for a university, dean. On average, entry level extension agents make $22,010 per year, and can expect to make $73,400 as an experienced extension agent.
      This career interests me on the condition that I work for a scientific research company. One of my cousins worked as an extension agent for a pharmaceutical company, and he got to learn about all of the research they were doing while also getting to speak with the public. I would like to be a connection between the wonders of scientific research and my community.
