Behance Network is a Blog where every professional can show their work related to the graphic and industrial design, architecture, fashion and photography. Many companies look for creative work finding what they need. In other words, this site allows people to show their own creative and personal work to the world.

One of the features of this site is that you can upload pictures and a description of the submitted work using graphically a modern layout system.

I like this site because it allows me to have referents to do my own work; when I need help, I look at other works and I start to analize their grafic features building a mental map in my mind about what I´ll do.
I visit this Web site about once a week,  every time I need help, or simply for having fun looking at other works related to the graphic design.

DEATH NOTE

I think that Death Note has been one of the best anime shows I never saw; this is a TV show created in base of the Japanese comic book called "Manga". The story is about a guy that finds a weird book called "Death Note", this book has the peculiarity that can kill every person whose name will be written there; this book was property of a God of the death (In Japanese it is called Shinigami) called "Ryuk" who let it fall intentionally in the human world. "Light" (Raito), the guy who finds this book, starts to read the instructions thinking that it is a very stupid joke. He does a test writing the name of a killer that they are showing on TV, fourty second later this killer is dead. Light thinks that he can change the world with this book and starts to write so many names of killers, violators and thieves (bad persons) who they are showing on TV. Ryuk appears in front of Light and tells him that he will follow him for a lomg time having fun with what he is doing.
Light starts to kill so many people and thinks that he is a type of God in the earth. The peolple call this divine justice like "Kira" (Relative a Killer in Japanese language). But Light is in the eyes of the police (his father is a detective) as there is a very clever guy ("L" or "Eru" in  Japanese) that manages to think like a killer of this type.
 I think that I like it because it has a very clever level of argumentation in every moment,  how Kira kills peolple, the reasons of death, the thinking form of L to solve some queries, and the drawing is very showy.

The difference with other TV shows is: First, it is an animated series, no like with actors and real stages. Second, the plot is very interesting from the point of view of the justice and the power.
 This series called my atention in every moment because the central plot is a bit complex but very interesting, I felt so sad with the final chapter.

The characters were very clever persons with good and bad feelings, a bit cold but with a great reasoning ability.
