Copyright

cmaosu1 — Tue, 06 Nov 2007 15:44:24 +0000

I think that copyrights are very important aspect when creating some sort of project wheather it be media or writing. Copyrights help us all to be more ethical and moralistic when we “borrow” others work to aide in the design of our own. Copyrights protect the original composers work form being duplicated and sometines ruiened by another who either likes or dosent like the work.

Responce to “The New Game”

I feel that the audience for this particular audio piece are teens but more specifucally teens with problems who might be somewhat depressed or even suicidle. I don’t think that the audio piece has specific gender for its audience, i think it is directed towards both males and females. I think that the piece is directed towards those who have thought about cutting or are cutting to release some kind of pain or self loathing. I think that the audience is mostly those in high school and junior highs because thats when the sense of inferiority and experimentation usully start.

Reading through the differnt principals of design i became very informed about how to make certain text and images more lively an dhow to attract more to read what is written. There are design principals in really everything you read. I found it very interesting to dicipher through differnt forms of text to find each design principal troughout the reading.

Visual Assignment

I found the assignment to be somewhat difficult because some of the terms were kind of confusing. I used the examples given to find other pictures or some other type of visual to complete this assignment. Once I was started it went quick and I was able to look at a photograph and decide wheather or not it fell into one of the classifications.

Men Women

Gender Role examples….

Visual Rhetoric

cmaosu1 — Thu, 27 Sep 2007 15:14:02 +0000

1. Visual rehetoric helps us learn and make changes in our culture because it shows us what types of images and text are accepted by the culture and what has been accepted for many years before. We need to analyze and create texts that do not ingnore the visual.

2. An example of “paying attention” would be looking at text and images on websites, serious pages might be bold and have images of a deeper value where as pages with flowers and smiley faces might portray a site devoted to something happy and encouraging.

3. In my own weblog i feel that if my text was changed it might attract a whole differnt audience. If i were to and images it may attract more people to see what i have posted both in text and images. When you change color or types of text they express a whole differnt meaning to the reader. Large red and black words might show anger where smaller italic blue words might express joy and happienss.

Response to Kairos

1. Kairos is the best possible time and or place for a certain opportunity to take place.

2. To make a good argument the time and place is crucial, so Kairos is huge.

3. Issue: Healthcare

Yes, it is important today because we will all need it in the future

The rich dont want higher taxes, and the poor need a government funded healthcare to survive

Consider all possible options for many differnt people

Taxes would raise which in turn would mean less monet going back into the economy

The people have the power to decide with their votes

Debates, open mics, and other platform speeches gives each group a time and place to express their views to their followers and others

Neither group seems to have a louder voice because they each attract different people with different views

What A Nice Day

Today is September 20th and it is a bright sunny day with the temperature hovering around 80 degrees. It is a perfect day for doing an outdoor activity such as tennis or golf. Hopefully there are more days to come such as this one before the dreaded winter months.
