Final Project Reflection Questions:
1. I do feel like I somewhat answered this question down below in number 2. I think anytime you have a piece where all the elements work together and are visually appealing they will help the message. Both pieces were clean and simple yet effective that reader's would help to focus on the words and the spirit of the Redford, Zim and their passions. I think an appeal to pathos is best created when we make connections with people. The Egyptian pyramids would be only a cool structure had it not been for our understanding of how difficult it would have been for hundreds or thousands of people enslaved in it's building. Why is Stonehenge so remarkable? Because of our curiosity of those who took time to build such a masterpiece. Who cares about any old festival which shows movies, unless the story of it's importance and beginnings are shared. Humans are empathetic creatures. Take even an appeal to Kairos, which regards to using a specific time. The example we had in lecture used Christmas. Christmas is generally connected with so many emotional feelings like nostalgia and cozy, family, fun filled times. Ethos, an appeal to one's credibility. We used credible sources to make our points because we feel these titles are of higher standing, and that, with title, comes more experience. I think the visual elements I chose created a clean platform for which my words and images could inspire the message. 2. I think both of my pieces appeared pretty professional looking. I think the colors I chose both were well representative of the message of each piece from the sunset colors of the Sundance piece to the playfully pink shades connected to Zim's home and his profession in my infographic on political cartoonist, Zim Zimmerman. I think they both looked clean and allowed reader's to focus on the message being presented. 3. I struggled most with my infographic on Zim. I struggled a few times to decide how exactly I wanted to organize the piece and what information would be most valuable to include. There wasn't a lot of information about Zim, which was odd since he was a big part of the cartoonist history, so that led me to some difficulties with my choices. Luckily, since I did grow up across from his home, I had some prior knowledge of the man behind the pen. 4. I would have liked to alter the cover page of my magazine profile layout on Sundance. It's fine for a school course, but had it been a piece to be released to the public professionally I would not be happy to put my name on it. Bu the rest of the piece I think looks great and I really loved the side story about The Egyptian Theater, the home of the Sundance Film Festival in Park City. I'm the person that if I were to keep analyzing the pieces, I would always find something to alter, but overall I think both pieces turned out well. Student Choice Reflection:
Assignment Chosen: Profile In Print 1. Honestly, I disliked the cover page, after going through multiple options and even making a collage from scratch, I mentally could decide anymore. However, I really liked the story I wrote and my favorite part was the side story about the creator of Wonder Woman, William Moulton Marston. I also thought the title I came up with, "The Man Behind the Wonder" was really clever and perfect for the piece. While I feel somewhat cheesy picking a superhero, I really enjoy educating people about Wonder Woman because she wasn't simply a cartoon to make money off of. She was inspired by a man who actually thought women were superior in every way to men, and he was an advocate for women's rights. I love the story behind Wonder Woman and I think she is a vital piece of history. 2. I had not before created a magazine profile. To learn about side stories and text breakdown throughout the piece was very useful in creating my magazine profile for my final project. Considering the side story in both my Profiles in Print piece and my final persuasive piece on Sundance are my favorite parts, the skills I gained definitely helped show me how a side story should not be a space filler, but rather should enhance the article. I think both side stories enhanced the pieces.
