Here is a caption for the newspaper article image with a caption

Journal #10: Icons, Logos, Symbols, Photographs, and Other Images

Blog won't allow me to upload photos at this time.  I will bring a physical paper copy to class for grading use.

9.  Collage or photo essay

Here are two of a collection of pictures that make up the picture essay: “Mean Streets”  Working thesis, “Thousands of rural children struggle to make a living on the tough streets of Vietnam. This is their Story.”

 

10. Photo or image using stereotypes

Gender stereotype on youth in Disney.

 

11. Political cartoon

 

12.  Educational or instructional cartoon

 

Schoolhouse Rock: “I’m just a bill, yes I’m only a bill, and I’m sitting here on Capitol Hill.”  This cartoon from Saturday morning is how I know what a bill is. 

 

13. Text or image showing intertextuality

The Simpsons play with intertextuality frequently.  Here are two examples of intertextuality of famous artwork.  The Persistence of Memory by Dali, and Scream by Van Gough.

 

14. Color to attract attention or create an atmosphere

 

Research has proven that the colors “red” and “yellow” attract customers and actually make them more hungry for the product.

 

15.  Color to develop associations or aid retention

 

Justin Bieber has taken over the world and also the color purple.  It has become so wildly associated with him that purple has become an association of Biebermania.

Purple can also be associated with homosexuality… as are rainbows.

(In no way do I mean for Biebermania and homosexuality to be linked.)

 

Journal 8

Unethical Advertisements:

This just makes me sad.  An ad to make people aware of global warming... but how far is too far? 

Weight loss ads: Unethical because they usually use models that are thin already.  Not to mention it's not actually safe to lose a lot of weight in a short amount of time, ironic since losing weight should be healthy.

Xbox: Halo and other violent video games advertised to children.  Too realistic and geared toward warfare... especially in a time of war.

Visual Biography

Here is my visual biography project I did for class.  My first major experience with InDesign after only 3 classes. :)
I thought it might be fun to do a magazine spread of myself.  All things I love (obviously)!
