Wysocki reading

For my website I would choose to make it very clean, but colorful. Wysocki addresses the fact that when looking at a piece of work you automatically categorize it. For example, when you see a black and white paper that is double spaced with twelve font you automatically think of a school paper. For my website, I would choose to veer away from that because I want to attract people of all audiences and interests. Wysocki also talks about the importance of photographs and states that they “add a sense of reality”. I would choose to add photographs to my website in order to make it more interesting and not all words, which can be unappealing to some audiences. Wysocki addresses the importance of font and font size. The font can change the overall appeal of the message so it’s very important to choose a font that matches your message.

    I will also be using what I learned from this article and apply it to my website for project 3. I also want to veer away from the black and white school paper type and make my website colorful and unique.

Action Plan

Jacqueline Kulle The peer review helped me a lot for my action plan and gave me more ideas and insight on what I should do. I was struggling with what I should do for my subversion, and I got the idea to do a meme or a comic strip. I have to finish and touch up my website, finish my nondigital picture, finish my comic strip, and get more participants for my survey. The peer review was beneficial and now I have a much clear idea on how I should do this project.

Subversion and Redemption. Rachel Klahm

1. Some subversion examples the author mentions are Max in  Where the Wild Things Are and Don Quixote. Other movies that are subversions are  A Haunted House and WALL-E. WALL-E is a subversion because it's a light hearted cartoon with a much deeper meaning. Humans have abused planet Earth with industrial corporations to the point where they must abandon it until robots have cleaned it up. The moral lesson is that technology and industry are bad and if we continue on the path we're on, the Earth will turn into the trash ridden world that is in WALL-E. Despite this, the film is still pro-human. Compared to the usual "humans are bad for nature" lesson, WALL-E  actually shows why Earth needs humans. The movie has no real dialogue from anyone, just robot sounds and intercom voices on the ship that the humans live on. When WALL-E   meets Eva they ask each other "Directive?" which basically means "What's your purpose?" Each robot in the film has a dir...

Mary Katherine Rankey annoying ways

The reading "Annoying Ways" is all about the annoying ways people choose to use their sources and the things they can do to change those quirks. The reading discussed the proper ways to cite sources and to cite quotes that the writer uses in their paper. The reading also discusses the importance of where to put a quote. Often times I find the perfect quote, but put it in an awkward place in the sentence, which not only makes my work more sloppy, but also takes away from the message of the quote. The author uses a lot of analogies in his writing to explain how the annoying ways of improper uses of quotes can mimic annoying things in real life. The reading taught me ways I can fix my writing style to fix those annoying habits I have.
