In the text he talks about the different fonts and their size and the effects they have on certain media. I found it interesting when he wrote a sentence in the typeface they used in Europe, I had trouble reading it although that was normal back then. Also, he explain how now-a-days we don’t read for the information we look for the headings and then read for information we need. I found this to be funny because its true for me at least. When I am putting something together and I need to read the directions I don’t read the whole brochure I look for the section that will help me with my problem. Also, when designing a logo, the constructer has to think about many aspects such as, the audience and the meaning it will portray. For example, when he talked about the mountains for an insurance company he explained that it would show, “… the company is solid and reliable but also big and likely to be around for a long time.” This illustrate that there is a meaning in every little thing when it comes to visual presentation. This article helped me realized that when creating project three I need to look at every detail down to the font size.

Action Plan

For my action plan I will add more pictures to my website and continue to expand on my topic. I also plan to make posters to place around campus to reach outside audiences and use that as my nondigital source. I will continue to work over the weekend to finish the project and best carry out my message on my website.

1) In project two I first did a lot of research to gather ideas and topics that I wanted to include in my essay. Then I went through and proofed it while adding citations and formatting everything. I did ended up doing three drafts rather than two. Project one was a little easier to write in my opinion because it was based off of our observations rather than facts and statistics. 2) I liked taking my first draft and transforming it into a final draft. This is where I organized all my thoughts and made the paper flow nicely. Once I have all my ideas out on the paper I can easily reorganize, cut and add new things. 3) I enjoyed project one more. I think it was lighter in the sense that it was more fun to write about. I liked exploring the different kinds of social adaptions in the films while also comparing time eras.

"Really Responding"

Sophia Fundora  The text "Really Responding" surprised me in the way that Richard Straub claimed that putting forth maximum effort when peer reviewing someone else's paper could make you an even better writer. He emphasizes the importance of writing comments within the margarines and summarizing the paper in your own words. I believe that this strategy mentioned could be very helpful not only for the person who's paper your reviewing but for yourself as well. It helps the writer see how the audience would perceive their paper and what they need to work on. It helps the reviewer by enhancing their comprehension skills and applying their own comments on their own paper as well. I also believe his strategy of taking the stage of drafting in to consideration when peer reviewing could be very helpful. For example, Straub mentions how if it's a first or rough draft, try not to deal with all the editing at once but instead focus on the large picture like the focus, con...
