MX IDEATION

1. the whole portfolio resides on one huge page. begins with just the categories and a click on one category would animate the page to a corner showing the entire collection of that category.

2. similar to number one, but with a hot button effect (print= up, web=down, motion=right, back=left) - going any direction would animate but also create an overlay of more options and/or images.

3. stack of books in a 3d space that each hold print, motion, web, etc.

CHINESE LANTERN QUICK RESEARCH:


what is the impact/relationship to other products?
-RELATIONSHIP
materials made out of: papers, wires, woods, electrical
hangs off of other products
used to illuminate other products

what is one argument (from a social, historical, technical, or environmental point of view) that can be made about the object?
-ARGUMENT: social, historical
:this object (chinese lantern) is an incredibly prominent symbol in the chinese culture.
:many hundreds of years ago, this symbol or object held religious affiliations.
:the lantern is used to tell stories, feelings, emotions, and events (i.e. white meaning someone had died)
:the lantern today is used in certain celebrations such as the chinese new year.
:the chinese lantern has also become a part of other cultures (such as the american culture), however omitting the social and historical significance. - yet another americanized object.

what are the ramifications or benefits of this system?
benefits of this system could/would be the education of the lantern, or chinese culture in general- and that one should understand the meaning - or great mode of communication that this object holds.
ramifications could include the superiority complex of cultures (american or chinese) in what people can have, hold, and use to their discretion.

how could that engage in a dialectic based on the second postcard?
the fact that our culture uses this sacred lantern merely for display or decoration strips the unit of its meaning in entirety. symbols such as color or style of make are no longer held onto when they are mass produced and distributed amongst the culturally ignorant.

VISUAL LANGUAGE: project 2, FINAL POSTERS. . . . . finally. . .

FULL RESOLUTION:

get the vote out FR


LOW RES:

get the vote out LR




My two concepts were in plain, about voting for the issues.

the first poster with the monkeys is saying that both candidates are the same- - - in that they are both fighting for what they believe in. . . while also providing the media with a healthy dose of slander on each other. so instead of voting for a candidate, vote for the issues that you most believe in.

the second poster is along the same lines as the first. not listening to what is coming out of the candidates mouths or the crappy commercials that they approve-- but actually listening to the issues and what they mean to you. . .

rhetorical tropes applied:

irony
personification
hyperbole
parody

1.

RHETORICAL TROPES USED:
hyperbole is used through the scribbles through the mouths to emphasize the candidates not speaking--or one not listening to what come out of their mouths.
irony is used in the way that the mouths are scratched out, yet the poster is talking about speaking.
personification is displayed through the type, giving the word issues a humanistic trait in it being able to speak.




2.

RHETORICAL TROPES USED:

parody is used in the two monkeys as they are supposed to be mocking the donkey and elephant symbols.
irony is shown in terms of the candidates being portrayed as a derogatory animal instead of having the donkey / elephant symbol connotation. --the text says forget the faces, yet the monkeys are made of the faces.
personification is used through the monkeys being the candidates.
