TYPE 3: Speech Analysis

The speech I chose was Ashley Judd's "Nasty Woman" at the
Women's March, the video is here.

Some things I picked up were:

She emphasized a lot of key words
Very aggressive with sharp movements and sharp articulate
Also emotional at times, can hear the sadness in her voice with provokes empathy
Pauses often for effect, but never too long or too much
Her voice fluctuates in volume to add depth within her speech
Drawn-out words to articulate and assert like CONflict, TRANSphobia, etc.
Seems frustrated like begging for people to hear her words, but also confirming what a lot of those people feel
Moves her body a lot and has no problem speaking and articulating with her hands and arms
Voice cracks a few times because of the force she is putting behind them
Yelling almost, in a very "as a matter of fact" way1
Never interrupts herself - she does it once because she accidently said a brand name of something and then corrected herself and went on to what she was talking about
She messed up only once, a little flustered after the brand name mix up but it wasn't quite noticeable (only when you've watched it a lot)

Modes of Persuasion

Notes on Video 350 BCE Aristotle organized his Modes of Persuasion into three different categories that would help made things more appealing to audiences: “Of the modes of persuasion furnished by the spoken work there are three kinds : Ethos - Persuasion is achieved by the speaker’s personal character when the speech is so spoken as to make us think him credible Pathos - Secondly, persuasion may come through the hearers, when he speech stirs their emotions Logos - Persuasion is effected through the speech itself when we have proved a truth or an apparent truth by means of the persuasive arguments suitable to the case in question.” Ethos: An Ethical Appeal Greek for “ character” - Persuading based of the character of the author Does the author have credibility?

Gestalt: Final

This post is going to be combining a few different class days in Visual Communication I. Wednesday 9/7 : We toured the Print Shop and got our information to print our final version of our Visual Order: Gestalt books. I did not get a desk crit with Emmy that day. Monday 9/12: I was absent this day with a doctor's note, but I sent my mockup to Emmy, while others brought their printed mockups to class for group critiques. Wednesday 9/14: This day we started our new project Monday Prototyping, which has it's own blog post. For Gestalt, I wanted to make this note to place the feedback I got on my mockup. Tyler Make body text lowercase. Words in capital letters have the same shape (a rectangle) so, they’re harder to distinguish Rethink horizontal lines, everything is already distinguishable in their own space Rethink border around both left and right side How to make everything more related First few pages have block behind text, but not the rest Emmy Too s...

Semiotics Learning Summary

I chose Factory Farming as my social issue for our lesson in semiotics. Our first assignment was to collect statistics and figure out our representations. This is on another blog post but I will place it again below: Social Issue: Factory Farms Iconic Representation: Animals, cages, bars, overcrowding Statistics: 1. A typical supermarket chicken today contains more than twice the fat, and about a third less protein than 40 years ago 2. Hog, chicken and cattle waste has polluted 35,000 miles of rivers in 22 states and contaminated groundwater in 17 states. 3. Egg-laying hens are sometimes starved for up to 14 days, exposed to changing light patterns and given no water in order to shock their bodies into molting. It’s common for 5% to 10% of hens to die during the forced molting process. 4. According to one study, 65 percent of all hogs tested had pneumonia-like lesions on their lungs. Researchers believe this is due to ammonia and other gases released f...
