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?

Dot + Visual Grammar

This is from class Wednesday 8/24: Dot + Visual Grammar, where we did 12 versions of each gestalt principle, with three themes to explore. My three themes were pills (medication), books, and nature. Out of all three I really like my nature photos, because I wanted to explore these principles through the environment instead of just objects. I also like my pills as well because I feel like they visually explain each principle better than the other two. I am going to post my favorite ones, as well as my contact sheet.

S.O.S Layout Assistance

The next project for Type 3 we had to design a product that people (student designers) could use to learn about a specific part of typography / typesetting. We were supposed to choose an aspect about type that we necessarily did not know ourselves / something we could have used when learning to typeset The Exegesis. After typesetting The Exegesis, I realized my biggest issue was margins and layout design. So, I teamed up with Brooke Cirone to develop a product that people can play with to help view text boxes in a manipulative and creative way. This helped me understand spatial value, and understanding that layouts don't just have to be boxes - they can be any shape you please. We also had to develop packaging, I wanted to create a box with a sticker to show the branding - but time and costs became a big issue. We chose a clear holder to hold all of the materials in that could essentially be packaged the way it came, with a handy dandy holder to place materials and can be easily s...
