Midterm Review

Monday, September 28, 2015

When my group and I were working on our poster, I thought that we worked well together. We connected together and decided what prompt to use, that we all agreed upon. I thought that while we were making our poster, we wanted something that would stand out to the campus and something that would relate to the students of McKendree. We took action and made a poster that was very well developed. I liked that when we were in class, that people would critique our poster to make it even better than it was. In chapter ten it talks about sequence and I feel that we used that in our poster with our bearcat paws. All in all, I feel that this poster project went really well and making the poster was frustrating at times because we didn't know how to you the certain poster websites; however, we worked together and made a poster that is now all over the campus to help market our Humanities Division.

Cartoon Assingment


                                                              Ad Hominem Fallacy

 I found this image through google image and I picked this one because it was the one that I understood the most. I also picked this one because I thought it was hilarious. The Ad Hominem Fallacy attempts to discredit the speaker's argument by attacking the speaker's character. I thought this image did it's duty very well.




                                                       Begging the question fallacy

I found this cartoon on google as well. I picked this one because I hear this from  a lot of people and I found this cartoon to be pretty funny. Begging the question assumes the conclusion and incorporates it into a claim.



                                                       Genetic Fallacy

I chose this one because a lot of the Genetic fallacy cartoons I found were pretty inappropriate. This one wasn't as bad but I find it to be pretty hilarious. Genetic Fallacy is when one assumes that a person's origins determine his or her character.

Septermber 9, 2015 (assingment on chapter one)

Throughout chapter one, it discusses the meaning of what New Media actually is. One of the key points that stood out to me, was how even digital messages can be material based. As in, something you can hold physically. I have never though of that because usually I feel that all material on the internet is safe and that whenever I want to look at something, I know that it will always be there. So, the idea of actually having it to touch was a weird idea to think about. The new media writer has the whole world as their audience. That was very intimidating to think about because everyone can see your work. That really stood out to me because, whenever I'm writing or working on a project, I typically believe that my audience are my classmates and my teachers. Finally, another point that was brought to my attention in chapter one what the image of the dancer. It made my realized that I use my right hemisphere of my brain more than my left. It was neat that it didn't actually indicate that I use my right hemisphere more than my left side but it started to make me think and analyze if I actually do.




In the future, will new media take over traditional writing or will is stay the same as it is now?
