Platued

How has our discussion of visual rhetoric changed the way I look at advertising and other visuals? To be honest, I haven't had any change at all outside of class discussions. I look at things the same way I always have. I'm an artist, you see, so I analyze everything anyways. I always analyze how the colors, if any, in an ad or visuals contrast and stand out. I notice any focal points or anything of that sort that has to do with artsy stuff. I analyze objects and their placements, compositions, layouts, patterns, lyrics/words, and how the ad or visual makes me feel. In general, I analyze everything anyways. Besides learning new english vocabulary, I don't really look at anything in a new perspective than what I already do. I know I'm being repetitive, but it's the truth. I'm emphasizing the fact that I already really knew how to do this, but this english class has given the vocabulary terms and names for the things I'm doing. Class discussions have also clarified the ads, strategies, and analysis terms for me and brought them into better perspective rather than me just looking at something and saying, "Oh well, that color clashes with that color," or "Those lyrics can be interpreted in this way."
