Creating Visual Coherence:
- How might I vary the fonts used in my project for emphasis, such as in the title and body of my project?
- I plan on potentially varying the font of title of my blog post to make it stand out on the page. However, other than the title I will keep the rest of my post's body in one uniform font.
- Are the different fonts I use complimentary, or is the combination distracting?
- I think that having a different font for the title of my text would be complimentary to my work and be attractive to my audience. But, I do indeed think that having multiple fonts throughout my blog post would be distracting to my audience and make it seem that some aspects of my writing are more important than others, thus I will keep the body of my text in one font.
- Do the headings for different sections of my argument stand out and break the text up clearly?
- I intend on making my subheadings in a larger font than the the rest of my editorial's body, but not as large as the title. This would help my audience realize that there will be an obvious shift in the topic of my argument.
Creating Visual Salience
- Does the image inform or emphasize my argument in an important way, or does it seem superficial or unrelated to my argument.
- I plan on including a photograph of some sort at the start of my post. This image's purpose will be to grab my readers' attention and appeal to their emotions in some way, thus it will emphasize my argument, and follow the convention of including an image in a blog post.
- If the image is a graph or chart, does it clearly support a major point of my argument, or is it superfluous?
- I plan on including one or two forms of graphical data to further support my argument. I think that at least on of the charts will be about the addictiveness of marijuana in comparison to other drugs. This chart will help my argument against the claim that marijuana is highly addictive, which will benefit my editorial's overall purpose.
Creating Visual Impact
- Looking back at your images, are they placed or sequenced in the most persuasive way?
- Though I haven't constructed my rough draft yet, I think that the images that I choose will be placed in an effective manner. I want to have an image that gets my readers thinking about the issue of marijuana legalization at the beginning of my blog post, and a chart or two within the body of my argument. I feel like this layout of visual aids will definitely be effective.
Sounds like you've got an awesome plan! The provocative photograph will really draw readers in, and will give them an idea of what you're writing about. The charts sound like a good idea, but you might also want to include other images in a blog post if it's going to be longer. Balance out your informational visuals with intriguing visuals. Keep up the good work!
