Color Choices
If my project has a background, what color is the most appropriate for the project, the most visually engaging?
I would say that a white background is most appropriate because I am doing an article and I would not want the background color to take away from the content. If the background were a different color it would distract the reader from the content.
Thinking of my background color, what color should the font be in order to be readable and appropriate to the message of the project?
A black font is very readable over a white background. A colored text would take away from the message of the text as readers may not take the article as serious.
Font Choices
How might I vary the fonts used in my project for emphasis, such as in the title and body of my projects?
The font of my body paragraph will be the same through out. I will use a larger font for the title so that it stands out. The font will be a basic easy to read font.
Are the fonts appropriate to the visual-rhetorical tone of my project?
The fonts are appropriates for my project because I am trying to keep my project formal and focused on the statistics and evidence that backs up my claims. If my font was unprofessional than it would take away a use of an ethos appeal.
What color do fonts need to be in order to stand out against the backgrounds of my project?
Since I plan on using a white background nearly any color would work. However, since I plan on having my article look professional I will be using a black font which works perfectly on a white background.
Image Selection
Is the theme or association that the image produces relevant to the theme of my argument?
I plan on using an image that shows happy business owners from a business that used social media to become very successful. I feel that an image like this will help with emotional appeal.
Is the feeling or tone that the image invokes appropriate to the visual-rhetorical tone of my argument?
Creating a emotional feeling with an image is important to an article. A picture is worth a thousand words and an emotional picture can really help with the message that an author is trying to get across.
If the image is a graph or chart, does it clearly support a major point of my argument, or is it superfluous?
If I included a graph it would support a point in my argument. It would also be very helpful for those who prefer statistics visually as they can be easier to take in.
I agree that keeping a professional style in regards to the presentation of your project would be best for your topic. I know that I definitely get distracted when there are too many colors and I tend to focus more on why the colors are there than the actual text itself. Also, the idea of including a graph is great! Good job!
ReplyDeleteI agree with Breanna that it's important to ensure that your style remains professional in the public speech, especially if you want to ensure you retain your audience's respect and attention.
