Our classmates provided us with many successful Decision 2012 projects on various topics using differing genres and during presentations, a select few had stood out to me for their own reasons. Sarah’s use of loaded genres, or genres that include both literary and visual aspects while appealing to both logos and pathos, made her project jump off of the screen and come alive in ways that not all projects were capable of and ultimately, it is these aforementioned characteristics that made her project as successful as it could be.
Sarah’s blog was highly accessible. The page by page layout provided a solid form of organization and made an almost Ikea like form of blog. She speaks to an audience that seems to be young and if not, she most definitely speaks to someone who falls on the liberal side of the political spectrum. Because of this, as I happen to be a member of both of her target audiences, I felt that her blog was very effective, easy to follow, and persuasive in its own right.
She used appeals that followed both logos and pathos. The images that she included, even from the onset of her project in her prologue, appealed to the emotional side of her audience. She paid high attention to detail especially when considering the emotional appeal to her reader, wherein even her buttons that connect her pages read sayings like, “Help Start a Revolution” and “A Story of Love” as opposed to “Next” or something else generic.
Her blog seemed as if it was constructed quite carefully. She was cognoscente of the fact that there are many people in our society that may not agree with the message that her project was promoting and, subliminally, made rather clear that this piece was not for them. She stayed true to her topic throughout and delivered a clear, coherent display of equality for gay Americans.
Sarah's use of color and brightness worked well to substantiate her claims of a promising future and hope. Though her project served mainly as a vessel through which she was able to highlight the nation's flaws in providing equal rights to gay Americans, she kept the image of a promising future throughout. Her fonts were easy to read and helped to invite her reader into her project and there was no particular formatting issue that detracted from her work. Her project was clean and simple, especially because of her choice to create separate pages and hence, worked nicely to educate her reader.
Because of the written and stylistic choices that Sarah made in her Decision 2012 multimodal project and her use of logos and pathos to appeal to her reader, her final product was one that stood out from the rest of the class. Her formatting approach was simplistic and effective and her genres were varied and loaded, wherein she appealed to many sense of her reader simultaneously. Consequently, Sarah has left her reader with one hell of a multigenre punch and in turn, an impressive statement on equa
