Views on Advertisements

Throughout this project I found that my views on advertisements have changed because when I look at an advertisement I look at it more into detail and I judge it a lot more. I look at the advertisement from every angle now. I used to just glance over the advertisement and not actually look at it. 

I do not believe that I am a passive audience to visual arguments anymore because I now look more into detail when it comes to visual arguments. I don't just look at the picture on the advertisement, I look at the whole meaning behind the picture. 

I have definitely noticed a change in the manner that I look at visual arguments. I used to alway just look at the pictures of the advertisements but never look at the meaning it portrayed.  I now look deeper into the image and look at what the whole thing means.

As a dedicated magazine reader I have found myself viewing visuals in many different ways. I find that it really depends on what article or picture I am viewing, depending on the picture then that it how I view my visual. I find myself being a passive viewer. 
When I look at a visual in a magazine or even in a newspaper I find myself not reading into it too much. I look at the surface of the picture, I don't go into too much detail about it. 
I like to know the meaning of the picture by just glancing at it. If there is a challenge to it then I will look more into the picture so then I would change my view and view visuals as a critical viewer. I think that everyone views everything in such a different way and thats what makes us all unique. Even if what we view is as simple as "visuals". It brings out such different characteristics in each and every one of us. 

Revision leads to Great Success! Jan. 31, 2011

With the meetings that were held last week I felt as though it led me to be on the right path to becoming successful when doing my project. It changed my revision process because it gave me a different point of view and it led me to be more open minded when it comes to writing things and doing things for school. My revision process before this was to read what I wrote and skim it to see if i had any errors. I never went into complete depth to revise my papers. 

The structure of this class led me to being open minded because I realized there are many different ways to revise and edit your paper. It’s always good to keep an open mind! Never close out another persons opinion just because it may not be similar to your own. Being open-minded has been extremely beneficial, it opens the doors for so many new things. It brings so much more excitement to your life, just by looking at things from a new perspective. Looking at life with the glass half-full is much better than looking at it when its half-empty. You open many more doors for yourself and for others when your willing to try something new, and thats what I have learned through this class.

Having outside help does affect your end product because it gives you a better perspective on things, and it shows you that there are many different ways to do things. Your end product will be a lot more clear and you will get your point across a lot better if people can relate to what your saying. Be open-minded, don’t shut the world out!
