Revised learner profile ad

 

Revision suggestion: The poster ad she did is pretty good. What I like about it is that she displayed what she thinks about caring. Her images are very interesting and well put together. All of the images show something that represent caring. An example would be the recycling picture with the tree branch because people who recycle care about the environment and that's caring. Her image quality is also very nice. One thing she could of done better though is adjust the brightness so the images could be easier to see. Other than that, her Learner Profile advertisement in my opinion was nearly perfect. 

To revise this, I bumped up the brightness and contrast on the objects in the picture and the background. I also made the picture more vibrant and blurred the edges of the pictures to make them blend better. I also changed the text to "Helping others spread empathy" instead of "helping others to spread empathy/"

Magazine Revision Critique for Logan

The background and font used is appealing for an advertisement because it is clean and allows the main object to be in focus. The idea of the headphones is a good idea but they could be formed into some sort of shape, such as a radio or iPod. The headphones are not cut out cleanly and kind of don't look like headphones. The advertisement could also use body text instead of just a title. The colors of the advertisement are good.

Learner Profile

This poster or ad is for the Learner Profile trait caring. This displays this trait with pictures of a heart for harvest of love, a white board found in Sand Creek that has a motivational quote written on it, a painting of a woman kissing batman on the cheek, a recycling sign, a description of the painting "America," flags from different countries, and the saying, "diversity bears fruit."
Being diverse and accepting others from different places and  cultures is caring because it gives everyone the same opportunities and accepts them into society.
Motivating others to do well and live life in a positive way is done by caring for others and spreading empathy. Also providing resources to others that are in need for the holidays displays this character trait in a big way.
Caring also means helping maintain the environment and the world we live in. This is represented by the recycling symbol next to the tree branch.

Recontextualizing and gaze-position

 

 

     Gaze- position is the way the intended audience is supposed to view at the picture or advertisement. Creating a certain gaze position can target the people a cpmpany or artist wants to target. Recontextualization is when a familiar image or ad is changed or put in a different environment to change the gaze-position and the audience.

     In my recontextualizing project, I took coke and pepsi advertisements and changed them to display how unhealthy the product actually is. I used photoshop tools such as the paint brush tool, liquify, the clone stamp, and the text tool. The ads are to create awareness of the health risks these sodas result in.

     In the coke advertisement, the ad was changed to "perfectly fattening," because what other kind of "perfection" could coke bring? Im sure diabetes is not perfection. I also changed the image so that the person holding the coke bottle is a bit more chubby in the face that in the actual ad. She looks a litter ridiculous, however I wanted to keep the same person in the ad to create the effect that fit, healthy woman were not as likely to be the buyers of coke.

     In the pepsi ad, the straw is refusing to go into the coke can, obviously directed towards pepsi drinkers and people who argue over which one is better. However, when the ad is recontextualized, pepsi and coke are both so poisonous, that the cans and straws are being eaten away and distorted by a brown acid. Along with picture is a text box cantaining the words "Doesn't matter which one you chose" because they are both equally hazardous.

     By recontextualizing these images, the message changes completely, by only adding a few details. The audience is changed and a new idea is born.
