Explanatory Paper for Project 3
Nicholas Domenico Section: For my section of project three I chose Oakley as the dog I would make a poster about to help him get adopted. All the dogs that we chose were from the humane society website. I chose Oakley because he looks like my dog and that makes me feel like I had a personal reason to help him get adopted. I put all the information to adopt Oakley in the bottom left of the poster because it makes the poster look more professional. We chose the green hill background to help the viewers imagine them playing with the dogs outside and to give them a welcoming feeling when they look at our poster. I believe personally that our poster falls more under the pathos view/rhetorical because we added a lot of visual components to get people to adopt the dogs we chose.
Megan Bender Section: In our group project, my group and I chose a dog that is up for adoption and briefly described and added information for a few. All of our dogs listed in the project were found by the Humane Society. I chose Yang, and most of her information is included in the presentation but you can find more on the website that was listed. For the project we had an animal theme to match with what we were doing and listed all of our dogs instead of just two but I feel that is better for the poster since the audience can still see every dog. I do agree that this is more of a persuasive poster because we want to convince people to adopt.
Bryson Williams Section: For the group project our group decided to work with the Humane Society of Camden County and choose a senior dog that was up for adoption with a brief description of the dog and his/her personality and personal traits. I decided to choose Jinn as my dog of choice, the information provided on Jinn can be found on the community partners website with all questions and answers as well with regards to anyone interested in adopting Jinn. I placed Jinn’s information on the right of his photo. For the project design we chose a more pet friendly visual that would give the reader a friendly welcome, with an understanding and idea of what it will correlate to. I agree with my group members that this is a more persuasive project since we are trying to convince the reader on the importance of adoption. The project falls under a pathos rhetorical due to the visual aspects of project along with the fact we used the pictures of the dogs to help persuade.
Jakob Koehn Section: For our project three assignment, we all chose a dog to make a google slide about. We found our dogs on the Humane Society website, and I decided on Teva, not for any real particular reason. I included all the information that the website had for me to include.
We all had the same nature background for our slides, so that wouldn’t change. Teva is a female German Shepard, so of course, I put a big picture of her and put a border around it to make it stand out better. I made the font bigger and put in bold the adoption fee and want to contact us part because I found that that was important information. The only real argument for rhetorical appeal is that I want someone to adopt my dog, but I wouldn’t consider it to be an argument. It is more about making a persuasive poster to me. I think this project would fall under a pathos rhetorical appeal because it uses pictures to persuade.
