ORGANIZATION
There is a strong cohesive transition between the information and ideas presented in my writing. The strength of the piece and it's sense of structure is improved as a result of it.
ETHOS PATHOS LOGOS WKSHT
An often overlooked aspect when it comes to presenting portfolios, this worksheet is just a peek of my abilities in terms of being capable of organization. In this assignment, we, as a MeneMAC class, took notes of Ethos, Pathos, and Logos--three of the ways in writing to appeal to readers--and critiqued essays according to the three. Observing the notes in the images to the right, they're concise and straight to the point. Something as simple as the way I bulleted the notes, to the subheadings to the right of the main ideas, makes a world of a difference. I personally am one to stress organization, as it serves as the backbone to everything; writing, art, work, etc. Without it, this page of notes likely would've been a mess of words scrambled all over the place with no regard for flow. Without it in art or work, things would be too confusing for a viewer, reader, customer, etc. to comprehend and would either brush the piece off as incomplete, vague, or amateur.
RISKY BUSINESS VIDEO
Being a part of MeneMAC, the first two years and their core classes will consist of similar assignments that traditional classes have, with an integration of media. This assignment was one of those integrations. Producing a video is arguably one of the things that requires both an incredible amount of organization, but just enough to remain supple and flexible, should something not go exactly as desired. Though this video didn't necessarily come out exactly as I envisioned, my group and I were able to at least provide a logical set of sequences in the video that goes from point "A" to point "B". The essay that goes along with this exact project actually covers much more information than what is presented in the form of the video. However, because this was a mini-documentary, slimming the information we had and taking the most important points was vital to making the viewing experience a cohesive one.
