Design plan
Strategies
Ethos: I do not want to make it seem
like I know all the answers to my photo essay. I want to make it come off as
though I am an amateur. I want to make it seem to my audience that I am riding
along the journey with them.
Pathos: Based on my purpose
statement I want to make the audience feel motivated and connected to my story.
My audience does not have to feel motivated to do what I am posing but feel
motivated to do something they have always wanted to do.
Logos: Since I am doing physical
fitness my photos place emphasize on proper form when lifting. My photos depict
a progression of an exercise. It goes from a relaxed muscle to a contracted
muscle back to a relaxed muscle.
Medium
My medium will be a PowerPoint
presentation that uses a narrative, pictures and captions. The typeface that I
use will be a simple one that a reader can read for a long period of time. As
for my pictures, I am not the best photographer around but I want to make sure
that my audience sees proper form when it comes to lifting. As for my plan to
obtain theses picture, I went to the gym and started lifting as I normally
would. I only took pictures of me doing exercises with my warm up sets so I
don’t give up good form for a picture. I
will had someone else take the pictures and I reviewed them afterwards.
Arrangement
I want to have the audience see that
working out does not have to be an unpleasant experience. So I do not want to
overwhelm the audience. I want keep 3 pictures on the slide maximum. No more
than 3 and no less than 1. It has to be a progression of one exercise per
slide.
Purpose
1)
What is your motivation in this communication
situation?
I am communicating to provoke the idea of how there is beauty
in how the body works together. I am communicating to show people how diverse
workouts can be.
2)
What do you hope your audience will do or feel
or think after having experienced the communication you will produce?
I hope my audience will think about how muscle is
actually created. I want my audience to have a sense of what every workout
does.
3)
If there is some event or situation that made
you want to communicate with others, describe it in as much detail as
possible.
I want communicate physical fitness because I used to be
the scrawny kid in class. I want to communicate physical fitness because I was
also the fat one in class.
4)
What would be the best possible outcome of the
communication? What would be the worst possible outcome?
The best possible outcome would be that my audience gives
physical fitness a try.
My work possible outcome would be that my audience does
not trust me.
5)
How will your communication change the situation
in which you make the communication?
It will help my audience consider fitness.
Audience
1)
Generate a list of audience characteristics.
My audience will usually be anyone above the age of 12.
My audience can be any race or gender. They will also have some interest or
maybe even some basic knowledge about physical fitness.
2)
Imagine your audience members at the moment they
encounter the communication you make, no matter what you’re making.
My audience will probably be motivated enough to start
looking up basic information the internet. Maybe they even started their
journey to the gym and need to hear someone else’s story on why they lift and/or
run. They will be motivated or mad. Mad
because they might be fed up with their body image.
3)
Filter your list.
My audience can be anyone that is starting to get into
physical fitness. They might want to try something new or they might fed up
with their body image.
Context
1)
The time of the communication
The time of communication can be any time since it is on
the internet. My audience is going to be able to hear my thoughts any time of
the time or anytime of the year.
2)
The place of the communication.
The place of the communication will be behind a computer.
They can be using a Personal computer or a in a public area
3)
There border context of the communication
The internet is where the blog is going to be so my
audience might not trust the information I provide. They might think it is not
real science.

Reflection
I have deviated far away from my original plan and purpose statement but I think i did it for the better. You never really know where your going once you start and i felt like that once i actually started my photo essay. Mike Tyson explained it best when he said that everyone has plan until they get hit. Which is true, I had a purpose plan that i thought would be perfect but once i started my photo essay things changed. The way my photos are set up completely changed my purpose. I broadened my audience and restricted my less in some areas but i also freed myself a bit from other areas.In my original plan i had original planned on having the narrative tell a different story but then as we read more and went to more classes i realized that the narrative told to much of the story instead of the pictures. My whole theme is to get people to see that lifting is actually pretty simple. My photo essay is not meant to be an allegory for anything else. It is just as simple as lifting
