Assignment 1: Discussion There are two parts to this assignment:Please answer the following and place in Message board (do not attach files) First Part: Topic Proposal Complete the following:Module 4
First Part: Topic Proposal
1. The general topic I will focus on in my visual argument is Kinesiology. The specific focus will be on what the major is and what you can-do with-it career-wise. The purpose will be to educate the audience about the major.
2. I will be using a pamphlet for my visual argument. I will be using sport and non-graphic human-body pictures to grab onto the audience that is into sports and fitness. Wanting to continue in the sports world without playing, I knew this major was perfect because of how much involvement sports and fitness are in this major.
3. The probable audience that I will target is high school students or any students that are interested in health and fitness. I will make the pamphlet easy to read with lots of pictures, that way the students will not feel overwhelmed.
4. I want my audience to be comfortable with knowing what the major is about and what the requirements are for it before they pick it. I want them to know that a career in sports and fitness is still an option, even when playing on the field is no longer an option.
5. I do not believe there will be any objections to picking the major or not. I think the only alternative is that the audience would pick a major similar to Kinesiology, like Athletic Training or Foods and Nutrition because that is more appealing to them.
6. I will identify sources from the SDSU website because that is where I will get the basic curriculum from. This is very important because if the classes do not sound appealing to the audience then they will most likely not read the rest of the pamphlet. I will also pull certain statistics from suitable websites to enhance my ethos.
7. My style and tone of writing will be informational and conversational. I want my audience to know exactly what the major entails, so they know exactly what they would be getting into. I don't want to leave anything major out, for the purpose of not having any unexpected surprises when taking the major. I also want my audience to know how great of a major Kinesiology is and the benefits from it.
Second Part: Design Parameters
1.
2. The changes I intend to make are to add more pictures of sports, fitness, and non-graphic human body parts, with fewer pictures about the school. I will get rid of the professors part and replace it with more career possibilities in each emphasis of the major. I will also add a curriculum part to inform the audience of what kind of classes will be required.
