My project statement



Project Statement

Background
The Collegian, is the editorially independent Newspaper of the University of Richmond that features news, sports, opinions of others and multimedia. The Newspapers core purpose is to enhance societies knowledge about events, keep creative juices flowing and keep people invovled by creating an opinion page, talking about upcoming events and news, along with the multimedia  which in itself can bring along entertainment.


Target Audience
Members of Richmonds' community, the Students, and other colleges from around the state -  small/big it doesn't matter they just want to keep things interesting and have things to talk about that keep people coming back., anyone that is  interested in what richmond's offers or what they are up to or just what they might have to offer as far as opinions go are more than welcome. The article however that I am reading refers to young to middle age women that have some curves and might want to show them off.

Objectives

This article was brought to my attention because I read another article from a women's study class that referenced it, and brought up a great debate. the article has its points but it doesn't elaborate and it isn't educationaly stimulating but does bring up some points of good discussion, so I felt that it would be something that I would like to illustrate for because the topic is so interesting (what women ware and wether of not they should be judged by that), Some people might read this short article and drop it down and forget about it because it is an opinion of someone that went on a rant with not a lot to back it up. So my objective is to draw a picture that make the reader say, " what! wow, this is an interesting out there some what provocative picture I wonder what it's about". After they are done reading the short article and deciding that it wasn't necessarily worth reading but the picture stays in there head enough that it might strike up an interesting conversation later.

Obstacles

Because this article is short and is very narrow minded, it brings up a lot of contraversies and objectives. The writer challenge is to say if women ware cloths they will be more respective but in his argument speaks to a world that no longer exist. There are few men that cherish a chaste woman over a presentable one or a virgin before a diva but honestly if you are referring to any girl in a professional environment which I am sure he is referring to you won't find a whole lot of virgins over 22. This article targets women of all ages so the object of getting girls to read it without throwing out a picture of a women being objectified is going to be hard to represent. I thought it could be a picture of a women that the author looked up to like his mother in provocative clothing but to anyone else that women is just a women and they would miss the significance. This would be my obsticle.

Key Benefit


A good conversational starter among friends.

Tone
The illustration should be emotional and maybe after reading the article thought provoking. I also want the initial glance at the picture to maybe bring across anger, a disgusted feeling, or a feeling of being uncomfortable.

Media This project is for an online newspaper.

Creative Considerations 

I think my article might be black and white and only show parts of a lades body that way it can refer to any women in the world, along with the men.

Computer Drawing assignment 1


Article 1  This was my first editorial I choose to do about  A Letter to Women,” published in The Collegian. The author was Brendan Rhatican, in the letter he discusses the relationship between the amount of clothing women wear in correspondence to level of respect they get from their male counterparts. He asked that women wear more modest clothing so that they would be more respected by men and develop deeper and more meaningful relationships. Everything discussed in the letter has many different points but they all come down to the way women act and dress.

Article 2 Is about selling obesity at school. It talks about the wide range of unhealthy food sold in vending machines, football games, snack bars, and a la carte food lines they give some healthy alternatives on things that could be changed and talked about how some schools have implemented to get away from it. It also tells some things you can fix to help these kids get more nutritional benefit from the food they eat.

Article 3 This is an editorial on organic farming it talks about what organic farming is and it also talks about the pros and cons of doing it. It lightly informs you about the current method of farming and with the chemicals, pesticides, and gmos but primarily sticks to the option of what it is and how it is different.

first day

This is my first day of class in Computer Drawing, and so far it has been a very productive day. I not only started my first blog, that I have created on blogger (tumbler being the other option), but I also learned of several new ways to back up my files and art designs. One way of backing it up is drop box and the other is time machine, time machine is very useful but only applies to mac users.
