[Media Studies & Communication: Week 11, 4th Period]

[behindeyesonly.livejournal.com]

When everyone had filed in, Logan was putting out art supplies and copies of the poster books they'd had last week on everyone desks.

"Hey, guys," he greeted them, moving to sit at his desk again. "Today's a fun exercise, I hope."

Logan gestured to the supplies. "Last week we talked about propaganda and how it works as a tool for influencing opinions with biased information.

"Today, you get to put that to work. Choose the topic, your audience, how you want to skew your information, and then create a poster designed to convey that. If you need any suggestions, take a look at some of the techniques listed on the handout from last week."

[ooc: If you choose to participate, feel free just to describe your poster, draw something in the artpad, or find a picture on the web to work with. Please wait for the comments to proceed have fun making your posters!]

Talk in Class

Chatter chatter chatter.

Dean looked over the handout and doodled a little, trying to come up with an idea.

Jaye might be muttering something that sounds like "Shhh. Shut up." at her purse. Unfortunately, her purse is on the floor by her feet, so it might appear that she's moved on from purse-talking to self-talking.

Finally she sighs and turns to Dean. "So, cooking?"

Re: Talk in Class

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

Dean looked up from his doodling. "Huh?"

Re: Talk in Class

[fates_jaye]

"Thanksgiving cooking help me and oh yeah, hi," she says, waving off that last part.

Re: Talk in Class

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Oh. Right. Sure, I can give you a hand. Especially if it means less chance of Thanksgiving dinner being takout pizza."

Re: Talk in Class

[fates_jaye]

"Cool. And what does everyone have against pizza? she asks. "It's not like I'm talking about the frozen kind."

Re: Talk in Class

[saltandammo.livejournal.com]

"Pizza's great," Dean told her. "Just not for Thanksgiving. There's the whole implied 'slave over a hot stove' that needs to be there for a real Thanksgiving dinner."

D took her supplies and, er, created art. Really. Those weren't pointless loops and line, honest. *cough*

Sam knew she wasn't at all artistically inclined. She also didn't know what she wanted to say yet, and was pretty much ripping out pages that looked interesting.

Mac isn't really that artistically inclined, well, not with paper and pens anyway. So, she's pulled out her laptop and is busy designing her poster in photoshop instead.

Kawalsky's poster ended up being entirely red with big letters that said "GUNS ARE KEEN."

He's the subtle type.

Present your poster!

[behindeyesonly.livejournal.com]

"This is YOUR WAR."

"Loose lips sink ships."

"Gee, I wish I were a man! I'd join the Navy!"

Calls to arms or calls to caution and vigilance are just two kinds. What's your poster about?

Re: Present your poster!

After several false starts, Ray finished his poster.

He went up to the front of the classroom and displayed a poster with this (http://img216.imageshack.us/my.php?image=yellowsnowcw6.jpg) graphic and text on it.

"Just say no...to yellow snow. It'll be really, really bad if you eat the yellow snow. Trust me and my poster on this one."

Talk to Logan

[behindeyesonly.livejournal.com]

He's there and drinking coffee like it's going out of style.

"I'm sorry for missing class last week," said Elizabeth, handing across a note. "I unfortunately managed to come down with the flu."
