Visual/ Verbal Rhetoric By Bonsiepe

- Divided into 3 parts: political, legal, and religious

- A thought I had while reading this was the impact that artist's have been using Rhetoric's since the begging of art history really. We visually can show who's in power but hierarchy, or take a religious story from the bible and help people to understand the meaning of that excerpt. As Graphic Designer's one of our jobs is to take these tools of Rhetoric and further explore the all the different ways to show them. Different than last year we are now adding another layer onto all of our projects. Last year we explore usually one concept and how to execute that idea in a formal dynamic way. Adding to our bag full of fun design tricks we are now taking two or more ideas and exploring how they can interact. Like in some of the examples shown in class, how to display two conflicting or alike concepts and combined them into one.

"Their object was to obtain a definite decision (on a campaign of war); to implant an opinion/
concerning the prisoner at the bar; or to evoke a mood (in a religious ceremony)"
- one of the main notes I have from the Folly Theater is the impact or mood they would like to select for their audience and that would be an intimate setting or the younger audience. Even though we are exploring concepts that center around our musician, it is important to keep in the back of the mind on who will see these poster's? What concepts does a younger audience go for? How can we make a connection between the heart of the musician and the Folly Theater?
