For our first class, we began with an introduction to the concepts of Ihi Wehi. We also explored the meaning of rhetoric and persuasion. As a group, we got given a set of examples (I got Set B) to identify the Ihi and Wehi component. The exercise was useful as it helped me understand how designers used certain elements/characteristics and visual cues to generate a type of emotion or message.
Thursday:
In studio, we created mind maps that addressed the issues around inequality in New Zealand, which really helped me narrow down my topic.
After gathering possible ideas, I’ve decided to base my topic on child poverty. I've become increasingly interested in how the effects of impoverished environments affect individuals, especially child development. Not only does poverty have an impact on a child during the moment, but their future as well. This is something I'd like to explore in my posters.
At this moment, I’m not sure whether to narrow down my topic even more so that it’s easier for me to generate rhetoric concepts - such as how poverty affects a child's health or education.
