I want this paper to clearly show the relationship that the images on a book cover might have with the text. I want my thoughts to be clearly represented though out the entire paper, so that the reader has a perfect understanding of my thoughts

Journal 5

I want my paper to say exactly what I my intentions are for it to say. I guess what I'm trying to say is that I want every idea, every concept, every phrase to be completely clear and unambiguous. I want the reader to understand my paper fully, without any confusion.

music and art

In my paper I would like to show how closely music and art can be related. In my case, I want to show how The Beatles expressed themselves through their album art as well as their music. In my paper, i will show how the use of color and detail can work together to set a mood. I will state the fact that the use of blur and fine detail can show how slowly or quickly time has passed. Also, I will show how easily mood can be shown through visual texts, such as album art. I will strive to show how the overall mood that the Beatles felt thoughout the 3 stages of their career related to their album art.

In my paper, I would really like to create an example of how one company can produce and control so many different types of advertising. I want to show the differences between the different types of their campaign to promote their product. I want the picture to show what I am trying to portray as an example to my essay. There are many pictures that i can put in but I will try to choose the best one. I would like my essay to be interesting for people to read and not feel like it is dragging on and on. I have to look up MLA but I am defineitly going to follow that too. I know my essay will continue to get better the more I work on it.

In my paper I want to show how visual images help enhance things such as magazines, newspapers, and books. Also, how the color and type of picture can make a difference. Another thing I want to talk about is how authors use different kind of pictures to appeal to certain age groups, and how the kind of pictures are appropriate for the articles. I will use an image in my paper to display how the color of a picture can set the tone for an article. I will use several examples to prove how pictures are used and help appeal to people, and why they wouldn't be interesting without pictures.

Emotional Visuals

Although my ideas on my paper are still all over the place and not very organized, I plan on writing about the connection between visuals and they're connection to history. What I want to do is show how visuals create emotions and a personal connection while the text is there to provide facts and whatnot. They are both dependent on each other to create a understandable account of what had happened so that audiences can relate to their nations history. I really think it is an important element because history is necessary for each person to truly understand. My main example is how pictures from past devastating events allow people to really put themselves in that situation and feel what the people in the event may feel. Also, i use textbooks as an example and how more recent events usually have more photos because it makes it easier for the reader to connect rather than using paragraphs of words to try to convey the emotion of the event.

My goal in this paper is to show how visuals are a crucial component in magazines, newspapers, comics, etc. I’m writing how different attributes such as color or tone can change the message of a picture. I want to show how visual/text interaction can be used in advertising and how affective a picture in general can be to viewers. I also want to show that text can create visuals, for instance in books, and can how detail can make that mental image. I want to give examples for both magazines and books. I want to write how visuals make a difference in relation to text, and vice versa.

Mission statement-I want my paper to show and inform readers why i believe Lil Wayne is a cultural icon. I am writng about his song lyrics and how they pertain to him as a person and then him as a icon in the public's view. Also, I am wrting about how he uses his body as a canvas to portray his feelings and emotions. He is covered with tattoos on his body, many about his past and people he cares alot about. Also, how he reaches teens and other listeners that follow your dreams no matter what someone tells you, and if someone wants to change who you are or what you do, you do not have to listen to them rather do your thing if it is working for you. I also wrote on how he uses drugs, and says it should be legalized for certain drug use, because it is sometimes beneficial to those who uses it for the purposes they use it for.

In his book Writing Tools, Roy Peter Clark writes: "Writing down your mission turns your vague hopes into language. By writing about your writing, you learn what you need to learn" (196). For this journal, create a mission statement for your own current writing project, Paper Two. Cover both the content and the form of your paper, sketch out for yourself what you want to say and how you want to say it. Even though you've already got a draft out, use this mission statement to make sure you're doing what you want to, and refer to it as you continue writing (you may want to revise your mission statement as you go as well).

Here's an example:
- I want to examine the relationship between the cover photo on this month's Cosmo and the headlines that appear on the cover.
- I want to show the reader how the meaning of the cover is fundamentally changed by the visual/text interaction.
- I want to question the difference between the headlines and the implications of the photo- there seems to be a conflicting message. Are women being objectified or empowered?
- I want to make sure to include several examples from the magazine.
- I want to offer an insightful analysis that goes beyond observation.
- I will include an image of the cover.
- I will follow MLA guidelines.
