Misleading the public

It seems that the most of the time the misleading that is done by what is considered a major media outlet is what gets the most attention. While sitting and looking at the opportunities that were presented by the NY times when comparing the SARS outbreak to other deadly diseases it seems that it is meager in comparison. It is said that a picture can speak a thousand words. With the way this picture is set up and how our mind has been classically trained the larger something is the more important it should be to us. Yet when examining the information provided there is no such correlation. Each bit of information is not similar comparing how many are infected total to new infections over the past 2-3 months. This is not a statistical comparison instead it’s random facts of information presented in a misleading way. Malaria and Tuberculosis are the two main that draw your eyes to the page. Because of the emphasis put on them through color and size, and the fact that both have a greater bold placed on them. Yet there is no reason for that nor the text box size placed around them. The data could have better been viewed as a graph or at least similar references so that people can understand the reasoning behind the emphasis placed on some of the items but not all.

I feel like this kinetic typography from Lord of War done by servius76 is a better representation of Typography than the NYtimes.

Two Scientist were racing for all of man kind

It's hard to get credit for all the crazy work that is done, a race is made between you and others for the same prize. The work isn't done as a singlarity together and for the betterment of both, but instead is a race, a war between two to make the same things happen. The photo shows that where a single scientist has created an invention that involves the family to get the wife sewing even though the implied "end" taken as how the viewer can is slowly coming behind the family as they race for the finish

selling a flashdrive

Trying to market a flash drive seems at this day an age pointless, as we have seen in class, everyone has used one by now. When we first got them 5-6 years ago the we were impressed by those who had 256 kb, now were looking at the same size that had somewhere near 16-32 MB, so much more data since it would have taken 4 of our old ones to just reach the size capacity of 1 MB on our new ones. Now for marketing these to specific target groups.

To the incoming freshman.

Several classrooms have computers in them, and when having a flash drive means that you don’t have to carry your whole computer with you instead you carry a few ounces to make it class. Also everything is backed up incase of a hard rive failure.

To the Computer Science major

Why do you need to carry that heavy laptop when for a single project. Also the availability to have a flash drive that can be passed around your groups. A 1 gb flash drive is just big enough for your group, and you don't have to worry about did that email go through, it physically there.

The newspaper

With a new 1 gb hardrive you can have 114 minutes of your favorite music stored and ready to share. An hour of your favorite family videos only a small bit away. With haveing that much storage it is basically all you need and can keep your favorite keep sakes, all for a cheaps price that keeps your memories right there with you on your key chain
