Introduction Start
In this
essay, I will discuss how subcultures affect influential graphic designers, and
state the effect of this on them and their work. I will explore the origin of
graffiti as well as looking into hip hops effect on art and how it has changed
throughout time. In response to this, I will research graffiti and hip hop and
compare this to the work of influential graphic designers.
I had to
write a draft of an essay introduction. I started off with this above and I am
pleased with what I have said. I would like to change the opener of the essay because
I feel that the opener has to be the strongest sentence, to grab the reader’s
attention.
The first
part of the seminar was to write down some hard facts about a short clip. The clip
was from the film Casablanca (1942) which I had never seen before. The facts I wrote
dwon from seeing this were:
- 1935 he ran guns to Ethiopia
- 1936 he fought in Spain – and got paid well
- Orders to keep Lazro here
What the
dialogue revealed was: Not
too fast, not dragging, full of content, developing characters, developing
relationships between those characters, creates intrigue to watch more.
Next task was to
read between the lines and explain what is implied during this conversation. I
wrote down:
- There is no exit visa for Lazro – the gut saying this didn’t say it like an option he was determined to keep Lazro here.
- The winning side would of paid you better – when he was saying this he raised his eyebrows, like he was saying that he was on the wrong team.
Task – Editor
The task was to
take someone else’s work and write some good points and some improvements for
their work. The feedback that I got for my work was:
- Very concise
- Usage of fact
- Read well
- Very clearly outlines the question
- Rewrite the first sentence(not to use – In this essay, I will)
So the next task
was to rewrite what we had written. I was quite happy with what I had written
but I knew that I needed to change the opener. So I decided to come up with:
The discussion of
subcultures effect on influential graphics designers will be state by the
effect on them and their work.
I am happy with
this opener and I will consider using this for when I decide to start writing
my essay up as a draft.
This seminar has
helped me a lot with opening a sentence and about look at dialogue and seeing
what the dialogue means.
