articles response:free speech

I believe speech should be free as long as it's not completely offensive. In the one article I was reading it discussed obscene photographs and the exhibit was shut down. I'm not exactly sure how I feel about that. I think maybe it should come with a warning on the exhibit but not shut down entirely.

Also, with the statues free speech is important but work in public space shows the values of the society. So, having a racist statue probably is not the best thing to display publicly. In those cases they should be taken down.

I believe in free speech but I think everyone forgets freedom of speech comes with freedom of consequences.  

As in the Trump example, technically he can say anything but what he says can cause people not to resect him.

student example response

I like the student example because the cover both sides of the argument and you can't tell which side they are for. I also like how they used bold font and dramatic pictures in each. I didn't consider using props until I saw the student examples.

poster sketches

Propaganda posters brainstorm

How would these 2 images differ?
They would be on the same issue of the NFL take a knee, but one would focus more on the players and one would focus more on the flag

● How would a Government backed image look in comparison to something grassroots?

a government back image would probably be more professional in language.

● Is there a Logo for either? Say the NRA?

I would use the NFL logo.

● Is there a Face or Phrase that is associated? A Steve Jobs or Trump?

Colin Kaepernick could be associated with this. Also, Trump could be associated because of his reaction.

● What are both of these posters trying to get across?

The two opposite perspectives on the players taking a knee and the right to protest in general.

● What Propaganda techniques will you apply?

Bold text

● What sort of Graphic Styles should you use to best emphasize your point?

I will try to use bold text and bright pictures.

● Are the methods I am using clean and Graphic enough to be communicated to

someone walking by on the street?

Yes?

● These posters will be shown together. How do they relate visually? How do they

contrast? Make sure that you look at them side by side to consider their relationship.

I want the words to be the same for each but the pictures shown give the posters a different meaning.

free speech reflection

After reading this article and doing the project, I realized how important free speech is. By having art out in public it causes people to think about what they are seeing and hopefully think deeper about the art. Also, free speech is important to see other people's perspectives and raise awareness for an issue.
