Ethos. Pathos, Logos FTW!
“How will I execute Ethos, Pathos, and Logos as a producer, creator, writer, and activist?”
We must know what Ethos, Pathos, and Logos mean. So I decided to add the definitions to remind myself throughout this post ( and help others, hopefully.)
SECTION A: As a writer!
1. How will you employ
Ethos?
My homepage will carry the credibility that I am the author for the website. It will be credible because I am a student enrolled in the university of Texas at el Paso taking RWS 1302 class and I can share the experience of taking the class with professor Audrey. I will express situations and feelings I went through first had.
Pathos?
The section that includes Assignment Reflections will carry plenty of logos. This is the section that I will express my achievements, my difficult times and my reliefs throughout the semester when working on all the assignments. I will also be sharing my experiences and thoughts on some of the readings from the required textbooks from this course when I get to the Course Reading Reflection.
Logos?
I will cover logic with the fair use statement, informational graphics and facts. My writing fluency must stay at the same pace and rhythm. It must be well written. Including examples, pictures, facts and an in depth description when needed. Logos will be available in practically everything. For example, my homepage, the tabs I include and the text in these sections.
SECTION B: As a designer!
As a designer overall I should be able to express myself and engage my viewers visually and artistically. I should be able to capture their full attention without overwhelming them at all.
2. How will you employ
Ethos?
I will portray credibility through alignment and grouping. The Website must inform my peers in a professional manner. I believe that using vertical and horizontal elements can sustain a professional look if used adequately. Not too much, just enough. I would like to separate work, for example having a section dedicated to just the assignment reflections. This will cover a grouping aspect in my webpage. For example, diving sections and using correct grammar. Making sure the webpage looks up to date and all my sources are correct as well as the information I use in the sections of my webpage.
Pathos?
I will portray emotions through consistency, Contrast, and balance. My Headings will carry a bigger font size, and the same style of text and my body text will carry a smaller font size but perhaps the same text style. An ongoing feeling throughout the webpage. I would like to keep the same feeling well balanced and equally weighed. If an image expresses a strong feeling and my text from the opposite side lacks emotion that it can definitely throw off my balance, however images and graphics will weigh more than text so I must be precise with this issue. The background color will be a light gray, were I can still add images and text without overwhelming anybody and for the website to remain professional.
Logos?
Like mentioned above the organization of the home page and other sections are very important and they resemble Logos. Being able to navigate the webpage without difficulty is a must for my web page as well as the webpage itself making sense to my peers and I. Perhaps when I explain my work or reflect on my readings I can include quotes, by doing that my viewers will have an easier understanding to what I mean. I will make sure to portray a message and make it well known, my viewer must not go in my webpage looking for stuff, the stuff should be available in an instant. #ChallengeAccepted
