Ethos, Pathos, Logos FTW!
I will talk a bit about how my website will make people feel, I will explain some of the elements that I chose to make my website my own style. Here below is a sample of my website.
SECTION A: As a writer!
I will attempt to integrate the ethos, pathos, and logos in order to give my website more spark so that it can attract the attention of the audience. by adding ethos, I will attempt to add credibility to some of the material that I talk about in class, I will mostly have many experiences about various assignments; so it is important to keep some of the details for the website the most professional as possible. By adding pathos, this characteristic will make the viewer experience a specific kind of emotion according to the elements used in the website. For example my website has many dark colors and abstract effects, this will make the viewer experience seriousness and shock, that is what I meant to do in my website. As for the logos, I intend in making the audience acquire common sense, it is not a good idea to keep the viewers wandering; so I might as well explain the content in as simple manner. the logic here does not expose the material to the point where the viewers could know what to expect next, I can use elements of surprise and keep the audience comprehending the details about each section of my website.
SECTION B: As a designer!
Simple things such as the elements of creating a website such as contrast, consistency, balance, grouping, and alignment; can make or break a website from simply make the viewers disengage and click on another website. To avoid this I will place my best efforts to adjust the characteristics of my website to fit these 5 principles in order to make my site more appealing, I will keep my text; but I will adjust the text on certain sections to give compliments to the sections of the webpage according to important information and other sub-categories. using the same style for headings throughout the website is preferable since only one theme should be used for a website in order to be unique, my website sticks to a theme; that is why some of the fonts included for most of the sections can be slightly different, but the same style. Any images or multimedia used on my website will be properly balanced to the point where the images are reasonably distant from each other, but also to the point were the audience can see a pattern to select from the various videos or images included in the site. I will group my content according to the relevance of what the viewer needs to search for, there will be sub-categories and different sections where information can be found based on each particular topic. my alignment for my website will work best with a vertical layout, since there is more detailed content rather than interactive multimedia website with a horizontal layout. the way I plan to incorporate ethos, pathos, and logos here will be the same as the first section, the only thing different will be the strategies for adjusting material in an artistic manner through out the website.
This was a great tumblr post, I used it as a basis for my post as well as my website. We are using different websites but we have the same theme so to say as it take a minimalist approach. Less is better in a way that will make it look more professional.
