Blog 4 - Ethical Analysis: Creepshots and Doxing
(I think this might have gone a bit long...)
Reddit is a social networking platform divided into “subredits” where individual posts receive “upvotes” and “downvotes” and the most highly voted posts are featured on the main front page of Reddit itself. It’s a huge online community of only a handful paid staff and volunteer moderators that keep the flow of content constant and legal, if not always ethical. Like any community, there are complexities of power relations that sometimes push ethics to the wayside. Perhaps the most egregious example of this is a subreddit known as “creepshots” in which photos of underage girls were posted for the enjoyment of men, without the knowledge or consent of the underage girls in question. This created an ethical outcry which popularized the subreddit, in turn bringing traffic to Reddit as a whole and causing its creator, an active volunteer moderator, to create additional and increasingly controversial subreddits, all in the name of “trolling”. Recently, reddit has been forced to change their policies and discontinue these controversial at best and dangerous at worst subreddits. However, the ethical issue at hand is in what happened afterwards. A man at a news site wrote a report which published not only the real name of this moderator, but details of where he lived and his family’s internet handles. The controversy that rages now is less about the original content that has since been banned, but if the journalist was wrong to expose the man behind the moderator.
 As an intersectional feminist and decent human being, I have some strong opinions about the content of not only his initial subreddit but the troll subreddits that he created for traffic subsequently. I find the fact that his actions were not illegal personally appalling, as condoning behaviors like harassment, sexism, and later, mockingly, racism and domestic violence, is where I draw the line at values of free speech. The basic tenant of a spirituality that influences mine is “an it harm none, do as ye will.” And I believe this man was doing harm by creating this content. Regardless of his intent, his content was deeply harmful and a symptom of some of the worst ills of our society. That said, the question here is not about the actions of the subreddit moderator, but of the journalist that exposed him, and the morality of that action. While I have enough anger at society as a whole for condoning this sort of thing that having a scapegoat feels amazing and I am willing to say that this man has brought any ill resulting from this on himself… I have to question that. Because like it or not, I do not believe in mob justice. Even criminals are held in jail for their own protection as much as to protect others from them. People are angry at a community that allowed horrible things to be said and done within it, and a journalist gave us a villain. More then that, he gave the villain’s private information, which could put a, like it or not, human being, in physical jeopardy. Men like this moderator are not the problem, and attacking him only gives the real problem, the mass of societal construction justifying his actions, a martyr; and nothing scares me more then the bad guys having a martyr.Â
Blog 1 - Typeface Analysis: "Woeful w"
The “w” of the student created “perfect font” project is an interesting letter. The aperture between the sides and the center terminals suggest a letter that falls significantly bellow the x-height of similar fonts, such as Lucida Handwriting. The center terminal falls significantly lower then the far two, similarly to the font Pigtail Lean. Also similar to Pigtail Lean are the curves resting at the baseline rather then the points similar to the other fonts. Perhaps the biggest difference between our perfect font w and that from Pigtail Lean is that, while pigtail lean features loops at it’s outside terminals, this w features extended strokes that each end in an inward-pointing serif. The most similar font to this style seems to be Karolla, in which the extended terminals seem to encourage the creation of ligatures should the letter be placed into words of a similar typeface.Â
This is the storyboard for my group’s advertising pitch for KEEN running shoes. The other members are Robin Day and Yali Li.
Our target audience is people getting started towards a fitness goal, and those taking things to the next level (see empathy map). The persuasive message is that KEEN shoes will help to facilitate your goals, whatever they are, and wherever you are in your health and desires for fitness: newly active, those running for recreation, and those in formal training, The idea is that KEEN shoes help get people going to become more active, and also help the more active person progress towards greater fitness goals. We have come up with a print ad for a magazine (to come), a storyboard for a commercial (pictured above/ includes captions), and a web layout (to come).
We have looked for the right professional to bring this campaign to life and believe that director Fredrik Bond could do just that. Bond is a director who has experience doing commercials for Puma, Levi’s, and other brands. Bond does great cinematography and conveys a lot of feeling through motion and imagery, which is what this campaign requires to make a lasting impression on our audience. His contact information is located on the Directors Guild of America website (http://www.dga.org/The-Guild/Members/Profile.aspx?mid=ksJPy0WC8Zw%3d) and is:

Other talent includes Web Designer mline (http://www.mline.cc/), which has a does a great web design.Â
A good print designer for this project is jkdesigner (http://www.jkdesigner.net/print.html).  Some of these prints manage to be text-heavy, like Yail’s idea, without losing attention. I think they’d be a great group to work with her ideas.Â

I can't remember the name of my partner from lecture...just that he showed up at SOU intending to take a major that doesn't exist anymore! So he's a computer science major now who's looking at EMDA. (come join us! we have cookies! <says the VP major, lol) This is him photographed from the third floor of Hannon Library while standing in the center of the mosaic, which is a shot I've been wanting to do for literally years, with some blue turned up and contrast taken down.Â
What's this?
