VL: research summation

Curtis' new addition to image interrelates with an obvious index of the pastry blender equals flour. The most common use of flour is to make bread. Bread is a staple food that has a historical,social/cultural. Bread is the baking dough of flour and water, dating back to the neolithic era. Socially/culturally, bread has become a staple in a different way among classed societies. For generations white bread was the preferred of the rich while poor ate dark bread, the connotation has reverse in the 21st century, dark, whole wheat bread is preferred among the middle and upper classes as having superior nutritional value, versus the white bread that is associated with the lower class ignorance of nutritions. Relating bread to phrase such as:

"Gives us today our daily bread" meaning necessities and living conditions in general

Beatnik community (were members of a sociocultural movement in the 1950s that subscribed to an anti-materialistic lifestyle) uses "bread" euphemism for money, much like today's hip hop/pop culture

other phrases bread winner, and putting bread on table relate on a class system of the wealthy and less fortunate.

This image gives a off a dark feeling, although it shows itself in somewhat full detail the noise around it as well as the lighting gives off this tone. Allow light into this image gives the object a background, a setting. Other noise such as the dust, smokey, powdery material gives off a mysterious, scary, feeling (YES HALLOWEEN IS FRIDAY.....hmmmm that might sound to cheesy), the torn paper add a second layer of noise. Although it is not clear what these objects are I can assume that it is flour, since this is a pastry blender. I this noise is affecting and assisting the image. I do not no what this noise really is, but can assume, and since the noise is not clear, I left speculating. Curtis image has allowed this object to become apparent as far as what the object is and adding other component associate with it.

VL: Audience

Bakers/Pastry Chefs have relied on classic tools like this one to blend dough for their signature pastries. The pastry blender is equipped with curved wires that quickly incorporate cold pieces of butter into flour and other dry ingredients – the key to a light, flaky texture. Bakers/Pastry Chefs were introduce to this object in their attendance at culinary school. They are interested in the object because it is a utensil they use to make delicious pastries. When using this utensil they tend to reminisce about the time they spent in the kitchen baking with love ones, happy times. This utensil is a tool that has been around for a while and through time this simply, manual tool has not changed, today bakers/pastry chefs might want to see and exhibit of vintage kitchen utensils.

VL: FINAL CRIT

I have created two posters that communicate to a non-collegiate, workforce demographic. My formal approach to the poster consist of photography and photocopy too emulate the passing of time. Poster VOTE! rhetorical trope is a metaphor, relating that voting takes the same amount of time it takes to break for lunch. Poster !VOTE rhetorical trope is a hyperbole, exaggerating the time you will have wait for next vote.

SR /JR Critique

gaining new perspectives and engage in cross-studio interaction OMG.

After meeting with Genia and discussing my two poster I have come to the conclusion that I could incorporate more into them both, as well has Photoshop images and playing with colors. Other things to watch out for legible type.
