Hi Blair!
ReplyDeleteI think your outline is very clean and easy to read. I noticed however one of the boxes tfor your reference list had on one side that was blank, so make sure you have something to talk about for that topic! I am not sure how into details on the schemes, tropes, and visual you are going to go but you might want to ad a little bit more so your speech is longer! Just a thought I think your conclusion will add a good argument. I would definetly look in the zombie book for something to add in!

ReplyDeleteYou analyzed the ad well in your chart, however I think there needs to be some work on your thesis. I'm not sure if the ad actually is all over the place or if we just lack a clearer understanding of it because we aren't used to the structure and appeal of ads in the 1940s. Was there concern about coffee losing it's flavor when boiled (did people think flavor evaporated)? Was there concern about the flavor shelf life of coffee beans? Researching this may help you look at the ad in a way consumers from the 1940s would. I would focus on the fact that the ad is telling us 'people all over the world drink Nescafe more than all other instant coffee's combined'. The box on the right side of the ad is listing reasons that Nescafe is better than regular coffee. Also the emphasis on this coffee being "fine" may imply that other instant coffees taste grainy.
ReplyDeleteVery clean roadmap! I agree with Angela, i think you have a great start for your thesis just be sure to cover all your bases with contradictions, an analysis on the good and the bad, and a bold statement! Also in your body be sure to cover ideologies.
ReplyDeleteThe information is precise, but I did note that the thesis could have a bit more work on it. Disregarding the blank spaces in your chart, the overall data is sufficient.
ReplyDeleteYou have a great starting outline. It’s easy to read and has clear and simple indicators as to what you’d like to remind yourself of. I like that it’s to a minimal just as the Zombie Guide indicated instead of a full on script that creates added pressure while presenting. I would suggest further developing your intro and thesis (this is an outline though, so I totally understand that your final product will be way more amazing). I also agree with Angelina. Perhaps reevaluate the construction of the ad with a new perspective in mind. The 1940’s were very different times, and advertisers favored different advertising techniques because of the time period. Nescafé is still selling products today, so clearly something about these outdated ads work during their time of publication. Overall though, you have a great start! Good luck! (Devin Castillo)
ReplyDeleteI think this is a great outline- its not too long or short and is very clear, serving as a great guide to your speech. I liked the structure of your chart as well and am looking forward to hearing the speech
