Rhetorical Defense
The audience for my promotional piece would have to be towards incoming freshman that have not yet explored the library. I say this because it is very informative and easy to understand. Also, the audience could be someone who likes to think out of the box. This is true because there is an audio tour, which is a very cool aspect of my project. It helps the audience actually visualize the library in its fullest, even though there is not much going on in the library.
The reason I did a audio tour/power point was because it was the easiest way I could show the history, and what the library is all about. I figured if I did only and audio tour it would not be very informative at all. I like how this power point turned out because it holds a lot of information without being too long, or too confusing. I was going to get a couple interviews with librarians, but this fell through with our uncompromising schedules. I wish I would have had an opportunity to interview a librarian because this would have gave the students a supreme description of the opportunities in the library that most don’t find out about until they have been here for a while. I think I did a fairly good job showing all the important information about the library. It is a great place to study and everything else you can think of, and I want everyone to know this.
I chose to make each slide with an animation because this makes the project a lot more interesting instead of feeling like you were taking notes. I used bright colors in my power point because it caters to my audience the best college kids do not want to look at a bunch of black and white. This power point being colorful helps keep my audience interested instead of being bored out of their minds while reading my project. I made it so you had to click on the audio clip, rather than playing the clip automatically when the slide came on, because this makes it so the viewer focuses on the clip rather than just hearing it while they are reading the information. This way they can do one at a time and get the full effect of the audio tour.
I chose The Vernon R. Alden library because I am there all the time. I use the library almost 5 times a week and I wanted everyone else to know what the entire library has to offer. Also, the library had the most information on it so it made the project easy to educate everyone on everything I wanted to mention. The genre of my promotion piece would be an informative/ creative piece. I say this because it has a lot of information, but it has an artistic side to it.
