Considering Visual Elements

This post covers the visual elements of my project 3 draft

1) Shapes, Text Boxes, Headings and Lines: The most relevant thing that could be used here is the headings.  Headings are obviously useful at the start of a post, but also can be useful in breaking the text up further on into the document.

2) Image Selection: There is a very important balance that needs to be struck in my situation, less because of the genre and more because of the subject.  I do not want to over saturate my project with pictures that do not effectively contribute to my point, but if my whole project consists of data and tet then it will not be effective use of images and will turn readers away.

3) Image framing/anchoring: There image is typically located at the top of the article that is important to set the tone.  After this, it is important to frame images in relevant locations that does not break up the text in important places.  There is very little imagery that can be used in my instance that will directly add to the argument, so I will be light on them.

4)  Visual organization: It is important to section off my argument in a way that flows naturally, lines and section headings could be useful to transition.  I will take overuse of images into serious consideration, and omit any that make it over saturated.

5) Is the visual tone consistent?  I have to make sure that the visual "tone" is consistent in that it does not stray too much from a serious and realistic standpoint.  I think that going overboard with how dramatic my images are is a mistake that will take away from my credibility.

6) Are the consequences of not taking action clearly expressed?: Yes this is a highly emphasized part of my argument.  This is because this is a main point of contention and I think that this is where people tend to disagree and not believe the threats of AI.

Reading the other blog posts I saw a lot of projects that could be very beneficial to projects including mine.  They seem to be projects that have more political implications than mine, which historically are heavy on imagery. There was a definite lack of specifics though in the posts I read.
