Final Project Preview

For our final project, my group and I have decided to choose and design three visual arguments of our candidate's image after the election. I don't want to give too much away, but we will probably design a billboard ad for a reality show. We might also do an Vietnam veteran themed T-shirt. We still have a lot of decisions to make regarding this final project. We will, however, some rather clever and humorous visual arguments.

Presentation Day

For our group presentation, we chose to perform a satrical concession speech for John McCain. We felt that with McCain we would be able to include more elements of humor than with Obama; we also wanted to create something that we would enjoy and our audience would enjoy. Our speech will include a lot of old man stereotypes, and it will be an especially grumpy old man at that. Our McCain will be extremely upset and slightly vulgar with the outcome of the election. We wanted to do the opposite of what McCain did for his actual concession speech. We didn't want a kindly, humble, let-down grandfather figure. We wanted a scary, rude, hard of hearing old jerk, with some humor to spice things up.
