The infographic tries to persuade their audience that GMO labeling is necessary and the world should change into a GMO transparency, meaning everything should be GMO labeled. In an infographic, text is used to support visual elements. The power of visuals can be clarified and guided with the addition of words. The title/heading is “Navigating A Sea of Change in GMO Transparency” which is the bit of text that is the overview before looking at the details. The title is visually recognizable because the size is bigger and different color so it’s more prominent that the titles of elements within the sections. The title is probably colored blue to attract people’s attention and the company’s logo’s, who produced this infographic, main color is blue. Within the title, “In GMO Transparency” is bolded because they are trying to emphasize the change towards GMO transparency. The …show more content…
In this infographic, the body texts are organized in a chronological order from the beginning of the change to GMO transparency to the end. The illustrations are the general image that go along with the annotations. In some infographics, readers are able to understand the story or explanation through the illustration; however, in this infographic the text is needed to understand the content the infographic is trying to inform. For example, the first body text includes a picture of a customer pushing a shopping cart with an annotation about how consumers want GMO foods to be labeled. If you only had the image, you wouldn't completely understand what the message was. So in this case, the annotation was necessary. Through all the body paragraphs, it’s the order of how GMO labeling is going to be established. The largest image is a boat which (not a pun, but goes along with) represents the title “navigating a sea”. The boat symbolizes navigating through people, companies, and the government to change in GMO
Although books full of words are more efficient in delivering and describing what the author feels, sometimes pictures can give a deep meaning depending on how they are organized. The Veil by Marjane Satrapi’s is a graphic novel that’s organized in a particular way, to deliver a certain message through the pictures. Marjane includes different sizes and frames that serve what she is thinking and feeling. Choosing certain sizes, frames and colours isn’t arbitrary. As each box increases in size, it means that she wants to emphasize the message behind that box, or show her relation to that particular text. Contrast is also one of the main elements that Marjane uses in her graphic novel. For example, on page five, there is a big picture of
Harwood Shaffer, another misinterpreted person, explained that it is possible that unadvantageous data of GMOs is withheld, but he doubted it. Marc Rothenberg and his colleagues, from Cincinnati Children’s Hospital, both of who are misused in the quotes, made a clear statement that they did not imply there may be an environmental “black box” related to GMOs that we did not yet fully understand.
Throughout literature many authors try to give information about the story or characters without explicitly brining attention to it within the story itself. Graphic novels in particular has an advantage in this idea as they can work in specific things into the art to allow the reader to call attention to it themselves instead of giving all the information to them outright. Author Grant Morrison and artist Frank Quitely’s WE3 uses a similar idea to give readers more information and affect the reader’s perception of the main characters early. WE3 is a graphic novel about three animals who are cyborgs used as killing machines for the army, though they escape and become hunted by the army. In WE3, before and after the first chapter of the graphic
During the course of this lab, we explored whether or not certain processed foods contained Genetically Modified Organisms. Genetically modified food is an important subject in the world today. Ever since Flavr Savr came out with their tomatoes grown from genetically modified seeds in 1994 genetically modified foods has become ever more popular amongst distributors of produce (Mestel, 2013). The world’s population has grown by around one billion in the last decade (US Bureau of the Census). At this rate, Genetically Modified Organisms within food products will increase dramatically, but is this for the best? There are many risk factors that have been brought up with genetically modified foods such as potential increase of
Both infographics use colour in a different manner to persuade the audience in interpreting the information in a certain way. In the
The argument that I wish to refute will be, “Monsanto’s Reasons for Fighting GMO Labeling? It Loves You ” this is a persuasive argument that would like to bring in a younger uneducated audience in to believe that GMO labeling is bad. This cartoon was published on the humor section of planetsave.com. This means that this is little more than a brief chuckle at the argument and then disregarding it because it has not backing behind it. The author appears to be against GMO labeling because consumers will try to research what GMO is and use up resources and electricity. This will worsen pollution levels, and cause them to look deeper into the topic.
To describe this image, the accompanying text, and their meanings more effectively you could describe how the image on the poster represents the Social Security program in better detail.
In every paper no matter what type it is, it is important to be creative with the content and make it appealing to the reader. To show some of their stats, they utilize graphs and charts to give a visual, which is a good use of imagery. “The lowest paid major, with barely half the lifetime earnings of engineering majors, is education, followed by the arts and psychology (Owen and Sawhill, 2013, p.215).” Amplification is a helpful tool to increase the worth of a sentence, which is done in the previous sentence. The amplification of that
GMO’s should not have any regulations because it helps keep our food safe and healthy. GMO has kept our food safe from pesticides. “ In the Us, adoption of GM crops resulted in pesticide reduction of 46.4 million pounds” (The Facts About GMO). As you see without GMO, our farmers would have been using pesticides to keep our food “healthy”, which we know is not healthy at all, because it’s chemicals in our food. But GMOs don’t use chemicals, it makes our food healthy without using chemicals. For example, papayas are genetically modified because papayas from Hawaii are infected by these insects, which because this disease . Though this disease is curable, GMO has helped it to be better. What I mean by better, is that they have taken an altered
The battle over whether food with GMOs should be labeled as such or not, continuez in The Battle Over GMOs by Alessandra Potenza illustrates what a GMO is and why they need to be labeled. First of all GMO stands for genetically modified organism, meaning GMOs are organisms that have been genetically modified to include a gene from another species to produce a certain trait. The reason that some people are very upset at the whole GMO thing is because some companies that include GMOs in their products are refusing to label the fact that they use GMOs. Outrage has sparked everywhere over this and people are demanding that companies using GMOs in their products must label them. The companies on the other hand are claiming that they have a right to privacy and are claiming that the FDA, which stands for Food and Drug Administration, have approved the GMO usage in their products.. This reader believes that we the people have a right to know what is in our food and decide if we still want to consume it.
A GMO is an organism whose genetic makeup is changed by humans. A genetically modified organism (GMO) is a plant, animal or microorganism whose genetic code has been altered, subtracted, or added (either from the same species or a different species) in order to give it characteristics that it does not have normally.
I thought your post was thoughtful and insightful, particularly from a parent prospective. I concur with your opinion that the ad campaign by Stop Texts Stop Wrecks. Org (Harris & kunka, p.78), depicting the driver staring at his phone instead of the road ahead, had more of a visual impact on the viewer than the first infographic on page 79 of the Prentice Hall Reference Guide. . The use of an actual photograph transcends across any language barrier and we a viewer can process pictures are easier than words. Furthermore, a viewer is also more likely to recall an image, particularly one that elicits strong emotion or that is thought provoking. In agreement with your assessment, the contrast of colors and position of the verbiage made a stronger
Headings, Titles, Sub-Headings, and Captions are some of the organization features to name a few. One of those features is Labeled Diagram. An example of Labeled Diagram in this article is ‘‘Busy body’’. It is located at the bottom of the second page. I can recognize that this is a Labeled Diagram because the Pallas’s cat photo is the main focus of the text, and parts of the photos have labels, that is a very big feature of a Labeled Diagram. Furthermore, this is different from the rest of the text features because it has a very different color scheme than the rest of the text features. Rather than a green background, it has a light blue background accompanied with bright yellow labels. The Labeled Diagram ‘‘Busy Body’’ showed me every part of the Pallas’s cats body, and label each with a description and the purpose of that body part. This is absolutely necessary for me to understand more about Pallas’s cats, it does help me to understand the article more
GMOs, (genetically modified organisms) have been a topic of interest in the social eyes for years. Since they’ve been created, many people have voiced and written about their opinions on GMOs, and whether they are dangerous or not. Created to expand the genetic diversity of crops and animals, many don’t know whether GMOs are good or bad, and neither do researchers. Though there hasn’t been any evidence claiming whether GMOs are good or bad, it has certainly not stopped the public from creating their own opinions. Since no one knows the truth behind GMO, it has opened a window of opportunities for companies including Monsanto to voice their support of GMO, while other companies like the Non-GMO Project voice their
My main goal throughout the process was to ensure the graphics were not just graphics and that they themselves portrayed the information necessary to the argument. Keeping that in mind, I designed my graphics so that if the wording around them were removed, the main idea on each block would
