I made it a point to make sure any visuals I used on any assignment were always relevant and wasn’t there to just take up space. To represent my visuals, I’m going to talk about my essay’s pictures.
Up until this year I had never even used images in my work. Then in English 150 it was apparent a picture was to be expected on every paper. With that in mind, Google images were a great help. In English 250 the essays actually pertained to personal events so instead of using Google I used my own camera to take pictures. Each essay has at least one picture that shows the main point of discussion of the essay. Now I had the choice of angle, closeness, and some times even lighting. I preferred this method for this class in particular. Usually I’m expected to regurgitate other’s facts to describe an argument I care little to nothing about. In this class, I was given very broad criteria for assignments. Thus, allowing me to pick subjects I had personal prior knowledge. It felt fitting that since it was my opinion and knowledge, I should also use pictures taken by me as well.
