My Post Secret Postcard
My audience for my Post Secret Postcard is anyone, male or female, who has to endure public speaking in their daily lives. Whether they feel the same way I do about public speaking, they still may be able to relate or maybe have another fear the goes along with public speaking. My design features in my postcard, is I made the whole postcard different shades of red to show the different shades of red that I get when I have to public speak. On the top of the postcard, I wrote text explaining what my secret. I wrote the last word of secret at the bottom right of the postcard to show people that I also have trouble studdering or finishing sentences when I have to public speak.

Peer Review: Paper 3
This peer review was very helpful because I was unsure if my paper was heading in the right direction.
After my partner read over it and gave me a few pointers and ideas to think about, I know I will be able to succeed the paper length requirement because of the additional information I will add. She told me to watch out for grammar, and the make sure I am confident in my writing or it will not be convincing. I am going to try to expand my information and make my facts specific and not so broad. Now that I have my research, I have a clear image of my spoof ad that correlates with the research correctly. The peer review we worked on today has worked best for me because it allows me to know what more to add to my paper and helps benefit my paper as a whole, rather than specific paragraphs in the paper.

Spoof Ad: McCruelty
This ad is clearly a spoof ad of how McDonald's prepares their food. You see the head of a dead cow that is covered in blood, which is red and one of McDonald's primary colors, and then on the right the colors are yellow, red, and black which also helps you recognize this is about McDonald's. This spoof ad is supposed to make you realize what really goes on behind the production of McDonald's Big Macs and the cruelty the poor animal goes through. The text is asking "Do you want fries with that?" and being paired with that picture of course you wouldn't want to eat fries with a head of a dead carcass. However, if this were a true McDonald's advertisement, there would be a juicy Big Mac with the same text, and yes, many would want fries with that. This ad wants people to realize that McDonald's is basically "cruelty to go." They are not concerned for people's health or the well being of animals, they just make intriguing advertisements to get customers money. If McDonald's ads truly looked like this, they would go out of business because it is unappealing, upsetting and unappetizing. This spoof ad's audience is mainly for vegetarians because of the text shown at the bottom.

In this advertisement for DKNY Jeans, there is a large image takes up two pages in the magazine. On the left side of this advertisement, there is a beautiful women being held by another gorgeous man walking our of a New York taxi. They are both wearing DKNY jeans along with other fashionable items of clothing. The couple seems as though they are dating and have a fabulous life. This advertisement gives you the feeling that if you are wearing DKNY jeans, than maybe you can look as fabulous as this models and find a man as well. The type of lifestyle this ad is promoting to would be young women or men in the 20's who are always on the go in a busy city and need clothes that could make them look nice while being casual. The ad portrays that even though these are casual jeans, they are easy to dress up or down for working women or men who are always in a hurry. Using a setting in New York City while having the models walking out of a taxi is what led me to believe that this is for young working men and women because NYC is known as a busy, working city for men and women around their 20's. Also there is text at the bottom of the ad telling me that this ad is promoting DKNY jeans and it takes place at Church & Leonard St. New York City.

Today is the day my career is officially beginning. Without your help teaching me the ropes behind law and providing me with this great internship, I would not be where I am today. Along with informing you about my incredible acceptance into Harvard Law school, I would also like to thank you for all you have done for me. Through your wise ways, I have learned so much about what it takes to be a lawyer and you helped reassure that this is the right career path for me. Even though you were my boss of an unpaid internship, you cared about me striving to be who I wanted to be. As you know, Harvard Law School was my first choice and I was very worried about not getting accepted. I have worked incredibly hard studying for LSAT and working while being a part-time student, and you were very understanding of me not always being able to attend my internship. Although my home life isn't so stable with divorced parents who care more about themselves than their own daughter's career, you pose as a father figure in my life because you always supported me and cared about my dreams and aspirations. You were the first person I thought of when I opened my acceptance letter to Harvard because I knew you would be just as excited and proud as I was. I am going to move into Boston in the fall and until then I am still gladly going to continue working for you and your company. Without your company, I would probably not be going to grad school and may or may not have a job after college. So once again, thank you for all that you have done for me and I hope to keep in touch while I am in Boston to tell you all that I have learned in Law school.

Peer Review Reflection
While writing paper 2, I am feeling pretty confident about a few different things. I believe that choosing to analyze a magazine was a good decision because it is easy to provide good examples. Along with the many examples I have provided, I have given good analysis to back them up. It is also a lot easier to be looking through the magazine and just write down how the text and visuals make me feel. I am going to add a longer introduction in the beginning of my paper and include a couple more paragraphs at then end showing how the text and visuals work together. I will not change the examples I provided because I feel they do a good job of supporting my arguments.
