rhetorical devices and websites

http://www.bio-bak.nl/

This website truly stands out to me because of the animation used in it, as well as the dynamic text and the interactivity. I would love to make something inspired by this, because I love the movement around the whole site. It also has a lot of humor in it, and I find that very effective to present a point. The way you navigate through the site is very entertaining, and it engages the viewer.



With this site, I like the interactivity of it, as well as the artistic direction behind it. The use of the simple animation of her character is witty and fun. The whole site is enjoyable because of the use of color and the layout of it.


As for my use of rhetorical devices, I want to use Procatalepsis, by anticipating an objection and answering it, permits an argument to continue moving forward while taking into account points or reasons opposing either the train of thought or its final conclusions. I also want to use Rhetorical questions, and I want to guilt the reader into supporting my views. We as a people are so self concerned with our own situations that I think by making them feel bad, more people will want to support my view.

Proposal

I wish to present something that brings awareness to the fact that people joke about travesties going on in our world today.  People no longer are serious when they say that,"there are starving children in ethiopia that would want that food." etc.  I want to make an interactive presentation that touches on this subject, and bring our fault to light.  

To present my idea, I want to use a lot of type, while using some animation and video.
