Summary: This reading talks about visual aspects of writing and if they engage readers or not. It is hard to engage readers because everyone has different expectations and as someone who is creating these visual texts it would be hard to make everyone engaged. People also have different views of beauty therefore writers can't make everyone happy.
Synthesis: I agree with most of the statements in this reading. We all have different views of beauty and visual text. So, some of us its hard to please because we all have different expectations. The only thing authors can do is hold are attention for a few seconds and hope that we comprehend what they're trying to say.
Questions for Discussion and Journaling:
2: Wysocki uses visual composition, graphic design, and visual communication to engage readers. When Wysocki uses this type of approach to engage readers there is one thing that may hurt this idea and that is content of the visual being displayed. This work of shaping texts visually is to result in objects that stop and hold sight. I would have to agree with that statement because this is exactly what I do, but I usually don't comprehend the text. I would have to say Wysocki uses low-visual text because the writing really doesn't pop out at you it just makes you think about it.
Applying and Exploring:
2: All of us have our own definition of beauty and its really our decision of what we think it is. So, I think each person thinks beauty is in the eye of the beholder, its just that we might not share a collective meaning of what beauty is. I believe Wysocki's statement more because our definition of beauty is something we all have different views on but its formed by social media. Social media is becoming more and more common these days.
Meta Moment:
That statement applies to Wysocki's writing because the article is about creating something for the reader eyes, nothing that really is permanent just something that can engage the reader. We as readers have certain expectations, but sometimes they are not always met because we all have different expectations because we all see things from different view points. The type of art that Wysocki has can be similar to magazines because they have visual that tries to catch the reader for a moment, but the reader might not be able to comprehend the writing.
