Week 8 Twitter Reflection

Summary

This week I was able to learn how to create a simple infographic that can easily be portrayed to my audience to express a point. Using Canva combined with data from Predator Defense, I created an infographic using pathos and logos to educate my audience on human-wolf conflicts. The infographic starts with describing the problem and then states an interesting fact about how viral wolf hunting is. The statistics were aimed to shock the readers bringing out sad emotions that make them more interested on the topic. By then offering useful solutions, I used logos and reasoning to convince the audience of how these solutions can limit the amount of conflicts between humans and wolves. Overall, I believe my infographic and multimedia writing in general, is a great way for researchers to visually present data and information to their audience. By providing visuals, I will be able to better engage with my readers and help them understand the severity of my problem and offer solutions to protect wolves.

This is my favorite multimedia post from part 3 because of how graphic the image is. I hoped that this image would use pathos towards the audience due to the graphic level of the image. I can use this in my advocacy project because I want the audience to understand the problem from the human-side too. I want them to put themselves in a position of a farmer and imagine how angry they would be at wolves if they killed expensive cattle. There are two sides to this problem and I aim to emphasize this as well as efficient solutions to satisfy both sides.
