Trajectory

trajectory can be anything from posters, flyers, banners, to window paint, spray paint, sidewalk chalk, or bras hanging from a tree. They are all trying to convey a message to a certain audience, they either wnat you to do something, think something, or maybe believe something. My favorite of the ones we saw today were the lemons hanging from the tree. It was something so different that almost every student on the quad would stop and read what the message on the lemon said, and whether or not they would go through with what the message was saying, the person who was trying to get their idea across definitely got it across to the majority of people who walked through the quad. I think I am going to revamp a flyer for a room mate. Even though its a smaller audience because not many people are looking for flyers about open rooms it would still be a good idea to have a flyer that would stand out from other people who are trying to find a room mate so you could have more people to choose from, meaning a better room mate for you.

  1. I'm really happy about you revamping something for your roommate! That not only has long term trajectory in getting a roommate, but short term trajectory in that you're helping someone you're closely connected to. I think this is a great idea, and a very nice one too. I'm sure your roommate will appreciate it! Also, everyone seems to love the lemon example. It is indeed an excellent example of visual rhetoric that apparently is effective too! ;)
