Dear Class,
I'm still running into problems with some of the documents I want to post for you. While I try to figure out a solution, I'm just going to give you a brief rundown of the information you need for this weekend:
Homework to do for Tuesday:
1) Read UC, Ch. 4-5
2) 1 page mini-essay: typed, double-spaced. Choose 4-5 "signs" to analyze. (I'm using the term very loosely; you can choose soup can labels, storefront signs, company logos, signs around campus, etc. Just be sure that all your signs belong in the same category--i.e. don't choose 2 soup labels and 3 signs around campus). Using concepts from Ch. 1-4 of UC and the Berger article, analyze how the signs communicate with the viewer. How do they work? Since this is only a 1-page assignment, you have the option of mentioning all your signs in your Introduction, but only doing a close analysis of one of them in your body section. You do not need a Conclusion. Be sure to print copies of these signs and attach them to your essay when you turn it in.
*That's it for Tuesday. If I work out the electronic document issues, I will post the items for you to download soon, but do not worry about them for now.
