Design plan

Medium:

For my photo essay I will be using an arrangement of photos. I plan on using photos that can convey my message appropriately. In order to show my photos to my audience I will be using a program called power point. This program is fairly simple to use, however if used correctly you can make professional presentations on it. In order to use my medium correctly I will be planning out my steps prior to execution. In order to do this I will review my photos and choose the ones that best fit into my theme.

Strategies:

            Ethos: Although I am not a professional health expert I hope I can convey my message appropriately. I hope to do this by showing confidence in my display. I will do that my using factual information and convincing language. I may use real world examples to further my credibility in what I am saying. I will also try to associate comedy into my presentation to lighten the mood because for some people this can be a very scary area of topic and could potentially steer them away from even considering my opinions.

            Pathos: Health is a very emotional topic for some people because they have tried everything and still cannot achieve their goals. I will be trying to pull on the strings of people’s emotions to agree with my statements and convince them that my way of doing things is the way to achieve their goals.

            Logos: The logical aspect of my photo essay will be very apparent. I will be showing people that these methods are proven through factual information and visual representations. For example if I show someone that instead of eating a bag of chips after school each day, they could eat an apple which would be drastically healthier option and maybe show a graphical or something of that sort to actually prove this statement.

Arrangement:

            I will be arranging my photo essay in a way that the comedic side is scattered through the hard facts. I will be doing this to not only keep my readers attention but to show them that sometimes healthy things can not only be fun but amusing also. I will also be showing the unhealthy pictures in a sort of devilish manner and the healthy pictures in a sort of saving light to subliminally per sway people to be healthy.

Testing:

            For the testing aspect of this presentation I will be showing it to my friends to see if they agree with my ideas or not. They can give their varying opinions on how to improve my project and show me some ways that I could change things through wording or picture choices.

My Purpose Statement

     The Purpose of my photo essay is to describe specific ways the average person can make healthy choices throughout their day. I will provide interesting information about sleep, including how much is necessary and ways to achieve optimal sleep benefits through the use of a nighttime routine, which includes showering as a relaxation technique.  Examples of healthy food choices will be provided, along with balanced breakfast and snack options and healthy food- on- the- go choices.  A visual will be provided representing healthy hydration. I will discuss the health dangers of drinking soda, the need for a substantial amount of water, and how drinking water prevents hunger and poor food choices, as well as aides in digestion. Practical ways to incorporate exercise in our day will be represented with a visual of parking in a parking spot that is away from the entrance, as well as using the stairs whenever possible. Vitamins and supplements are represented with a slide in my photo essay with a brief reminder that most people can get the nutrients they need from eating a balanced diet.

     I will remind the audience of simple ways to live a healthy lifestyle without spending hours at the gym. The pictures that I will provide display examples of the choices I am addressing, as well as real-life implementation of how I conduct my day.  My goal is to inspire an average group of people to apply better choices throughout their day to increase overall health. Living a healthy lifestyle is something that the average person can do without much extra effort.  The slides, along with my narration, seek to provide everyone with a reminder of making our health a routine part of any day.  From sunrise to sunset incorporating healthy choices gives the average person a chance to expand natural health benefits while conducting business as usual.
