This being just one of the gift shops comes to show that there was quite a variety of hidden treasures in the back of The Little Village. This room caught my eye considering it was probably the most colorful and entertaining to walk around in. Most of these pieces have been hand crafted by local artists, who then bring them in to be sold. This recognition of local talent is amazing and convinces me to support them more than some chain store that sells copies of someone’s original ideas. The fact that the room was painted this turquoise color is interesting. There are no other rooms in The Little Village that have such an extravagant color. Most are while, brown or a light neutral green. Perhaps the objective is to demonstrate diversity and how that is what they are in favor of supporting. Even the floor in the gift shot is nothing that you see everyday. This kind of checkerboard tile is what I have seen in the 50s . It makes me question whether it was purposely put in this way more recently or if it really is an old floor from centuries ago that they decided to keep. It would make sense considering it goes with the vintage theme of the entire village.Tuesday, February 8, 2011

1. First, begin with the photos and critical captions. Which critical captions were most effective in helping you see and understand the space as the writer does and why?
ReplyDeleteHer captions were very descriptive and had a lot of detail to help clarify why you chose this place.
2. Each critical caption should make a claim, support the claim with evidence/details from the text (photo or space), and analyze how the writer sees/understands those details so that the reader is invited to see/understand them in a similar way. How effectively does the writer make clear claims, support them with evidence, and elucidate her/his analysis? Does he analysis offer new knowledge, i.e. make an interesting claim supported with evidence? Explain.
You hardly had any analysis.. Try to explain everything you described anaylze why the things are the way they are, Find meaning to the things.
a. Note 1-2 places in the blog where the writer does this particularly well.
colors outside of the shop along with the rustic looking signs that give off this vintage feel. - why did they choose this vibe, why do they want to portray this..
b. Note 1-2 places in the blog where the writer might build upon the claim/support/analysis paradigm.
There was a wonderful soothing acoustic set of music playing in the background- why that music, why do young people separate from older ones. is that something the cafe helps in?
3. As a result of this analysis, readers should begin to see a relationship between the photos taken of the space. What major themes/ideas define the relationship you see between these photos? If the relationship is unclear or undeveloped, what can the writer do to establish a clear relationship between the photos?
Your blogs all flow together they all connect.
4. Comment upon the design of the blog. Is the blog’s visual design easy to read, professional in appearance, and in sync with the purpose? Do you have any suggestions for improving upon the design?
I like the rustic effect and at the beggining i thought it had nothing to do with the cafe but i read latr on that it did, maybe you could add a few brighter colors to also portray younger people
5. Consider the writer’s choice of words and the tone s/he uses in the blog. Do these choices seem appropriate for the target audience (English 102 students and instructors)? Are there any places in the text where the choices seem out of sync with the target audience?
