It seems cliche' to use that as a title, but it really still strikes me as appropriate, so...
Anyway, even though you're all diligently working on your visual rhetoric assignments, I thought these links were too good to pass up. Click here for the video we watched today in class [CBS Sunday Morning, April 09]. Click here for an article that came out today about the Sun-Times corporation filing bankruptcy, one of 5 major newspaper publishers to do so in recent months. Food for thought...

Seeing is believing. Believing is seeing.
A friend recently sent me a link to this video of an artist who works in what's called "tilt-shift" photography, which is often used to create images of fake miniature models. Per our discussion about "truth" in images, about visual rhetoric and communication, I thought it's an interesting thing to think about. Check out the slide show below. If it doesn't load, click on the "Metal Heart" link to go to Vimeo's site.

Some food for thought as you start work on our Visual Rhetoric assignment
In order to get some context on the issue, you might take a look at the following resources. I make no claims about the accuracy of any of these sources, and their views/claims are not necessarily my views/claims. Still, they might give you some thoughts on how to begin crafting your argument for this assignment.
