Visual Rhetoric- When I first opened the No Seconds website,
the first thing that popped up was a picture of an olive on a plate. When you pressed the arrow, more pictures of
food dishes came. Next to the pictures
was information about the people who had those meals as their last meal before
being executed. The pictures of the food
were a nice way to show what an inmates idea of a perfect meal for their last
meal. Some of the inmates choose their
favorite meals and some did not get to choose any meal. No Seconds was more about the pictures of the
food and why Henry Hargreaves wanted to take pictures of a person’s last
meal. In the Last Meal Project, the
website starts on a paragraph explaining the death penalty. Then when you press the arrow a picture of an
inmate with food and information about the inmate. In between every few pictures is information
about last meals and the death penalty.
I like the Last Meal Project website more than the No Seconds
website. It was a more powerful message
showing not just food, like in No Seconds, but also the picture of the inmate
in Last Meal Project. I also liked that there
was written information in between the pictures. It was interesting to read about the last
meal and death penalty rather than just see pictures of food. I did not know that your last meal has a
budget of only $40 and has to be bought locally. When looking at the pictures, it made me
wonder what I would want my last meal to be.
Hopefully I would never have to deal with that, but I would want; diet
Dr. Pepper, Chicken vinaigrette salad, a dozen Ocharley’s rolls, a Big Mac, and
strawberry shortcake. Both websites used
a bold, white colored background. I did
not feel I really learned anything from the No Seconds website aside from what
inmates could eat for their last meal.
However I learned about the last meal establishing in jails and death
penalty statistics in the Last Meal Project.
