Our first major writing assignment is to create a formal analytical report on the intended field we wish to pursue. In my case, this would be exploring various academic and non-academic writings in the graphic design or illustration community. Through our six sources, half being academic and half being non-academic, I will study various styles of writing one would use for writing about illustrations or graphic design. Specifically going into rhetorical elements, such as audience, topic, and purpose, and how it relates to the two-dimensional art world. For example, I could look at an essay that discusses the transformation and different styles of illustrations in advertisements throughout the years and see how the author’s chose to write about it. This report is all about creating a condensed place of information about the writings in my intended field to others that are considering going into the same field.
1. If I were to do the optional interview section, how close would the professional I am interviewing have to be in my field? For example, if I intend to go into illustration, could I interview my design teacher?
2. If we were to do the interview, can that considered one of the three non-academic sources we need?
3. What is considered academic? What is considered non-academic?
