Death Penalty Meals

The presentations of both blogs are different and unique. No Seconds, I felt, was the better presentation. The use of physical photographs along with a description really helped me personally get a good idea of a last meal. 

While The Last Meal Project was uniquely presented, I found myself easily distracted and vaguely bored while reading it. 

While the font is similar, if not identical, using red font in The Last Meal Project caught my eye more so than the black used in No Seconds. That being said, the use of black font in No Seconds made more sense because the pictures were the main focus. The Last Meal Project’s main focus was clearly the words themselves, which in truth were a little boring, so they needed a little jazz. 

No Seconds spacing also helped create a more organized and appealing look. I While reading I felt like I had room for my sight to settle on the sentence I was reading, instead of having hyperactive, red font distracting me form what I was reading.

Also, in No Seconds, the use of individual slides with examples made the point clearer. Taking the time to click between each slide that contained specifics really stayed in my head, versus just a plain, red, paragraph. 

In No Seconds the final slide has several lines of writing laced with sarcasm and wit made reading vastly more enjoyable versus twenty-two lines of Charlie Brown adults talking. The Last Meal Project made me her the ‘wah wah wah’ in my head, which consequently went in one ear, and right out the other. 

Presentation is everything, in anything you do. Whats interesting on the outside draws more of a following, and is more likely to be paid attention to, thus forcing an impact. When one presents themselves, or a work in a boring and plain way it tends to attract the minimal amount of viewers, which equal a lack of voice.
