Brief Video Game History
The first video game was created in 1958 and was called Tennis for Two. In the 1970s, Atari created early arcade games like Computer Space and Pong, popularizing the video game industry. In the 1980s, Nintendo launched the NES console and games like Super Mario Bros, The Legend of Zelda, and Metroid, starting the console wars between Nintendo, Sega, and others. World of Warcraft's success in 2004 demonstrated the popularity of online and PC gaming. The mobile gaming industry also grew significantly in the late 2000s with the rise of smartphones.
Dungeons & Dragons history
Dungeons & Dragons, conceived by Gary Gygax as an extension of his wargaming hobby to include fantasy elements, became one of the first role-playing games and an inspiration for many video games. Starting as a supplement for his wargames called Chainmail, Gygax added magical elements to engage players. With friend Dave Arneson, they expanded on this, forming the company Tactical Studies Rules to publish the seminal title Dungeons & Dragons in 1974. D&D went on to huge commercial success but also moral panics over its occult themes before being acquired by Wizards of the Coast and then Hasbro, who continue publishing new editions today.
Rhetoric of Advertising
Advertisements use visual rhetoric to convey messages and influence consumers. Imagery, color, layout, and other design elements all work together to appeal to audiences on an emotional level and shape perceptions. How an ad presents itself visually impacts what impressions it makes and what actions it inspires in viewers.
Logos
The document discusses logos and their purpose from a rhetorical perspective. It emphasizes that logos must represent an organization or person completely and that decisions about logos must be precise and grounded rhetorically. It then lists 10 rules for effective logos, such as answering who, what and why, identifying rather than explaining, and designing for longevity and a variety of media. The document notes that personal logos can be challenging but that the key is understanding the occasion rhetorically and infusing unique personality elements.
