Appeal
Sosa-Tzec,Siegel,and Brown (2015)
1. The three modes of appeal (logos,ethos,and
pathos) fluctuate throughout the user experience.
2. Rhetorical operations help in the articulation of
modifications applied to an interface to work on
different platforms.
3. Rhetorical figures (tropes and schemes) help in the
conceptual description of the composition of
interfaces and interactions.
Sosa-Tzec,Siegel,and Brown (2015)
Insummary…
• My practice focuses on visual information design and
interaction design.
• My research is concerned with the compositional
aspects of visual design in printed and interactive
media (i.e.,design poetics),how these aspects
generate meaning (i.e.,design semiotics),and the
ways the affect people's beliefs,attitudes,and
behaviors (i.e.,design rhetorics).
Thanks!
