Genre #3: Poster

For my final remediation I chose to use a poster to represent the positive and negative perceptions of Silicon Valley. This is my favorite genre because it balances out both aspects without siding towards a positive or negative view. The poster provides a visual mirror of buildings of Silicon Valley while including famous companies Apple, Facebook and Google. The mirror feature shows the same buildings with different descriptions. Both sides provide accurate descriptions, good and bad, but allow the audience to choose what they see and choose what they want to believe.
The purpose of this poster is to show that although there are many perspectives of any matter, you must consider every aspect. In this case, Silicon Valley can provide many resources and benefits but there are always downfalls. This also applies to every tech-capital, not solely Silicon Valley but in America, the positive perception is blown out of proportion. The simplistic design and minimal changes between each side guides the audience to focus on the contrasting written descriptions. The visual mode allows the audience to quickly and easily obtain the information and process it in an effortless manner. Overall, the poster concludes the growing perspective facets within my second paper.
