452 Words2 Pages

An article was published by The New Yorker on December 22, 2008 by Dana Goodyear with the title “I heart Novels”. At the beginning of the article, an illustration created by Adrian Tomine is placed, and its caption reads, “In 2007, cell phone novels held four of the top five spots on the literary best-seller list.” This image is divided into two sections, one being the crowd of people reading, and another being the girl using the cell phone in the foreground. The focal point of this image is the girl using her phone who appears larger than the other people. One thing the article mentioned, which is also visible in the image is the new idea of cell phone novels, which is represented by the girl with bright colors in the viewer’s eyes, and traditional version of books fading away with the black and white colors, which is far from the viewer’s eyes. …show more content…

The crowd includes both men and women, and they are from different age groups. Some people look too old and some are in their teenage years, and they also look like they belong to different profession/ different class of the society. One thing that is also noticeable is that, although they are all sitting together in a crowded place, they are not communicating with one another.

They are all calm and focused on their reading, which suggest that people still like reading the printed version of

The book Fahrenheit 451 by Ray Bradbury has constantly been mislabeled for censorship. According to the author, “ his book is about the TV replacing books in society and is not about censorship.” In this essay, I will be evaluating how Bradbury’s book has been somewhat right about society, but also his fear on how technology is progressing more and that it would replace books.

But what some of the things that he feared also has become useful now that we have technology, but because some things books can’t provide that technology can.

#1: Although Ray Bradbury’s novel, Fahrenheit 451, was written more than sixty years ago, it serves as an accurate prediction of how technology interferes with the quality of life for not only fictional characters, but also the humans of 2016. The obsession with technology in Fahrenheit 451, is drawing people into a daily habit of watching TV, however, because they watch so much television and don’t read, they are mindless, not remembering a thing about what they watched. Intelligent things, like reading books, are of nonexistence and even illegal. Only a small portion of people wish to retrogress to the time of books, but instead people grow up with more uneducated things like watching television and joining in on crime. In Fahrenheit

However, as Milton Glaser (n.d.), one of the most celebrated graphic designers expressed, “most of us here today are in the transmission business. While we don’t often originate the content of what we transmit, we are an essential part of communicating ideas to a public that is affected by what we say [and present]” (para. 21). Book covers are an important part of the publishing process because it is likely everyone’s first impression of the book and one of the main deciding factors of whether or not they’ll purchase it. After all, as Jorge Frascara (1997), a recognized leader in visual communication design stated “the objective of all visual communication is to effect a change in the public’s knowledge, attitudes and behaviour (p.3). As a designer, connections are made and developed during the design process, and the work you create can affect a lot of people, and as a result, it comes with responsibilities to
