Humor Project!

For my humor project I decided to look at fashion in politics and the impact it makes on our politicians. I decided to use the tag line, "Who wore it better", like they do in US Weekly and People Magazine. I took 5 poster boards and put pictures of Sarah Palin vs. Pamela Anderson in a red bathing suit, Brad Pitt & George Clooney vs. Al Gore and Barack Obama, Hilary Clinton vs. a model in Marc Jacobs, and Jack Gyllenhaal vs. George W. Bush. For my last poster I cut out bodies of male models and put Obama, and McCain's heads on them and ended it with, "Some fashions should be left for the stars".

I really enjoyed your humorous argument. It was a really funny idea and very creative. You did a really nice job, and I loved some of the pictures. I do not really have any suggestions.

I liked the unique idea and it was really funny. The last one with the fake bodies was great. But I wasn't really sure what your argument was. And check your math, one of the cards added up to 103%

I really liked your humorous argument. It was very original and it made me laugh. What I might ask you to consider is who is your audience? It seems to me like it is geared toward our age. If that's so, then I would say that I wouldn't change anything! Good job!

This was very creative and I could tell the amount of time you took to put this together. I say well done. Make sure that your main point is clear, and that you don't stray from it. Other than that, very well done Marissa.

Very funny, and well put together. I can tell you spent a lot time putting it together. It was a relief from all the seriousness that politics can bring. Honestly don't change a thing, great job.

This was very creative and original! It's nice to see a topic that is more fun and less serious. However, I'm not really sure what the argument is. But this was very funny!

Your humorous arugment was very creative and very effective. I really laughed and enjoyed looking at your argument. The percentages and polls added alot. Maye you could some more commentary and a funny title to top it off! Good Job.

I don't think I have any bad things to say because it was done so well. It looked very good and it was very funny. You did a great job, i just wonder how long did it take you to do all of that!?

Yours was hilarious! The only thing I noticed was that some of your percentages didn't add up to 100%. Tiny tiny tiny detail - the rest was hilarious!

Marissa, I really like yours! One suggestion I have is to maybe make it more of a political point or point that fashion should not be considered so much in politics. But the idea with the pictures and percentages is great!

I dont like to play favorites but your project made me laugh the most. You did a real good job to explaining your argument aswell as displaying it. I dont thinbk you need to change it all.

This one really made me laugh, the last one was great. This was a great idea. I would like to be able to suggest something else, but nothing seems to stand out in a negative way. Great, great work.

I really like the idea! It's very cute and very realistic. I think it's very creative and I really don't have anything bad to say! it made me giggle! Maybe a little caption of where the politicians wore the outfit could be helpful but it was very good!

You did an awesome job. All of those pages were colorful and original. Each one of them had funny pictures in them. I really like the Bush one.

Marrisa i Loved it. the last one was amazing but a bit disturbing. I would just maybe add one to show how fashion might affect the election.
