    An Artist Willalways Create a Work with the Audience in Mind

    An artist will always create a work with the audience in mind, this is a false statement as most great artists contradicted what was socially acceptable in their period. Artist such as Edouard Manet, Artemisia Gentileschi and Francis Bacon, all created much discrepancy with their works through the themes in which they portrayed, and the meanings they gave. Hence no, artists do not create their works with the audience in mind.…

    Audience Purpose and Tone

    When writing academically it is imperative that you are consistently mindful of you purpose, audience, tone, and content. You need always to ensure that you make your purpose clear to your readers in your thesis statement. As you use your body to support your thesis; you need to be sure to provide intricate detail that illustrates your purpose. It is best to use details and examples that are not only relevant to the topic, but also understandable to your audience. Your reader will lose interest if you go beyond their level of understanding, and if you explain too much. When writing you have to find a middle way, and you achieve this by using enough detail to be clear, but not saturate the point. More than that when you use too much detail your tone can sometimes seem condescending to your reader, and this will also make them lose interest in your writing. You need to be consistently mindful of how you are presenting your ideas, and be sure that you are leaving your biases and emotions out of the writing. When in doubt it is best just to stick to the facts, and explain them in detail when you are constructing an academic writing.…

First of all, we will set mother and father who are in age range between 25-30 years old as our target audiences. This is because most of the time, the parents will usually to purchase diapers for their babies. The reason why we choose mother and father who are in between age 25 to 30 is because, according to a survey by the National Population and Family Development Board (LPPKN), we get to know that the average age at first marriage for men and women is from age 28.6 and 25.1 respectively in year 2000. Hence, we estimate that the marriage couple in age between 25-30 might have or raising a baby now. Therefore, there is a very high possibility that they will consume the diapers for their baby.…

At the beginning, the concentration was mainly on textual information. Information technology used for textual information ranged from paper archiving tool to the sophisticated electronic computer software tools such as data base management systems, and hypertext tools. Images were very difficult to be included in an information system just few years ago till the scanners technology has been advanced together with the invention of the optical storage devises which have the capacity to store hundreds of mega bytes. This technology has enabled the developers to include images in their systems. Input peripherals to capture video and audio information have been also commercialized and are now available in the market. Storage of audio and video would be impossible unless large storage media were invented. The advances in data processing have led to generating efficiently information from data. Software tools and methodologies have been developed in the field of statistics and data analysis to process data and to let these data more informative to users who need them.
