Portfolio

Writing Sample

A comparative theory outlining the persuasiveness of infomercials. This project utilizes a literature review of relevant theories before applying the Cognitive Dissonance Theory (CDT) and Elaboration Likelihood Model (ELM) to the persuasive model of infomercials. After theories are established, I examine my own experiences with the persuasiveness of an infomercial product. Finally, I conclude the relevance of CDT and ELM to infomercials and my experiences with infomercial products. This project highlights my ability to use word processing programs, such as Google Docs.

This project highlights my ability to navigate programs such as KightLabs to build projects across mediums.
