My Idea for RM final paper

Topic “ How do people use visual resources (photography, Typography, Lay-out design etc.) to describe what they are selling /posting in online auction in this case will study from EBay”

This project will looks at one aspect of visual communication in order to study how ordinary people use a variety of visual techniques to describe a range of objects. The chosen site is eBay, an online auction platform used by hundreds of millions of people across the globe to buy and sell goods of every description. This site was chosen because sellers on eBay can use photographs that they have taken themselves of the item on sale as well as their own words to describe what they are trying to sell. The particular focus of this project is to study how photographic and typography techniques vary across different types of product and different types of sellers.

Motivation

- Personally, I am interested in selling /buying things online also I have experienced to be buyer and seller in eBay.

- The visual activity is done by ordinary people, not professional.

- The number of eBay user currently has more than 200 million live listings, 33 percent more than at this time a year ago. This number can show this is one kind of business that people may like it.

PS, This is just an idea,so I will try to put more informations asap.
