I have chosen to carryover Victoria stern’s and Tara Santora’s articles that cover the history and the effectiveness of subliminal messaging. I picked these two articles because I’m working with historical fiction and basics of how subliminal messages could be leveraged or misused. Exploring how things could go wrong is an effective rhetorical tool to prompt a reaction from people. The other three sources I’ve chosen to help me write a brief alternate history to go along with my infographic, I will have at least two more sources on the history that my timeline diverges from but I will stick with in the 50’s-60’s era when subliminal messaging in marketing was first deployed. I might also have some section on the modern day after the impact of what has changed do to the departure in the 50’s.
