I decided to make my project into a series of videos- four on trailer business and one introduction, and post it to a website for public consumption.

My progess has been waylaid by a number of factors, but here are the first three videos in the series:

Towards a final project

So here’s my project and it’s all y’all’s fault that it ain’t done.

While trying to bring together a semester’s worth of exploration, I came upon the difficulty that Morgan explores in her term project: this doesn’t work as a linear text. Not knowing where I wanted to start assuming prior knowledge on the part of my reader, I found myself writing in blurbs, each targeted at an 18 year-old audience (Thanks, Pepper). So then I decided that this whole InDesign thing wasn’t quite so bad after all (mad props to the ICaP Doc group) and started experimenting with a textbook style document design.

Dave,

I have attached a draft of my working document. I like the direction it is going. I'm still a novice with regard to critiquing visual tests, however, so any advice you offer will be greatly appreciated.

Hey all,Attached is my outline that contains the information I have gathered for the drug culture emergence part of the project, as well as a short essay that talks about what I would like to see in terms of form for a project like this (or any other emergent information investigations). Peace and happy summer!

And without further ado, here is the link to my individual project--a lovely online essay about reimagining ad use in the composition classroom. It's got pretty pictures and I hear that reading it might even be good for your health!
