{My Experience Writing in Digital Spaces}
After studying digital rhetoric throughout my own
production of podcasts, website designs, blogs, and
infographics, I’ve observed its importance in each of these
formats. Not once in my many hours of planning these
projects did I fail to consider the individual I was intending
to reach and how each graphic and word choice would affect
their perspective of me and my work. This thought process
is what has molded my digital presence the most. My once
unplanned, unprofessional work is now being replaced by
carefully revised posts, and extremely prepared for the next
project the digital universe throws at me.
{Design Statement}
I began designing this newsletter by
writing the columns with the goal of
making it pretty word-dense. After getting
all the information down, I noticed that
the project fell a little flat. I decided to
use bright, contrasting clipart with drop
shadows to give the pages more
dimension and flare. I attempted to keep
an informative tone throughout each
column, as the purpose of the project was
to educate an audience (most likely of
older students looking for information on
this topic) on digital rhetoric. I will be
posting the project onto my website. I
used a background that looked natural
because it will go with the nature-themed
photos on the website’s pages.
