homework 3/29


I want my wixwebsite to stand out to my audience, so I don’t want to use formal fonts like Times Roman Numeral, instead I want to use more creative fonts that will make my website look more appealing and unique. However, I would stay away from fonts that are very fancy and hard to read such as script fonts. When it comes to font size, I don’t want to keep everything the same size because it resembles an academic paper, which can tend to bore the audience. I think the more important aspects of the website should stand out such as titles, so making them a bigger font will allow viewers to spot them easily. Also, instead of using just one color like writing a paper, I want to incorporate more than one color that could draw attention to the audience. However, in the article the author mentioned that using neutral and muted colors will still make the website seem reliable. I don’t want to use bright colors because I think people will think I focused more on the colors and look of the website, rather than the actual content itself. For the layout of the website I’m planning on adding pictures and visuals, so it will keep viewers interested. Sometimes when websites are too wordy, it can cause readers to lose interest and they can forget what they are reading about. Adding visuals will keep the audience intrigued with the content on the website without having to read multiple pages with just words on them.

The Bedford Book of Genres

Throughout chapter 1 of “The Bedford Book of Genres,” I learned that there are a variety of ways to improve one’s writing. Several writers tend to get carried away while writing that they forget who their audience is and what message they are trying to deliver. This is when one must ask themselves what their purpose of writing is, do they want to present a narrative/ tell a story, inform, or persuade. After figuring out ones purpose they must choose a genre to be able to shorten their idea and be concise. In order for this to occur one must know the basic qualities and agreed-upon rules about the genre they are composing. Once one makes those decisions they move on to the rhetorical situation which mainly explains the idea. This allows the writer to provide support on their purpose such as saying what is great about it or provide statistics, which will automatically make their writing more interesting for the audience to read, as well as, get t...

Action Plan

For my action plan I will add more pictures to my website and continue to expand on my topic. I also plan to make posters to place around campus to reach outside audiences and use that as my nondigital source. I will continue to work over the weekend to finish the project and best carry out my message on my website.

1) In project two I first did a lot of research to gather ideas and topics that I wanted to include in my essay. Then I went through and proofed it while adding citations and formatting everything. I did ended up doing three drafts rather than two. Project one was a little easier to write in my opinion because it was based off of our observations rather than facts and statistics. 2) I liked taking my first draft and transforming it into a final draft. This is where I organized all my thoughts and made the paper flow nicely. Once I have all my ideas out on the paper I can easily reorganize, cut and add new things. 3) I enjoyed project one more. I think it was lighter in the sense that it was more fun to write about. I liked exploring the different kinds of social adaptions in the films while also comparing time eras.
