For the Project 2 draft it was a lot less synthesizing than my project 1 draft. Although less documents were being used, I found it hard to try and figure out how I could take these technical terms in the document and translate them into something for a common audience without seeming condescending. Since this project is more on visual effects, I thought that a video would suit the project. The video uses a lot of pathos, and if we enter that into our own website that we create on the Flint Water Crisis, I think it will allow for more common people to relate and see importance in the issue. The video discusses a little girl fighting for environmental changes to help the drinking water in her community, and I think that by using this it will resonate a lot with viewers. I think that project two overall will be a little more difficult than project one because it requires us to take into not only what we are thinking, but what our partner is thinking. Trying to strike a good balance between the ideas that I have and the ideas that my partner has will be harder when it comes to putting the entire project together. I think if there is anything different I could do with drafting and brainstorming for project two it would be to take more time on focusing on the visual aspects. I solely focused on trying to understand the technical document and failed to remember that the project has to be something visually interesting to viewers. I think that for the next draft, the website will help solidify the ideas we have and put them into a form that is more interesting for readers to view. To start the revisions on this, the webpage must be designed, and my partner and I have to figure out what pieces of information we want to include and which ones we can get rid of. We also need to decide on what types of colors and designs we will use to get the page to be appealing to readers.
Hi Brianna! Ilked reading about your process for Project 2. My partner and I are also doing a website for our topic. I agree that the design aspect of the website will be very important in terms of getting the audience to fully understand the messages we want to convey.
