After conveying my project ideas to my group I will now be able to hone in on the exact message that I am trying to express to my viewers. I am going to be using a theme similar to the iPOD logo. My literacies will be displayed through a picture and the text will be superimposed onto the picture. Each one of my literacies will be labeled as iTEXT, iWORK, iREAD…etc. Seeing as I am using the iPOD theme my group members suggested that my color and music scheme reflect that of the iPOD commercials.
My group members were also concerned with my idea for how I plan to illustrate my various literacies. My plan is to take a picture of me conducting my literacy with the title on each page (i.e iTEXT when I am texting). I want to use as little text as possible, but they urge me that it may be hard to capture the total essence of my literacy without adding more text to elaborate on the image. It is important that the viewer be able to understand the message of the author. I know I understand what my literacy means…but that doesn’t mean that the reader understands it as well.
They also urged me to make sure that I have appropriate closure to my literacies. It is important that the thesis or statement not be left open ended. The reader always enjoys closure…just like in a movie.
