Building a new media project, often, begins with a pen and paper. You get an idea and jot it down.You create a mockup or storyboard. Planning it out makes the project easier to design, organize, and reorganize. It also makes it easier to check that you’ve addressed all aspects of your rhetorical situation.
For your blog this week, look at your mockup (or website, for those of you who’ve already started). Briefly explain how you have, or have not, addressed each element of the rhetorical situation: audience, purpose, context, genre, stance, delivery. Which modes of communication–linguistic, visual, spatial, aural, gestural–are you using? Why? If you haven’t thought about an element, yet, how might you revise your mockup to address it?
