What changes did you make to purpose when creating your multimodal? Why?
I tried making my purpose for the project a combination of all of the problems and then attractive enough for the audience to go slightly further to help create the solution.
What audience did you choose, and what changes and/or choices did you make for that audience? Why?
I made my audience more specific with students at the University of Mississippi. I was able to take pictures of the actual laundry rooms and make it more attractive to the younger generation.
What other changes did you make in order to use images in addition to words to convey meaning?
I used emojis as well to attract my audience to influence them to take action to bring attention to the necessary people for a solution.
What do you think went well with the multimodal project?
I think my multimodal is very attractive for my necessary audience and I think it would definitely do the job to get them to take the extra step in going to Instagram to help with a solution. Also, because I used my own pictures, I think that would draw the attention of the students that I’ve in residence halls with the same laundry rooms. Because they see a picture of their laundry room on a flyer, they would automatically be interested and wonder why.
What would you like to have done differently?
I wish I could have used even fewer words or my words were more drawing. I think the pictures are very drawing to the naked eye but I wish the words were more persuasive. I also wish I was passionate enough (and staying at Ole Miss) to actually make the Instagram page and follow through with it and try to make a real change within my community.
Thank you for your thoughtful reflection! This helps me to understand your project.
I’m sorry to hear that you won’t be staying at UM, but I wish you luck in the future! One piece of advice: If you’re planning to transfer, be sure to download and save a copy of each course syllabus for the classes you’re taking at UM. Sometimes when you transfer, the new school will ask for a copy of the syllabus to compare to their course descriptions.
