While writing my multi-modal web text I tried to think of a topic that was connected to my previous projects. By my third project on homes, I was exhausted on the subject. SO I searched for a specific type of home. At first I brainstormed and tried to think of different types of homes (Log homes, glass homes, and environmentally friendly homes). Because I needed to pick a broad topic that contained enough information to do a podcast and a web text I picked eco-friendly homes. My audience was anyone that was interested in knowing more about environmentally friendly lifestyles. My purpose was to create a web page that was like an all in one stop, where people searching for information on eco-friendly homes could also find information on other aspects of eco-friendly living.
The design of my multi-modal web text revolves around going green. I created a green background. The pictures that I implemented throughout the page were designed to create a visual image of difficult concepts. I organized the page in such a way that people can easily access supporting sites. On the left side of the page there is a bar that separates the actual web text from my supporting sources and recommended readings.
If I had some more technical knowledge, I would have put a video in my project. I seen a couple other people do it, and it looked awesome, and quite professional.
There were so many supporting links to choose from on maintaining a green lifestyle. Although I am happy with the abundance of resources, it often got me sidetracked from my original topic.
Some major obstacles that I had to overcome were that I had too much information. I had a hard time staying on topic and that made me have writers block. I was filled with confusion. My conference with Crystal got me through it, and she gave me words of encouragement to progress to the end.
