The Writer/Designer workbook emphasizes ideas that might seem a bit obvious, but it was necessary for me to understand them completely in order to create a great multimodal auto-ethnography. A multimodal work should include visual, linguistic, spatial, gestural, and aural components. These media will help me capture the reader's attention and make him/her engage my work. To convey ideas, text should be used, and these ideas should be emphasized by visual or aural elements. As with every other literary piece, word choice and fluency are key. Finally, visual, spatial, and aural components provide color, feeling, and layout to the multimodal writing. I must keep in mind all of these elements while also considering who my audience is and how to approach them best.
From what I read on these chapters, I think that the most important thing that I must keep in mind when I write is my audience. Word choice, structure, and tone all depend on who I will be writing to and for. I learned that if I don't think of my audience while I write, I will probably lose their attention; they won't be engaged. Chapter 2 of the Carroll book focuses on the comparison between traditional, physical writing publications and digital writing. It focused on: -Timeliness -Credibility -Transparency -Accessibility Main goals and ideas to keep in mind when I write: 1. Be clear and concise 2. Make sure all images and texts have their citation 3. Keep audience in mind so that my word choice and tone are appropriate
