I really enjoyed certain genres within various students’ project 3 tabs. Each student, in my opinion, had strengths and weaknesses to their project. For example, Camryn Colavecchio had a tab titled “flyer” which showed a flyer she made, and where she hung it up. However, the actual tab on the site was not very user-friendly. This made it difficult for me to read the flyer itself and took me a while to understand that the supporting photos were bulletin boards on which she posted her flyer. One aspect of Camryn’s project that I really enjoyed, however, is her “multi-media site” tab. This tab shows a website with photos, music, and text explaining what the event is, who is involved, and why they do what they do.
I also thought it was cool how some students created a genre that consisted of more than one “text.” For instance, Charlotte Skipper’s Genre #2 was a tweet and a photo album. The album itself was her genre, while the tweet was a supporting text she used to circulate her album to the public.
Not all of the students work was created electronically, which I also enjoyed. For instance, Charlotte Skipper created a world map by hand using a printed outline and colored pencils. This was very unique and creative, which I appreciated! Vivi Newynne also did a great job with this by creating a cartoon by hand and uploading images of it to her website.
Aside from the genres themselves, some students did an excellent job in their actual website by providing an incredibly user-friendly platform to display their project 3. For instance, Vivi Newynne’s Project 3 tab was so organized, visually appealing, and user-friendly.
