Though I don’t know much about “The Walking Dead” (yes I know, I am one of the few people who don’t watch it (but plan to eventually)) I do know that it is a very big franchise that has expanded over multiple media elements. According to Wikipedia, “the Walking Dead is an American post-apocalyptic horror…
For my remix, I created an interactive hypertext version of Molly McCully Brown’s collection of poems, The Virginia State Colony for Epileptics and Feebleminded, choosing bits of writing from the collection and mapping them onto a map of the Virginia State Colony. I chose this text because it is hauntingly beautiful, and as I read it for my…
When I think of transmedia franchises, the first things that come to mind are Disney franchises such as the princesses or Star Wars, or video game franchises such as Resident Evil or Halo. However, I’m not a huge fan of any of those things, so I want to offer a new take on transmedia storytelling…
The text I remixed was a story I wrote entitled “My Side.” The short story is told through both perspectives of a high school couple named Jesse and Veronica. The story is about Jesse discovering that Veronica was cheating on him. It flips back and forth between the two characters – both explaining their side…

The Destination Earth ad is an old ad for the oil industry. It advocates competition in business everywhere, not just oil. The stock videos all show scenes of natural beauty. The last few show urban animals. The…
https://louvenathescout.bandcamp.com/album/maia What started as a remix project to turn my poetry into songs became a dream come true. My first collected work of music. An album. Maia. In Greek mythology, Maia was the daughter of Atlas and the mother of Hermes, the god of travel. Maia is also the name of my car, a symbol…
For my Remix Project I ended up going with my third idea which was to remix the collection of images I found in the public domain. I created a Wix website to house my images, which I transformed from their original 1898 print versions into interactive photos about modern day stereotypes. The original texts are…
https://view.genial.ly/5ab95488450fab68b96de6e7/50-shades-or-metoo For my project, I remixed three texts: Fifty Shades of Grey, a #MeToo story, and a quiz I found comparing Fifty Shades to a #MeToo experience. I chose these texts to highlight the ways in which Fifty Shades does not show a healthy BDSM relationship, but rather it portrays abuse quite similar to real stories of partner…
https://sites.google.com/view/digitalpublishingremixproject/home (click the pink heart on the title slide first before continuing to the second!) For the first time in a while, I am extremely happy with a project. I spent a lot of time (probably more than I should) making this into something I would be proud of. Using Genial.ly.com, I decided to…
