To begin compiling my e-portfolio, I will combine all of my texts onto one website to create a single hub it can be accessed from. This will allow for consistency of style, theme, and color, giving these diverse texts the feel of a collection. Specifically, I plan to include my three projects from this class…
Hello! I side with the belief that hypertext is an incredibly useful digital text-making tool. As Vandendorpe put it, because it can “link seamlessly billions of pages as if they were a single entity, a constantly evolving book“. This is the beauty of a digital text that does not transfer back to its ancestor, the…
I never used to think much about hypertext. But then I started to produce digital media, causing me to realize the importance of hypertext. Hypertext has the “ability to link seamlessly billions of pages as if they were a single entity, a constantly evolving book.” It changes the way someone reads, enhancing the whole experience….
Here is the link to my remix: http://cyoalittlemermaid.carrd.co My remix is a choose-your-own adventure version of “The Little Mermaid” by Hans Christian Andersen.

For this assignment, I’m investigating point and click games, specifically horror ones. These games vary in their ambition and quality, since most these days are indie games available in places like Steam. They’re also heavily exploration-based—after all, the only thing players can really do is “point” and “click” on their computer screen—though there are plenty…
I started listening to podcasts during my first internship, which was a full-time desk job in editing for marketing. Sitting at a desk from 9-5 every day for three months was something I hadn’t been prepared for, and I had never even had a part-time job before then. It was too quiet, and I would…
Video Games are inherently more interactive than other forms of media, such as e-books or other forms of digital publications. Geoffrey Rockwell speaks to video games as a media, stating they are some of the most effective “uses of images, animations, and environmental sound to create a fictional world characterized by navigation”.
