I’m used to putting together portfolios in the context of creative writing classes, so I’ve found it interesting to think about how the process of compiling an electronic portfolio of work from this class might be similar to or different from what I’m used to. In thinking about how to put together a digital portfolio…
13) A Refined Collection
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…
13) My Portfolio!
Throughout this semester we have done a lot of work in what both seems like a short amount of time, and a long time. I would definitely want to include my Remix project in my portfolio as it is the work I am most proud of for this class. Depending on how my Transmedia package…
13: My Portfolio
As part of Kathleen Blake Yancey’s definition of a portfolio in “Portfolio, Electronic, and the Links Between,” she states that a portfolio should showcase a “collection of work” (130). My portfolio would collect the three major projects that I have completed for this class, the reflections for each, and some of the blog posts that…
11: Stewardship and Organization: Hypertext as a Viably Flawed System
I’m intrigued by the idea of hypertext as an especially interactive and sometimes collaborative medium. I still find it puzzling though. I understand the premise and purpose, even though I don’t fully understand the concept and all of its intricacies. I’ve also done some reading on this topic for Dr. Robertson’s History of the Book…
12: Hypertext
Inreading and thinking about hypertext, I also found myself interested in the point the Cara’s blog post raised, that through hypertext digital publishing allows texts to be “woven together.” When learning about hypertext in previous publishing courses, we’ve discussed the ways in which texts are already linked to each other, particularly academic articles that cite…
12. Hypertext
Like many others have mentioned, I often associate hypertexts with Wikipedia. One of my favorite ways to waste time is getting into Wikiholes, starting with one innocent article and then it’s suddenly been three hours following different links. I’ve ended up on the Titanic passenger list too many times to count. I think that hypertexts…
Hypertext!
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…
12. Hypertext
One of the greatest strengths of digital publishing is the way that text can be shared an woven together. Collaboration is much more common in digital publishing than in traditional publishing, but it works in different ways, too. For example, hypertext, which, according to Belinda Barnet and Darren Tofts’s essay “Too Dimensional: Literary and Technical Images…
12. Hypertext
Unlike my classmates I did not think of Wikipedia when I thought about hypertext I was at a loss. When I read my classmates post I could only think of YouTube’s recommended videos on the side so it gives the watcher more options on what to what. Which is how I end up on “the…
