Category: Multimodal Project

Throughout this paper, I chose to use the spatial, audio, visual, and of course, linguistic mode. Linguistic, all things words, is obvious throughout the entire paper as it is an essay explaining my point of view on narrative vs non-narrative. Spatially, I decided to take a different organization for my paper. I included headers which were underlined, bolded, and enlarged to indicate important topics of the text. Each paragraph is indicated by these headings which are also mentioned in my thesis. I also decided towards the end of my paper to conclude with a few sentences mentioning to my reader that whether they chose to see their life as narrative or non-narrative, was their choice. This section, which serves as a conclusion, is separated from the text by two horizontal lines across the paper, indicating that it is not part of the prior section, but something that should stick out to the reader as they finish the paper. For audio, I inserted links to the narrative project I chose to include in my paper, as well as the link to a song which, as I mentioned in my paper, reminded me of a past time. These hyperlinks are included in the text, which stands out to the reader as they are colored blue. Lastly, I chose to use the visual mode in a couple of spots of my paper. To start my paper, I included a picture of an open book which foreshadows to the reader that what they are about to read may be about a story. At the end of my paper, I placed a picture of an art project from my 3D Fundamental of Art last semester. In the picture, the sculpture depicts a hand writing a story. The book underneath indicates my past and the unopened book on the top indicates the story I am writing in this next chapter of my life. I included a description next to the picture so that the reader will better understand what the picture is representing.
