COMPOSITION AS DESIGN digital writing consulting

___________________________________________________________________

“Digital Writing = Writing (verbal) + Design (spatial) + Distribution (message)”

Literacy is evolving at a rate faster than we can comprehend it, let alone teach it.

As we are in the "Late Age of Print," it is important your school supplements print

materials with multi-modal texts (hybrid of verbal, visual, and spatial).  

The irony is that most students (digital natives) are more experienced with these

texts than their teachers (digital immigrants).  I can help with this transition and

prepare teachers and students to compete in the digitally sophisticated world.

Specializing in:

•Design-driven writing (advertising, graphics, layout)

•Multimodal writing (using sound, movement, space for effect)

•Media studies (literacy is technology)

•Immersive Media (2.5D, Prezi, and 3D virtual worlds, Second Life)

•Hypertext (non-spatial writing)

•Comics & Graphic Novel writing (narrative and design)

•Meta-tech writing (using technology to teach technology)

• Post-modernism (the mixing of different artistic styles and media)
