Project 2 is a technical set of instructions. Its goal is to help guide someone through a process that is being described. I chose to demonstrate how to create and keep a morning routine. This was because I enjoy routines and believe that they give you a sense of control in your life. The platform I chose to use was in the format of a blog style website to reach my goal audience. My audience is busy college students who feel out of control.
There are several multimodal elements that I added into this blog in order to make it more accessible. First, I used links that lead to alternate legitimate sources for more information that the readers can follow up on. I also used different fonts to differentiate which lines were the title, subtitle, and normal text. The pictures that I used were used as an aesthetic feel because that is how most lifestyle blogs look. For the first picture, it is used as the title and should be associated as the main picture for that page. Next, the picture below it should be associated with the specific post and "article". The bolding and bullet points make the main points easier to find and read.
In this project, I used google sites because it had the formatting I wanted. There were several other platforms I attempted to use such as WordPress, Squarespace, and Wix. None of these sites had the formatting or styles I liked. The video at the end of the post was posted to YouTube to also make it more accessible.
This project helped me to learn how to write a technical set of instructions that are easy to follow and appeal to a target audience. Using this new format also was a different thing that I had to learn to do. I had a difficult time with determining where each picture should be placed in comparison with the text. Learning how to word the set of instructions will be a good life skill I will be utilizing.
