Design Concept Statement

This journal entry will be slightly different from those you've completed so far. For this entry, you will use the design concepts discussed by Sorapure and Arola (Bb library) to think through your approach to designing your final ePortfolio. Here are some specific points that you might address in this entry:

  • Effective ePortfolios tend to be grounded in a coherent concept, crafted for a set of specific audiences, and composed to accomplish a specific purpose/set of purposes. What audiences do you hope to reach through your ePortfolio, and what do you want those audiences to learn? Given your answers to these questions, what visual, sonic, textual, etc. components should you include in your ePortfolio? 
  • What effect will the Wix templates have on your composing choices and your audience's reception of the ePortfolio? 
  • How can you capitalize on metonymy and metaphor to make your ePortfolio most effective? 
  • Lastly, what questions &/or concerns do you have about designing the ePortfolio, especially after reading Sorapure & Arola's texts?

  1. When creating my first ePortfolio, I hope to attract internship/employment recruiters from Adult Swim, Abso Lutley Productions, and various record labels by showcasing my writing and editing abilties through examples of coursework I have completed throughout my time here at Florida State. I would like to design my homepage using an abstract visual for the background, and only featuring my name that functions as a clickable link, and my occupations in the middle of the front page. I think it would catch the attention of my desired audience, and exhibit that I am a fan of unorthodox and peculiar content. By using templates given to me by Wix, I will lose a portion of creative freedom within self-representation. An ideal situation would be that I could edit 100% of each page, ranging from the shape and size of every text or image box to the various font shapes and sizes throughout the entire portfolio. These templates also give the audience a sense of who I am without me having to put in a ton of effort. You can pick specific designs that are image oriented, which exhibit possible interest in photography or graphic design. When thinking about how I could capitalize on metonymy or metaphor to make my ePortfolio most effective, I envisioned using various clickable images labeled with my different occupations: clicking a picture of a record to take you to a blurb about my time as Program Director at FSU's student-ran radio station, WVFS Tallahassee. I feel as though it will make pages more interactive, as well as aesthetically pleasing.

    As far as questions or concerns go, I am only apprehensive about getting the actual process started, for I've never made an ePortfolio before. Once I've begun, I know there will be trials and tribulations before I am completely satisfied with my end-result, but I am very willing and excited to accomplish such a beneficial project. The interface reminds me of Tumblr a bit, so I feel confident in my ability to adapt to their editing process.

  2. In ENC2135, I've actually worked with Wix before. It was quite the process, really. Picking the template, the backgrounds, the animations, the gifs to go with certain topics on pages, the organization, it was something that cannot be done in one night (and as a master procrastinator, I really mean that.) It's right here http://mme15b.wixsite.com/mastermeg incase anyone is interested in what a Wix portfolio looks like.

    I am still not completely sure what our E-Portfolios are going to contain by the end of this year, especially considering the audience I want to attract is extremely specific- I wish to attract critics, specifically the people who work for Rotten Tomatoes and Metacritic. People have told me that I have a unique voice that usually sparks through my work, both visually and textually, so if I was able to clearly show my editing, writing, organization, and communication skills through my portfolio, that would be the primary goal.

    Now, Wix is a wonderful site that is easy to navigate around, but unless you're going to do that actual subscription where you buy certain templates or go nuts with the coding system to create your own, you're going to have a lot of constraints. Having to work only with the default is going to limit our creative freedoms (like as cool as they looked because I love the sunset aesthetic, I didn't really see how rolling waves on a beach fit with the idea of a research class reflection). Because of this, sometimes visually appeal will have to be second to maturity and organization. What I mean by this is that people who love flowers aren't going to usually stud their resumes with daisies on the margin, so picking concise while also colorful templates and backgrounds are probably going to be more suitable to present to this critical audience to show that I mean business. It's all about balancing showing who I am as a person while also establishing that I take my audience seriously.

    Sorapure was talking about the differences of metaphor and metonymy, and in this case, I think metonymy plays the bigger role since the project has such a large and diverse scale to it. Making the elements of the portfolio work together rather than clash and collide is important to establish focus and clarity for the audience. In my previous case, as in my portfolio I did before in my Freshman year, I added playable songs to certain pages that not only fit my kind of style, but also usually suited the backgrounds. This was meant to make the page less like just a simple screen and more of a transfer to another room like a museum, and the music was often soft (aside from the welcoming one) so that the person who was reading can both get a sense of my aesthetic while also being able to focus.

    Wordiness and spaciousness are the key components that should be considered. One would not want to bore the visitor of the portfolio, but just filling the margins with funny gifs of puppies isn't going to get the message across. Perhaps putting gifs that are as large as the small paragraph they are next to will be more visually appealing, especially if the gif has something to do with the small wall of text to begin with. Honestly using the examples from the text, I am not too sure how metaphor would play out in my eportfolio, but I do understand the continuity and assemblage aspect of metonymy in this case.

    Next class we'll no doubt discuss the terms in detail hopefully, but I think I have a better understanding of what is needed in the portfolio. Since I did one before, while dated since it was less about the format and more about the content (it was literally a checklist of things we had to put in the portfolio, we were just in charge of putting it together), now it's going to be more focused on how it looks and how what you see coincides with what you are learning.

  3. I intend to create my ePortfolio in order to impress future possible employers- such as editing or publishing companies- with not only my writing abilities, but also with my potential and skill as an editor. While not making my ePortfolio too complicated as to distract viewers from my original intent and my writing, I also want to showcase my creativity and eye for design with visual, textual, and sonic components. Keeping this is mind, I won’t want to add too many crazy features, because I want to come off as professional as well as original and creative. I will keep the background for the homepage relatively colorful but not distractedly so. I would also like to add in links to different content and texts on the main page, to not only make the page interactive and interesting, but also to organize everything in a way that displays my sense of design and organization, because as an editor these could be a useful traits. I actually have many concerns about this project, because I have little prior experience using Wix or any similar online mediums. However, I realize that becoming fluent in the language of the online network can be a very useful skill for someone like me who wants to go into the editing, writing, and media industry. In order to accomplish this, I will have to do extra research and spend a lot of effort in making sure everything is not only correct, but is moreover exceptional.

  4. I would hope that my ePortfolio would be able to impress and draw attention from large television broadcast studios as much of my work that I have done throughout the past 5 years has been associated with that line of work. I would hope that my ePortfolio would be able to impress an employer while showing them some of my best work and showing what I am capable of. I would like for the layout to be very simple but very aesthetically pleasing. I would use multiple large images changing every few seconds as well as minimal text on the homepage as just an introduction to the portfolio. Once past the homepage I would want pictures that represent each tab of experience and skill to navigate to. I would have a video editing tab, a direction tab, a live broadcasting tab and then a writing tab. Once in the tabs I would like the background to be simple yet sleek, as I would hope each page is very easy to navigate through. When thinking about using a wix template, I believe I would run into many problems, as I would not be able to create the exact version I would like to create. Instead I would have to work with the given templates that are offered and try and design the portfolio as best I can. I will not have as much freedom in expressing how I would like the page to be set up as I would be constrained by the templates. When thinking about the metonymy of the page I would hope that my clickable tabs with images would properly represent the kind of material that would be included in the tab.
    As we grow and advance, our technology is as well. Though as Arola describes, not many people truly understand how web 2.0 works. Coding in HTML and CSS is becoming more popular but so are these template based webpage designing websites. These template-based websites are taking about from the full potential of Web 2.0 and just making it easier for anyone to create their own homepage. How do we as a society change this, and make coding, programing and proper knowledge of web 2.0 more popular without completely getting rid of these template based webpages?

  5. Though my ePortfolio, I hope to impress a variety of audience members. For this class in particular, the people I am hoping to reach would be my teacher and my classmates because the ePortfolio will be made of projects we do in class; only these people would understand the purposes of the projects. However, later in my life, I would like to show my writing skills as well as my creativity in my ePortfolio. I really dislike doing anything conventionally; I feel that breaking conventions is a great way to grab people’s attention and I think it makes someone a better writer/designer. I am not exactly sure what I want to do when I graduate, but no matter where I am working, I want to tailor my ePortfolio to that specific place of employment. I would only include colors, pictures, and sounds that pertain to that company, and I would also change the tone of my writing. I’ve used Wix to make several websites since I’ve been in college, and although it suffices, I don’t particularly like it. I feel that it constrains the design my website, and it sometimes messes up my text. I feel that I can only work with mainly text bosses and photos. I’m sure that there are other other features of the website, but I’m not sure how to use them and sometimes adding something new messes up the format of my website. So, on Wix, I feel that I cannot be as creative as I hope to be and my audience might just think that I am not all that creative. I can use metonymy in my ePortfolio by adding graphics that pertain to my different projects. For example, for my project on expression, I can add graphics that represent expression, such as a paint-splatter background, and for my project on Pittsburghese, I can add graphics that represent Pittsburgh, like a Steelers’ symbol or a terrible towel. However, I am still a little confused on how to use metaphor in my ePortfolio. I can’t think of something I would use to represent something else or how that would be relevant to this particular audience. One concern I have about designing my ePortfolio is that sometimes my format gets messed up on Wix. I will set everything up perfectly, save my work, and then when I go back to look at it, my text is a different size and part of my text is sometimes missing. I don’t know why that happens, but I might type the text on a word doc and then copy and paste it onto the Wix site incase anything like that happens. After reading the articles, I will definitely make sure that the modes I am using mean something and that I am not just adding them because they look cool. I will only use modes that make my audience feel something.

  6. This ePortfolio will be an interesting challenge, as there are two audiences that I wish to reach through it. I am very interested in comedy, and feel that I could put the editing skills I am learning to use for comedic purposes. Ideally, I would be able to attract audiences such as Comedy Central, Adult Swim, IFC, Netflix, and the production companies that are involved in some of the shows I enjoy, such as the Eric Andre Show, South Park, Bojack Horseman, Comedy Bang Bang, and many other shows I know I am probably missing. This audience can be reached by incorporation of comedic elements such as humorous visuals and sounds, and comedically effective rhetoric. Perhaps my Remediation project will be good for this as well since I am basing it on Eric Andre. The other audience I hope to reach is ocean conservationists and/or those who are interested in anything relating to marine life. The ocean is something I care a great deal about, and I would like to be able to work on something marine-oriented in future careers. This will be tricky to align with a comedy-oriented portfolio, so this is where my main concern lies.
    I have worked with Wix on a project for my Rhetoric class earlier in the semester. I am relatively familiar with how it works, so the actual process should not give me much trouble. However, Wix has a limited selection of templates unless you purchase more, so it may be difficult trying to find a template that aligns with what I am trying to accomplish.
    Metaphor will be important for display purposes, as I can use images and animations to depict certain things, possibly with a humorous undertone. I feel that metonymy is more important for this assignment, however, due to the two differing audiences I hope to appeal to. According to Sorapure, metonymy “designates a relation based on combination” (5). If I can somehow effectively combine comedic elements with a marine theme, I can perhaps achieve both the goals I have set. My main concern with this assignment is that I have never made an ePortfolio before. As such, I will need to do more research and draw from the readings so far in order to compose one that accomplishes the goals I have set.

  7. With my eportfolio, I hope to reach future employers. I've actually done an eportfolio before, for my internship and I got good feedback on what I should do in order to make it more appealing to professionals. This time I’ll have more professional discourse, so I won’t use exclamations. I will also word things more concisely and spend less time making descriptions because I don’t want to drive attention away from my work.

    I hope the people viewing my eportfolio get a good idea of my level of education in this major and that not only my work reflects my knowledge and interest in EWM, but how I design the eportfolio itself. As far as visual aspects, there probably won't be pictures besides the ones that I created for the projects in the class and a headshot.

    The textual components will be things I've done in this class and descriptions about what each page is about. The colors will be neutral. My last eportfolio was too bright and it was distracting and probably too elementary to show employers. The things I have learned in this class will help me in designing it and had I done my internship after this class, my eportfolio for that would probably be much different because I have learned a lot about the impact of visual components and how to use an online medium for this type of communication.

    The Wix templates will make it easy for me to create something for me to showcase my work and make it easy for people who aren't friendly with the site to navigate. I used Wix for my previous eportfolio and it is very user friendly. Because I have used it before, I already have an idea of how I will approach each page.

    As digital technology grows and develops, more people are becoming familiar with how to navigate social media platforms- not just millenials, and this will be beneficial because an online portfolio may seem more appealing to employers than a hard copy of something.

  8. For my ePortfolio, I would like to think that it’s audience would be future employers. More specifically, news agencies such as NPR, Vice, Noisey, and Al Jazeera (I would say The New Yorker but let’s be real here). To me, the two most interesting subjects that could be reported on are politics and music. Truthfully, I wish the election season was year-round for ten decades. I just can’t get enough. It is a real life soap opera with mistresses, secret emails, liars, and possibly murder.
    When it comes to presenting this ePortfolio to my potential employers, I want them to learn about what I have to offer. Not only would the content be rich with my previous work, but also I would want the layout to look pleasing to the eye. I tend to be drawn towards the more minimalistic, black and white kind of layouts and I would want mine to resemble that idea. I would want text, visuals, and audio available for the audience to get a full understanding of me and my work.
    I have never used Wix in my life so I have no clue unfortunately but once I become accustomed to Wix, I am sure it would improve the audience’s perception of me.
    Well, I am a bit apprehensive to create this ePortfolio since I haven’t created one in the past. I also am not accustomed to using Wix which I am assuming is a big part of this project. I would have to spend a few hours in the computer lounge to really play around and figure it out.

  9. Considering the goal outlined for the eportfolio is centered around showcasing my abilities as a writer for future employers, I suppose that would be my target audience. However, I still have no idea what my career goals are so I’m going to focus on my making my portfolio for myself and hopefully that will attract an audience of similar people with similar goals who I may end up working with or working for. I would want the audience to learn about me and what my goals and aspirations are and to find common ground within those. I want to include simple elements in my portfolio that are easy to read and done well. I want all aspects to be clean and composed in a way that seems professional and well put together. I have never used Wix before but I think that the selection process is a direct reflection upon myself. What I choose is how I choose to represent myself, as I am broadcasting only what I want. I can capitalize on metonymy and metaphor to bring about ideas that weren’t necessarily already there. Without outwardly stating the concept word for word it forces my audience to think about what message I’m really trying to get across. Considering Sorapure and Arola’s texts I’m primarily concerned with my own ability. Considering the profound amount of struggle, I go through on a daily basis trying to work the google folder I’m truly terrified to make something like this and make it something I’m proud of. I’m afraid that I won’t be able to work Wix and that the portfolio will turn out sloppy as a result. I’ve never used anything more technologically advanced than Microsoft word, so it’s safe to say I have a lot of learning to do to say the least.

  11. When assembling my ePortfolio, I will have several audiences in mind. First would be this class, because I want to see the reception to my ePortfolio from other students who have gone through the same process. Second, I would also have a general audience in mind, such as friends and family. I want to show them the progress I have made as an EWM major. I think it would be a good preview about for things I could potentially do in my career. Third, I believe the most important audience is future employers. When I begin looking for a job, the ePortfolio can be an effective tool to show my abilities coming out of college.

    As far as composing the ePortfolio, I think Wix can be a useful tool but I am concerned that there will be too many limitations. I have used Wix before and sometimes it feels like I'm not able to have complete freedom to create the exact website I want. I still feel that it can be a useful tool for most projects, as long as you can work within the constraints.

    Metaphor and Metonymy can be used to help better my project. I can take advantage of metaphor by using certain images and sounds to represent other thing. I can use metonymy by combining visuals with sounds to make things more understandable. The only concerns i have with this project is that I am not too well-versed in using digital mediums to make a project. I believe that as the semester continues, I will be more knowledgeable by the time the project is ready to be finished.

  12. Through my ePortfolio, I hope to appeal to magazines, online publication websites, publishing companies, and broadcasting companies (I plan to interview at E.W. Scripps this coming winter break) for job and internship opportunity purposes by showcasing the skills that I have learned in this course as well as others in my major during my undergraduate career. I will showcase my strength in the writing and editing techniques through demonstration of my work in multiple medias. A theme or connection I'd like to develop throughout the portfolio in my compositions is current events and pop culture. I'd like to present myself as someone who is knowledgeable and informed on what is happening in today's society, and who is progressing along with it.
    I plan to include visuals and layouts that are playful and modern, that attract the eye of younger audiences and then keep their attention by demonstrating my personal writing style, rhetoric, and voice. I want my compositions to be perceived as if they can be circulated through a contemporary audience that is engaged by both my utilization of visual and literary aspects.
    I have a limited experience with Wix, but I think by utilizing the templates it will be able to offer my audience an easily accessible and interactive experience with the showcasing of my compositions. I think it will allow me to create a user friendly demonstration of my work.
    Finally, I'm excited to create this ePortfolio. My goal for this project is to actually create something that I will utilize to show to future potential employers. However, I am a bit anxious given this is the first time I've created a composition like this, but I plan to gain feedback from both peers and in office hours as well as maybe look for further guidance in the digital studio in order to get the best results possible.

  13. I hope that my ePortfolio will be able to impress future employers in the writing, editing, and social/digital marketing fields. I hope to showcase my talents as a writer, editor, and social media marketer. I want the layout to be very clean and minimal so the focus is on my content instead of the colors/layout of the portfolio. Obviously I don’t want it to be plain, but I don’t want to have too much going on. For the home page I would possibly want a background photo and then my name in the middle with links to my different skills. For each page I would want the title of the skill bolded at the top, however I would probably use different layouts for each skill. When thinking about the templates, I think it would possibly be easier to customize but it may also be harder to alter the templates. I’ve worked with templates on tumblr, but I have no experience with wix. I will defineitly have to familiarize myself with wix. In regards to the metonymy of the portfolio I would probably put a header picture on each page to indicate the skill it’s pertaining to. When thinking about Sorapure and Arola’s texts my biggest concern is creating the version of an ePortfolio I have in my head. Like I said before, I don’t have any experience with wix so im hoping it won’t be that hard to learn. I really want to create a specific kind of ePortfolio. I’ve created others in the past for different classes but my style has changed and I have much more work/experience being a Junior. I hope I am able to figure out wix and create a great portfolio that I can continue to use after I am finished with this course.

  15. I hope to attract future job employers from my e-portfolio. Specifically I hope to attract the view from magazine companies and publishing houses. Any kind of magazine company would be nice, from cosmopolitan magazine to Skyy magazine from Delta Airlines. I'm not quite sure what my portfolio will contain; however, I can guess that it will probably have all my projects from this semester, which is good because I want future job employers to see my writing, I want that to stand out the most.

    I have used Wix template before when I worked as an intern for the communications department at FSU. As an EWM major I took the intern class and had to compose an e-portfolio displaying all the articles I had written during the time I worked for them. I thought the hardest part of working on Wix was getting all the details fine-tuned because I wanted to make sure the layout was perfect. However, I thought creating an e-portfolio was a lot easier than I thought it was going to be because of the way Wix sets it up for you.

    I think a way I can capitalize on metaphor and metonymy is including them into my projects and my portfolio. What I like about metaphor and metonymy is that they get a message out without too much detail and usually in a thought provoking way. I also think that they make images or collages more interesting and memorable.

    I know that Arola mentioned the importance of layout in the reading. I just want to make sure that my e-portfolio is really nice to look at and more professional looking than amateur. I want future job employers to look at my e-portfolio and think that someone professional did it for me.

  16. I would most likely use Wix for my ePortfolio. I am mostly accustomed with this website creator and I think it would fit me best to show off all of my work from school. I would want to use the ePort for jobs, and kind of as a digital resume, therefore I would want to add some of my best work from my internship, work from my writing and poetry courses, work from my research writing courses, as well as link to other websites I have made in the past. I would want to showcase all of the different things I am capable of.

    I would want to choose a clean and professional background setting for my ePort. I like how Wix offers resume style as well as ePort style formats that you can follow along with. Starting with one of these and morphing the website to your own is unique as well as structured and a good way to show your personality in a professional way.

    I always try to be specific and different when I am writing, always finding synonyms to words so that I am not constantly repeating myself. I think it is important to show a wide vocabulary and to show that you know how to correctly articulate yourself. Using metonymy shows that you know how to sound elegant, while also sounding intelligent and non-repetitive. I think this is important in all writing.

    As I lately have been applying to Graduate schools, I noticed that my "objective" which could also be my "concept statement" changes depending on where I am applying to and for what I am applying. I would struggle with a concept statement broad enough for every position I would be showing my ePorfolio for. How do I decide on what it should be? Is it okay if it changes every time?

  17. I have never worked with Wix or very many computer softwares. I am absolutely awful with technology and so I tend to stay as far as possible from it. I have never made a Portfolio either. I feel sort of lost as to where exactly my Portfolio is going but I am sure that the audience I would like to reach are critics and future job employers. I am really interested in writing for some kind of comedy show (Saturday Night Live for example) so I guess that would apply to as a specific audience. As I have previously mentioned in some of my pieces, Audience is something that should be put first in regards to writing so that will always be the primal thing in my mind when I write something.

    I am really excited to be bringing elements of metaphor and metonymy in my Portfolio. I think that a really great way to capture an audiences attention is to present certain images or small phrases that really get them thinking. For me, I really count on visuals to be "appetizing" and "lure" me into wanting to read a piece. Arola spoke quite a lot about formatting which is extremely important. I want the general lay out of my Portfolio to be easily understood and clear. A Portfolio is supposed to be some sort of physical presentation of oneself (on paper) so I would like mine to present me as an organized, yet interesting individual to my possible future employers.

  19. I hope to attract future internships/ employment through this ePortfolio. I would love to submit and portray my work to recruiters from VICE Entertainment, various record labels, radio stations, and the upright citizens brigade/ 2nd city Improv. The goals are to showcase my writing and editing talents. I have an aesthetic creative process, so in any future web designs or resumes I will have abstract visuals that are not only unique but also pleasing to the eye. I would like to aim for a specific audience that shares my ideas or thoughts. This audience will most likely be an unorthodox type people because I also have that peculiar artistic taste in movies, music, writing, ect. My work, templates if you will, should allow the audience to have a feel of whom I am and what I am trying to accomplish as an artist. I want to audiences to learn that society doesn’t have to have a ‘one way of thinking’ and that thinking outside the box and being weird is cool. When thinking about metonymy or metaphor for this my ePortfolio, I envisioned using various clickable links/ images labeled with my different skills/occupations, and works. I guess my only question would be, “Nick, when the heck are you going to get started?!” but on a serious note, I am looking forward to completing this ePortfolio and using it for my advantage outside of FSU. This project is vital and beneficial, and I think will be a fun yet challenging process.

  20. I have never made an ePortfolio but I love working with Wix so I feel like I’m going to have a lot of fun making it. It works on two plains for me, as I want to get a good grade in this class but also want to appeal to future employers. This past week I visited New York City to start the very long process of job hunting. I went to five different advertising agencies and listened to their talent recruiters talk about my dream job and how to get there through a portfolio. I would like to be a creative for an advertising firm, but this position is challenging to get. Rather than looking for an expert in a field, creatives are selected by the description itself – people that have a very creative mindset. An ideal portfolio that these agencies want to receive isn’t one that’s structurally pleasing and well organized, but one that’s unique and original. So when creating my ePortfolio I’m going to have that mindset. I’m going to display my writing and graphic design work in a way that not only shows the level of skill I have (which is not entirely great), but in a way that you wouldn’t expect. Thankfully Wix leaves a lot of room for me to do this. In the past when I’ve used the site, I’ve been able to essentially create my own template. Wix provides a lot of tools to make that possible. Conversely, there are some limitations to what tools you can use to create your website and tools to display on the website. This can be fixed by paying for a membership but as a college student on a budget that’s not an option I’d entertain. I want my website to be a metaphor for the process taken for each project while keeping it simple enough to make sure the work stands out. I want the website to be an extension of each project rather than a display case for this semester’s work. The only question I have about creating the ePortfolio is what exactly we need to include in it.

  21. In creating my ePortfolio I hope to reach an audience that is directed towards companies looking to hire interns for the marketing departments of their company. What I want my audience to learn about me while viewing my ePortfolio is that I am a very visual individual who has a good eye for design, then after observing the layout of my website I want my audience to be even more blown away by the works I have incorporated into my ePortfolio. My visual components will be simple, clean, and eye catching. I want to incorporate easy colors to look at such as pale pinks, whites, and soft colored texts. My texts will all be of the same type of font and will be placed in visually appealing locations that will attract the eyes of my viewers. A main component I will be including in my ePortfolio will be a menu page across the top in which my audience can click though, I will include an “about” section with my resume. Also in the menu along the top I will incorporate my works, which will be my editing mini project and my mid-semester reflection project. My project two and three will have their own separate section, I chose this because each project is made up of a bunch of information and I do not want to confuse my audience at all.

    The only effect that the Wix templates will have on my composition is going to be which one I decide to pick. I want one that will have simple colors and will be easy to navigate through. Sorapure capitalizes on the difference between metaphor and metonymy. In the case of creating my Wix page I believe that metonymy will take on a much bigger role simply because the criteria of works that must be included on the project is very vast and different. The challenge I will face is to make all the different works intertwine with one another in a clear and effect way to capture my audiences’ attention. I think all of my questions stem around how exactly you use the Wix website in general, but I am sure that all my questions can be answered my classmates or my teacher.
