instructions Note: Because this assignment is not a traditional written assignment, expect to spend more time than usual on planning, strategy, and layout/design. Like in Module 1 Assignment, you are once again creating a multimodal document reflecting a genre of your choice. Remember, genres in rhetoric are created in response to a recurring rhetorical situation and thus reflecting a typified response to that situation. This means that there are many genres used to communicate, such as airline boarding passes, recipes, store receipts, passports, restaurant menus, course syllabi, college application forms, drug prescription information flyer, to name a few. For this assignment, choose one genre existing already and redesign it DRASTICALLY enough to make it more effective for its audience. Your goal is to SUBSTANTIALLY improve its functionality (ease of use, readability, accessibility, clarity of message) based on the audience for whom it is designed. Present your new and VASTLY improved version in a multimodal document along with annotations explaining how the choices you made improve the audience experience or further the purpose of the genre. 1. Decide which genre you will improve for this assignment. Make a list of the changes you will be making to this genre. 2. Decide the look, design, and platform (brochure, bookmark, flyer) for your document. - What app works best for designing the kind of document you're making? Is there a template available that can save you the trouble of designing the layout of the page? (Hint: Windows users might consider MS Publisher, and Mac users might consider Apple's Pages. Each of those apps has plenty of available, creative templates to get you started.) What color scheme, font, graphics make sense for what you are trying to do? - How can you share things you make in that app? (Hint: most apps can export or print to PDF.) 3. Decide what content goes where. - What does the audience of this genre expect from it? - What content does it already have that needs to be improved; what content is missing in the original version, but will be supplied in your improved one? 4. Write and design your content and build your document. 5. Annotate your final document, justifying or explaining the choices you made in it by providing at least 8-10 separate annotations. 6. Upload your document with the title of the genre you chose for it: bookmark, flyer, poster, brochure, card, booklet
