On Thursday we set up 5 of our documents and our 100 word Gravitational Pull statement. We then walked around the class and wrote down feedback for everyone else’s work. I really liked this exercise because the feedback I got was not only helpful in moving forward but it also made me confident in my approach. I liked the anonymity of the exercise because it allows everyone to give straightforward feedback. I also gained a lot from really looking into and exploring others work because I was able to get new ideas and approaches to my own work. Below is a picture of my 5 documents and the feedback I got.
My documents were displayed to show structure and rigidness. I carefully considered the display of my gravitational pull statement and decided the best way to express my ideas through it was to have the text not confined to a box. Even with this, I noticed that the the text was still confined to a structure. When working in Microsoft Word, the text acts like a liquid – forming to the shape of its container.
I have since experimented with some new documentation techniques. Below are 3 visual/audio documents of the crossing.
