comm theory // documenting communication // 4.22

in-class
desk crits on process examples and annotations

exploring options
approach various ways to address the digital annotations in your process example. the design should be informative, clear, engaging, and visually consistent with the larger visual approach to your website.
• 5 iterations, minimum
• select one step with the most complex annotation to use as a sample for your iterations
• design the iterations to fit within your existing webpage layout
• sketches posted to blog by end of class

overall “communication theory” web page requirements
• visual(s) of your personal model (this may be re-colored or re-designed slightly to fit in with your overall webpage design if you so desire)
• annotated process example of how your theory plays out in real life (mentioned above).

homework
digital annotations
• select ONE direction from the in-class exploratory exercise.

• work out multiple fairly detailed sketches of your “communication theory” page on your website. include the above mentioned required content.

• your process example must correctly identify at least 1 communicator A/B (or sender/receiver), channel, message, noise, feedback, context.

• identify/break-down contextual factors using emmert/donaghy's 3 parts to processing (the communicator's perception > reasoning > motivation). refer to the davis reading for details on what these mean if you need help.

• identify/break-down noise using shannon/weaver's 3 levels of problems (technical, semantic, effectiveness) as mentioned in the "visual communication" reading
