final map

1.     The word “text” is the most essential because all three terms relate to each other in the context of “text” in itself. Text is the center of everything, always. It’s literally in the center of the heart/triangle for that reason.

2.     I used a pen, a piece of paper, and a highlighter. I don’t like to get extravagant to prove a simple point. Sometimes, but not right now. I’d rather not overthink it and take too long trying to prove a point that’s too hard to prove, which is essentially what happened in my project 1.

3.     I stated in my blog that the three key terms acted like a love triangle, all connected by text, therefore I drew a heart and designed it like a triangle. Even if the audience doesn’t understand what a love triangle is, they would understand that all the terms are connected and that it’s in a shape of a heart. There is no preferred reading path for a reason, since all three terms are connected to text in an equal way. I would hope that the viewer doesn’t misinterpret the points of the heart, but that’s one drawback from using a more metaphorical device instead of a straightforward one like the initial triangle idea. I arranged it without order for the reason of the viewer pulling which word they feel is more important to themselves since I want that personal level of interpretation rather than being guided along a path.

4.     I will probably integrate my theory into the e-portfolio with an about page but without the drawing. I think the drawing is stupid but not even in a brandable stupid that a possible employer would like. It’s just bad. Describing it will make me sound smarter, like on my blog.
