Journal 8

Most, if not all, of the teams talked about audience and circulation in their presentation. These were such important words when presenting because the projects were mostly centered around them. Most groups created their project for a certain audience and attempted to reach that audience through circulation. Although some groups were unable to circulate their artifacts it was still clear that they intended to if they ever could. I also saw the word design in the projects. Many people designed their artifacts to reflect either the organizations website/logo or to attract a certain audience.

I felt like many teams had similar processes when creating their three texts. Everyone tried to focus mainly on what the organization asked for and what they needed to gather a larger audience. Some organizations need something like their flyer or Facebook page being revamped while others had nothing all together.

I think a huge constraint for everyone was time. Another constraint some groups mentioned was the organization not being responsive enough. It is hard to work with someone who is not responding so I cannot imagine how frustrating that was. Although some groups had constraints, I think that everyone's campaigns were successful.

One thing my group and I could have done differently was circulating our texts. We didn't give ourselves as much time as we wanted to do that. Another thing was our bookmark. We should have designed it differently to resemble a bookmark more. Overall, though, I believe we were very successful.
