Journal #8

After watching the presentations, each group prioritized one keyword that benefitted their organization. Whether it was design to get people to recognize there message or a t-shirt to circulate, I liked how we were exposed to all of these keywords. Although they interconnected other keywords in the campaign, I did get the sense that one was the umbrella term for the others. One of the process that I noticed was the idea of circulation through participation. Instead of the usual social media posts, some groups actually physically promoted their work by wearing it. One of my goals for this project was to get college students to participate without even having to do too much. I loved how the groups were able to accomplish this. Some of the groups were constrained by their lack of communication with their organization or simply coming up with a design that they all can agree upon. In the end, they used the needs of the organization to create a genre that would successfully circulate and gain recognition. Some of the groups also used networking to even come in contact with the group they worked for. Each group took a different approach to this project which was pretty cool to see. All of the campaigns weren't just to let people be aware of the organization, but to also be a part of it.  After viewing the presentations, I would most definitely think of genre that was unique in a sense. The t-shirt ideas really stuck with me because it could have effectively gotten the word out. Like a group pointed out, most college students wear big shirts to school so it would have been a good idea to exploit our laziness and lack of dressing up for school. It reminds of the time where I would always to Madison social t-shirts being worn on campus. Now, I frequently hang out there. Overall, I thoroughly enjoyed this project, even with its ups and downs. It was a great learning experience that I will forever remember and take on with me when I begin working in my field.
