More Presentations

Jess and Bianca presented their powerpoint and reading overviews to the class today.

Jess based herpresentation on Kress, G & van Leeuwen, TV, 2006, Reading images: The grammar of visual design, 2nd edn, Routledge, London. Her complimentary reading was
Martinec, R & van Leeuwen, TV 2009, The language of new media design, Routledge, Oxford.

Alternatively, Bianca's presentation was on and Bruns, A. (2008). Blogs, Wikipedia, Second life, and Beyond : from production to produsage. New York: Peter Lang.

I found both of these presentations very informative. Both were quite complex subjects but the girls did very well simplifying them and explaning them in an easy-to-understand format. Particularly Jess, who used plenty of examples throughought and also a great break down chart. Unfortunately, I found that I was deistratcted in parts during Bianca's presentation by her inability to pronunce some words and her cluttered slides.
