Topic: Choose a 3-4 page
assignment you have recently written for another class at Villanova and
turn it into a "hypertext" following these guidelines:
-
The Homepage: Create a well-designed homepage for the repurposed text which follows CRAPP
principles, has a strong visual focal point and several graphic elements
which you create using Photoshop. Many of these elements will be
repeated on other pages linked to this homepage. The homepage should
contain a a very short textual introduction to the repurposing assignment.
The homepage should be no bigger/longer than one screen = 800 X 600 pixels.
-
Create at least
6 links
from this homepage, 1 to your repurposed text illustrated with graphics, 3
to original web pages and 2 links to outside sources.
Instructions for repurposed hypertext page:
Instructions for the three
original web pages
These pages will repeat many of the elements you
established in the homepage for this assignment. The pages can be quite
basic, but each should illustrate a different hypertextual purpose.
- One page must be a 200 word analysis in two paragraphs: one paragraph which
describes what in the original text is lost in hypertext repurposing;
the other should describe what is gained. Remember to avoid large
chunks of non-illustrated text.
Here are some ideas
for your pages (yours) or links (outside this assignment) just in case you need them:
- Informative
links about some aspect of your paper--your own and/or others' words (50 words, if they are yours, are
enough)
- A purely
visual/graphic expression of an idea/statement in the original text--probably
best with a caption of some kind.
- A page which
relates your personal life to the original text in some way
- Your own poem or
short prose fiction (one paragraph--50 words) related to the text
- Someone else's
poem or short prose fiction or flash art related to the text

Caution: It's generally not a good idea to mix photos and
cartoonish drawings. |
