I like your summary of the article... it sums everything up very nicely. I also agree that his writing style and use of visuals make the article easier to understand. The simple yet informative tone is very efficient.
ReplyDeleteGreat summary of this article. It really was straight to the point. You explained the visuals elements very well. I also agree the article was catered towards younger people who use communication on the web as well as those who work in online communications.
ReplyDeleteIf it's geared towards teenagers and young adults but best suited for those with a higher education is that Atwood's oversight or yours? Very good analytical process otherwise *high five*
