Even though I am on my way to completing this project, and I have learned a lot about writing for a social cause, I have run into many problems regarding the socialgo website that have really been frustrating me. The one aspect that I gained from WRT235 and had the greatest impact on me was the importance of aesthetic appeal in technology-based writing. I have not only learned what the meaning and importance of this is but I have also learned techniques to enhance aesthetic appeal and have gotten several opportunities to apply them to my work. Trying to figure out how to best use the applications of the socialgo website has been extremely frustrating. For some reason no matter what format, layout, or color scheme I use, I never quite get what I picture in my head. After several hours of playing around with the website I got it to look somewhat like what I imagined by applying the URI logo “Think Big” as my background and creating a color scheme to go with it. The design portion of this project has defiantly been the most challenging and frustrating element.
As I come close to finishing this project I can defiantly say I took a lot away from it. I learned the way in which technology-based writing acts as a powerful catalyst for social change, and the way in which to go about creating a social networking site. The aspect of this project that I took the most from was learning how to, and attempting to, write with passion and a strong voice that comes through the text in the hopes to ignites passion in an audience, enough passion to prompt action for change.
