Design in FYC?
A terrible-looking presentation forced me to confront the fact that I don't know how to teach my students about how their work looks.
- I asked the question on Twitter
- I should have asked #FYCchat, but anyway...
@readywriting What platform is this? I usually have a discussion about good design/bad design, & ask students to bring examples of each
@readywriting I have looked at persuasive websites around controversial isses to talk about how color choices influence design choices.- @readywriting Finally I grab a few essays from Heller's collection in Design Literacy to talk about influence on design and message
- @readywriting Heh. Maybe show them this, for starters, in the future? http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=lpvgfmEU2Ck
@readywriting we look at lots of examples and I have Ss critique each for good/bad design then we create a list of criteria for good design
RT @readywriting: Students need classes (or at least one class) in design and aesthetics. Man, this is a great, but ugly presentation.- Please feel free to add suggestions or @ me on Twitter (readywriting). I'll be updating this Storify as I get suggestions.
