Topic: Multimodal Projects

    There are several different ways to create a multimodal project. However, there are also specific things to consider when creating one. There are different parts to a multimodal structure: visual, audio, gestural, spatial, and linguistic; depending on what type of multimodal you consider doing will help to determine which parts you should look into the most (obviously you want to use a bit of all, right?). 

    When I say visual, I think everyone thinks of pictures or images shown, but visuals is so much more than that! It also includes backgrounds, color, transition, and more. I think everyone can get what audio is, the noise included in the project. Gestural is on what the person presenting (however they present) behaves and what they do throughout. A lot of good presentations have gestures but it is knowing when and where to use them that can make a presentation good or bad. Spatial is about line spacing, sizes, alignment and more. Linguistic is about how things are worded. All of these factors play into a multimodal project and each is as important as the other.
