Do
- A1c :: Step Three:
1)Begin visualizing your analog communications:
Document your analog communications for a 24 hour time period. How do you communicate to drivers and bikers when crossing the street on foot, when ordering coffee in a busy shop, or late at night in a rough neighborhood. Consider vocal and non vocal communications. You may use the categories/ metadata that you used for your digital observations, but please also add new ones. Observe and make notes regarding how the categories change between A1a and A1c. Once the observations have been noted and your 24 hours of observations are complete, begin to visualize your analog communications. Use your observational notes as a starting point and visualize three of your metadata categories. Use any design or programming environment familiar to you.
Zip up files and label A1c_lastname_firstname.zip -- upload to course google drive folder.
2) Post your observations to the course blog regarding how the categories and the communications change between A1a and A1c. What surprises you about these observations?
Please note your midterm grade is contingent on all work, A1a through A1c, as well as all blog posts being submitted by Monday March 09
