Argument Claim

My claim is that mmorpg's are much more helpful than detrimental to oneself. MMORPG's bring many like minded people together in an environment where they can live out fantasies, socialize, and interact with each other on a daily basis. Playing mmorpg's one can meet people from all over the world speaking many languages, and with translators understand people who sleapk other languages.

Mulitmodal Report

the mulitmodal report was a different report. Yet, at the same time it was very familiar. I have worked with all the aspects of the report before. Before though I had just worked on them separately. It was definitely something new and a little difficult to learn how to take what I already knew prior projects that only focused on a single media and mash them all together into one cohesive manner to complete the mulitmodal report.

I feel my audience is the typical audience of my peers. The purpose of the project was to inform people about mmorpg's through various forms of media combined into one solid report. I feel my design was simplistic. I am not graphic artist and lack talents to make anything much more complex than what I have already produced. Organization for the most part on my part seemed adequate. I realized in a portions throughout creating the report that I had things going in mismatched ways. Through some trial and error I was able to make it look and read organized.

I am oddly most proud of my system of links at the bottom of each page that allow one to link to other parts of the report. It gave me the least trouble and came out perfect right on the first try.
If I had more time I would have probably worked to make the general design a little better. It would take hours of trial and error for my novice graphic arts skills. The report in a graphcial art sense I would like to make better had I the skill.

Research for the report was fairly difficult. There weren't many articles on my topic that were of only a several page nature most of the articles were at least 10 pages. This led me to sifting through numerous articles trying to see if it had any relevance. Then sifting through the entire text for a line or two to use for an in text citation.
