For my multimodal web text I chose the topic of tattoo removal and my podcast slideshow was about makeup that hides tattoos. My audience was anyone that has a tattoo that they don’t like or want removed as well as people who just want to cover up their tattoos for special occasions. My purpose was to help people who were confused to figure out what options were available to them. I organized my text by type of removal, starting with the best options and ending with the worst. I did this for my slideshow as well. For the design, I split each topic into paragraphs and included a relevant photo. This made my project easy to read and highly suited for web readers. I labeled each section to make scanning the text quick and easy.
I’m very proud of the fact that it reads well. I spent lots of time on the text portion of my project. I also love my layout. It is highly aesthetically pleasing. I have nice photos that are related to the text that is next to it. If I had more time my web text would have been longer. There were types of tattoo removal that I was not able to include due to this time constraint. I also would have gone into more depth on each of the topics. I also with that I could have taken my own photos for my slideshow. I would have liked to show my readers/listeners how well each product worked.
I wish there were more credible sources available on this subject. I had to use a lot of personal knowledge to write this web text. Everything I found source-wise was somehow product-specific or clinic-specific. There was no unbiased information readily available. This also made it hard for me to find websites for my ‘recommended readings’ section.
