@rspicer can i fact check if the president is elected for 3 or 4 years?

[Rachel Hicks @rjhicks20]

@bmutt46 i really like the changes you made! is there any way you can make the tweet in the report easier to see... maybe larger? love the color scheme! #engl318mu

[Rachel Hicks @rjhicks20]

@npfannen are we including one tweet in the reflection that represents week 14 and finals week? or one tweet from each week? #engl318mu

[Rachel Hicks @rjhicks20]

@Alicia35808214 i used canva! it's a free design software that is sort of like indesign but is much more user friendly to someone like me who has little experience with design programs #engl318mu

[Rachel Hicks @rjhicks20]

does my overview of LOHF goals make sense in the context of this report? #engl318mu

[Rachel Hicks @rjhicks20]

@english_mbryce i plan on doing the same thing! my key points will go on the slide and i'll explain them in detail in my voice-over. i'll use the pages of my report as headers in the presentation and use the visuals i create as the content #engl318mu

[Rachel Hicks @rjhicks20]

@JoannaBarninge1 i need to focus on the connections as well! in my first paper, i isolated the key concepts in body paragraphs and didn't relate them as much as i could have. #engl318mu

[Rachel Hicks @rjhicks20]

@KatieWe53788347 i like the contrast of the yellow and dark blue! it might be easier to read the labels if the font color was lighter? i would probably change it to white! also, maybe title the graph so the reader knows the purpose immediately? #engl318mu

[Rachel Hicks @rjhicks20]

my plan for developing the web analysis presentation is finishing my report and highlighting the important aspects/key points on a powerpoint #engl318mu

[Rachel Hicks @rjhicks20]

@JoannaBarninge1 @GroftAlexa i love canva!! i'm using it to design my entire report--i think it's much more user-friendly than word and gives templates/design ideas. #engl318mu

[Rachel Hicks @rjhicks20]

@lea_web instead of just captioning the image "photo", you could provide a little more context? Also, maybe put a boarder around the visual--i couldn't tell at first if the header at the top was your writing or attached to the visual. hope this helps! #engl318mu

[Rachel Hicks @rjhicks20]

if i added a table of contents to this page, would the page look too cluttered or text-heavy? should i make a whole table of contents page? i'm open to any other suggestions as well :) #engl318mu

[Rachel Hicks @rjhicks20]

@Mikie53585867 becasue you have so much white space, maybe consider making the font larger? i would suggest tightening the space between the sections/numbers in your table of contents so it's easier to read. i like the layout though! #engl318mu

[Rachel Hicks @rjhicks20]

@Alicia35808214 Maybe create a pie chart that shows the amount of posts that contain text? Maybe add screencaps of the most "successful" posts and explain why you think they worked so well? I am also working on creating graphics from a chart... let me know what you decide!! #engl318mu

[Rachel Hicks @rjhicks20]

my draft of the LOHF project was not designed at all... the first thing on my revision list is transitioning my lists and paragraphs of text into a report that is well designed #engl318mu

[Rachel Hicks @rjhicks20]

any suggestions on how to make our wording more concise? or anything else? #engl318mu

[Rachel Hicks @rjhicks20]

@CMurgEngl318mu this looks nice! could you embed the link instead of putting it in parentheses? then your writing will be more seamless! Also, is there any way you could separate your bullets a little more? A block of text is intimidating to a reader #engl318mu

[Rachel Hicks @rjhicks20]

is our intro effective? should we add or remove anything? #engl318mu

[Rachel Hicks @rjhicks20]

@villemadison @beard_skylar the graphics look really pretty!! but i think if i was a nonprofit looking for social media tips, i'd want more real-life examples so i could see how your ideas work in application #engl318mu
