A couple of fun promotional pieces I made for CupcakeCamp KW. Enjoy. (Oh, and if you're from the Kitchener-Waterloo region, or nearby -- yes, that includes you Toronto -- there's no reason for you NOT to be there at CupcakeCamp KW, which is happening September 19. Sign up, okay? It'll be delicious, I promise!)
This is an assignment done recently for class (ENGL 408C: The Rhetoric of Digital Design). The goal was to "Discuss the design of an online newspaper ... Combine the terminology of newspaper design with the observations of social semiotics." I chose theglobeandmail.com mostly because they recently did a redesign — it got mixed reviews (exhibit A, exhibit B, exhibit C, Google the rest yourself!) and from an aesthetic standpoint, I'm not the biggest fan either — which gave me quite a bit to talk about.
