Cover Designs

I've attached a sequence of images (in a PDF file) that show iterations of The Terministic Screen cover . . .

Computers and Writing Photo Collections

I'm collecting images to use for a retrospective photo gallery of past Computers and Writing Conferences, so I thought I would post that work here, in case someone else wants to make this a "small project."

Here's the drop.io site: http://drop.io/cwphotos

The C&W 2010 site collects a lot of links to off-site galleries:

Animoto Workshop

Here are a couple of Animotos to check out. You don't have to watch them all the way through to get the idea.

Watch the new PW Animoto!

Introductions | English 680s: Digital Rhetoric and Design Studio

Welcome to English 680S!

So that we can get to know each other a little better, please post a reply to this message in which you

  • describe where you are from
  • give your course of study and year in the graduate program
  • talk about your areas of specialization and career goals
  • tell what you would like to get out of this course
  • share at least one thing personal about yourself (a hobby, your favorite sport, a favorite activity, etc.)

I'll start. I've lived in West Lafayette since 2000, when I first came to Purdue. I was promoted to full professor in 2006. My areas of specialization include professional writing, rhetorical theory, digital media, print publishing, and film. In 2002 I founded Parlor Press, an independent scholarly publisher. I'm also involved with Purdue's Entrepreneurial Leadership Academy, a program of the Burton Morgan Center in Discovery Park.

My favorite sports are golf and baseball, but I spend most of my free time playing with new gadgets, including my twins.
