Chapter Activity 13

 

    In regards to my final project, I have found different clips and articles that include different perspectives of the Jeen-Yuhs documentary which provides insight on how The College Dropout is viewed in the modern day. I have put together a description of a handful of songs from The College Dropout to discuss how their cultural significance at the time contributes to the modern day. I have also put together a series of questions that includes: How does Jeen-Yuhs documentary impact the listening experience of The College Dropout? How did The College Dropout ultimately contribute to bridging hip hop to mainstream culture? How does The College Dropout reflect certain characteristics of Kanye West' that led him to be successful?  How have these characteristics influenced other artists to take similar paths? Why were some of his songs such as "All Falls Down" originally looked over? What was the significance of the narrative of The College Dropout? The chapter activities have helped me find multimedia sources that are relatable to the Jeen-Yuhs documentary and also helped me consider how those mediums contribute to viewing different dimensions of "The College Dropout". I still need to start layering links and including infographics and quotes as well as address the ethical and legal implications of copyrighted sources. In addition, I could also include interactive story features such as hashtags. I also need to include more images and adjust the layout and formatting to make navigation and scan-ability more convenient for readers. In addition, I really need to start adjusting the style and pay more attention to my writing voice by adapting to the role of my organization.
