Digital Accessibility and Future Ideas

I think my best digital story was the one I had the most trouble in being the Web 2.0 hack. It took me quite a while to come up with the idea and some time to craft it into what I wanted. I think this story does achieve digital accessibility in a few ways such as lists and alternative text for instance. The story itself is a poem and that in itself I feel is a type of list. It is quick and easy to read and also looks more visually appealing rather than putting all the text together. A few images are accompanying the poem and are given text to describe what it is as well. The type of media my story was made to entertain and educate a little utilizing the aesthetic of a review on "Trip Advisor". It was a literary work that utilized maps and images. I remember learning about digital accessibility in a digital class which is the other half of this blog. I have kind of forgotten about it until now and how simple alternate text on an image can be very helpful and applying these kind of things overall allows the writer to reach a much larger audience.

I will say while considering my past stories for this class I do wanna switch gears a bit for this final project and already have a pretty solid idea of what I wish to do. While it has not really been apart of my Writing For Digital Media section of the blog I wanna do something that focuses on the fictional creations from the author H. P. Lovecraft. The main theme of my blog originally derived from that subject and I would like to try to bring that them into this class as well.
