Check out Petro’s Task 7 here.

As a redesign of his initial task, Petro decided to describe the contents of his bag using nouns only, in audio format, alongside a visual written list of the nouns. 

Petro’s redesign of his first task was quite concise in comparison to mine, yet I found both to be effective in their own ways. I chose to link Petro’s task because of the contrasting approaches we took to it, really emphasizing the variety and importance of interpretation when it comes to design. Recalling the first task, it asked us to show a picture of the contents of our daily bag (visual), and reflect on some questions to further describe the items in our bag (written/linguistic). To change the semiotic mode is to change the way in which it is presented, and Petro chose to use an audio and written/linguistic multi-modal approach in his redesign. In comparison, I used an audio/visual/gestural multi-modal approach by filming myself going through my bag. Although the two approaches are different, they both inform the reader what exists in our bag and offer many ways  to access the information.
