\"\"Find a link to Andrew Shedden\u2019s Mode Bending<\/a> task.<\/p>\n

Andrew and I approached this task quite differently.\u00a0 Andrew wrote and produced an actual song, while I recorded a playlist that represented a redesign of our week 1 assignment.\u00a0 As indicated in the New London Group\u2019s publication on multiliteracies we learned that music, sound effects, voice, etc. are elements that constitute audio design, which is probably what lead both of us to create the redesigned tasks as we did.<\/p>\n

For this specific task, Andrew recorded his song using the following equipment: Fostex and Shure Beta 58 microphones, ART Pro MPA II Mic Preamp, ART Pro VLA Compressor, RME Fireface 800, Presonus ERIS monitors, Grado SR325 headphones, Gibson J-45, and Epiphone EB-0.\u00a0 Myself, on the other hand, do not have access to recording equipment.\u00a0 I simply recorded my playlist using Apple Music, my Dell Inspiron laptop and freeware recording software, Audacity.\u00a0 Andrew produced a far superior recording in comparison to my own.\u00a0 I certainly could use some more training on recording and producing audio files.<\/p>\n

In comparing, web authoring tools, Andrew and I are both using WordPress as a web authoring tool for this class.\u00a0 However, Andrew uses the theme Andres Nor\u00e9n and I use the theme WPshoppe.\u00a0 I like the styling options of Andrew\u2019s theme and I think that the end-user interface is intuitive and visually appealing.<\/p>\n

When you go to Andrew\u2019s homepage his blog posts are listed in grid with the title of the post, there is no image, but you can see the first few words of Andrew\u2019s post and a date that the post was published.\u00a0 Once you click on a specific post, you can click the left arrow to go to the previous post or the right arrow to go to the next post.\u00a0 Andrew also titles each of his posts with the task number and title, which allows his classmates to easily find his specific posts for each task; each of my titles for my posts are unique to my piece of writing and do not include a task number.\u00a0 Both of our web spaces are similar in that you land on my homepage and my blog posts are listed chronologically.\u00a0 When you click on a specific post, you can also click on the previous post and the next post at the bottom of the page.\u00a0 I think that Andrew\u2019s webspace is intuitive and easy to navigate.<\/p>\n
