This is the first time I have ever attempted to do a poster to communicate my scholarship, no less, a digital poster. I thoroughly enjoyed the experience. Not surprisingly, given my rootedness in print text, I started with print text. I pull some from my desktop some text I had written awhile ago that describes a book I am editing that is almost on its way to the publisher. The book is about a missing chapter in currently available histories of the field of composition studies. I wanted to make a brief description of the book into a poster. With the text that describes composition histories and the one I am editing in mind, I thought I'd incorporate pictures of the books jackets of the already published books and photos of the authors who are writing for the book I'm editing. With lots of time, I'd also include voice clips of readings from the books (couple of sentences each) and from the essays in my book to demonstrate the differences in the works.

Time's up.
