Writing for the Web vs. Writing for Print: Are They Really so Different
1. Judy Gregory in her article, “Writing for the Web vs. Writing for Print: Are They Really so Different?” argues that comparisons between two media of writing–print and Web–is not as helpful for writers. Instead, she argues that the actual writing is more similar than different. While you are writing your own pages for your website, explain the extent to which you agree or disagree with Gregory about this issue. Also, explain the extent to which her argument or yours can be applied to social media in its many forms.
2. Rob Houser and Scott Deloach’s “Learning from Games: Seven Principles of Effective Design” was published in 1998, and the concept of “Web page” is now over 20 years old. What has changed with Web pages in that time? To what extent might Houser and Deloach’s design framework still apply to Web design today? Which of their principles might be useful (or not) as you design your Web pages for your social media campaign?
