Digital Media-specific questions to consider as you brainstorm for your U-Pick paper.

• What do you think is the purpose of the media text/interface you have chosen to explore? Who do you think it is directed at? What mood does it create? How does it address or construct its audience? (As a participant? A consumer? A passive viewer? A “viewser”?)
• What meanings or values are communicated by your text?
• What protocols can you identify? Who created those protocols?
• Is your example a result of people using a digital interface as intended? If not, then how are people resisting or overcoming the limits of the interface or digital tools?
• Does your chosen example compare to another example of digital media we’ve studied in class or in the readings, and if so, how is it similar and how is it different? What are the implications of those similarities/differences?
