I definitely believe that this website falls into the category of composition, although not traditional composition. The website is a collection bunch of different stories, some interactive, other's not. One is just a bunch of words with changing colors and movement to emphasize other words. Another is a story about a girl named Alice, which is somewhat interactive. These are compositions, different from what we usually see, but I think they are more interesting. I am more likely to sit and look through all of those compositions than read books assigned for class. I read a lot for pleasure, but I hate being forced to read boring books; whereas these multimedia compositions are generally more interesting than The Grapes of Wrath (sorry if you like that book). I honestly think that in the future more classes will be taught implementing multimedia composition. It will be a way for people to learn composition through technology which is becoming a bigger part of our lives each day. I would personally rather do a multimedia project than a paper, or have a homework assignment on typography instead of reading. But that’s just me, and I know a lot of people would rather stick to the traditional forms of composition. I also think it’s rather interesting to see all sorts of different techniques, sort of like abstract art, in viewing all of these compositions. It’s not just pen to paper, printer ink to paper, now it encompasses moviemaker, power points, paint, and other creative outlets. I love creativity and I would like to see more of it incorporated into the school system, rather than all be expected to perform the same on SATs and similar tests.
