Kress

Kress states that multimodal is like a literary text that uses objects. He states that multimodal is not bound to text or voice, but can use 3-d objects or 3-d representations that can express whatever purpose you have.

The whole reading is somewhat confusing. From class I know what a multimodal argument is. Basically you told us that it's anything that uses multiple strategies to engage the viewer. Like a website uses the organization abilities of using buttons, as well as the color coordinating and themes one can express within that arena of media. An interactive video would be multimodal, as well as a hands on experiment that proves a point. It is anything that is not linear I guess.

The beginning is the most confusing. As I read on and he used examples things began to make more sense. Class also helped a lot.
