Today's Class: January 28th and the hidden link. *View on Computer*

   How you present something is just as important as what you present, today's design class taught us that. Giving the plot away in the very first sentence is a blog spoiler but this time I needed a way to move it along and get the story going.

   Narratives have an unique way of presenting information, it’s the writer’s opportunity to come across as any number of ways depending on the media to be displayed, be it music, literature, conferences and much more, the way the author chooses to display this information is determined by the audience as much as the content. 

   Graphic narratives, which was the professor's presentation title, talked about what happens when narratives get creative, what happens when the very language of the narrative becomes part of itself? In architecture, like many other branches of study (music and science for example) the narrative not only displays information, but becomes part of the information, the arrangement chosen is crucial to the understanding and acceptance of the presentation or information being shared.  

   Graphic narratives can include video presentations, diagrams, graphs or any media that makes communicating your idea easier and more understandable. In the case of this entry i chose to utilize my narrative as a mini scavenger hunt, not necessarily making the information obviously accessible but demonstrating how versatile a narrative can be.
