"English Studies ... still privilege[s] the Word as its preferred mode of
performance, and linear argument as its preferred form. For this to change,
more scholars must move beyond critical verbal analysis of visual texts and
become active architects of intellectually engaged (and engaging) multimediated
visual rhetoric. Until we and our students see ourselves as producers rather
than just consumers of visual rhetoric, we are ceding the authority to speak
and intervene in an increasingly mediated world" (Delagrange 11).

Before I embark on my big creation (a Wordpress site for my AP English class), I wanted to practice being a thoughtful producer of digital design who would make Susan Delagrange proud.
