Transcript for audio: Digital writing is a term that is becoming prominent in today’s internet age yet many people do not know what it means. Digital writing is simply writing for or using an electronic medium to post writing. Since, writing was developed its goal has been to spread information to as many people as possible. Hence, with the internet currently being the most effective method of reaching a large audience writers have obviously chosen this medium to reach more people than they would through other mediums.

I think the image is fine the way it is but I would like to edit it to fit the YouTube screen with no negative space so it will be more rectangular than square while not generating a fuzzy effect. I also think a simple light filter to make the image slightly darker will make it easier to read along with making the red stand out against the bright yellow background. By making the image slightly darker the rough yellow will also become easier on the eyes making the image flow together better. The original image chose the bright yellow to contrast the other colors and stand out. I feel the bright yellow is too distracting and makes the word hard to read hence I will be correcting that.
What I Plan To Do: I have read a few tutorials on how to get the annoying buzzing feedback gone but none of them seem to work I’m hoping that I might be able to record better audio in class with a better mic. I plan on keeping straight forward with my definition and doing what I explained above. The reason I want to do this is simple it meets the project requirements but more importantly I feel it is an effective way to explain digital writing.
