Sharing Digital Texts NR

 After reviewing various electronic literature genres I’ve decided that one typically sticks out to me. The specific digital tool that I want to look at uses photos and videos to create a story. In order to incorporate all these different options for my final project in electronic literature, I would like to focus on the software known as ThingLink. I am familiar with this software which will allow me to focus on my writing skills for this assignment which I hope to strengthen. I have come to the realization that I appreciate works that physically engage the reader and relay on them to navigate different modes. By using ThingkLink I will have my users navigating through my photo to view different options that are provided. I want the readers of my work to leave either with knowledge on the creator or favoriting my writing story. For my final project I want to create a cooking section that links each spice on a shelf or ingredient to a recipe and the importance of that meal or memory. Through this cooking Thinglink the reader will learn more about myself as well as my family with every click. I was inspired to do this project from the book Crying in H Mart by Michelle Zauner. This memoir does a great job at bringing food and culture together to tell a story which is the direction I would like to take for my project. As I was browsing ThingLink I found an example called New Twists on Classic Pies that showcases pies and discusses the recipe as well as tutorial videos! This example is what I will be basing my project off of as well as adding some video and sound footage. I hope to make the layout appear as a cooking magazine cover! I found this to example to be helpful and sweet. This project will allow me to move my family recipes onto one platform, so that I’d be easier to find!
