Where does the class intend to post project 2?
Social media: Facebook, Twitter, Instagram, YouTube, Tumblr, Weebly, Blogger
Each place has its own set of values. Author must consider their medium and intention when choosing the site(s) the intend to post to. 

Take into consideration the theories of Porter and Nielsen.

Given examples of Reddit being more "masculine and conservative" while Tumblr is more "queer".

Considering each site:
                           Facebook: shareable, more than alphabetic: image & video, recirculated articles,                                                        relatable (common experience).
                               Blogger/Weebly: alien, unfamiliar, exploratory, relatable (Nielson- his emphasis on                                                               the importance of titles)
                               Twitter: hashtag, humor, witty, retweet, quotes, @name, links, locations
                               Instagram: 1/3’s, selfie culture, good caption, descriptive, clever, concise, 2 lines or                                                    less, hashtags.
                               Tumblr: relatable, visual (gifs)
                               Youtube: good tags, good title, subscribers, descriptions.

+Key wording, describing, upholding conventions+
-must keep in mind the importance of design choices, chosen platform, and the parameters of the  project.
