It was like Deja Vu

I had to go back to the Syllabus and make sure I hadn't fallen behind in my reading when I started reading Chapter Four. Turns out that I was on track, even though the information we covered in class went over everything that was in the chapter. It is so much more complicated than it used to me. I have been involved with several small businesses where the writer is the the content strategist, designer, director, business strategists and of course whipping boy. Things were simpler then. You didn't know what your title was or what one segment of the project was called but you knew whose job it was to get it done and make it work. But most of that work was linear and non interactive. With interactive multi-media being the future of communication it really does make sense to know who does what and how team members work together, because I know there is no way I could put a project that requires computer programming and any kind of media together without help.

  1. You think it was simpler when the writer was the content strategist, designer, director, etc? Interesting. I would think the oppostite since having the duties divided would balance out the workload and cause less stress. :)
