Materialities of Writing

I was really looking forward to completing this first paper because of it's medium.  Preparing for this assignment took less time than actually composing it onto the large sheet of paper.  I was happy to have lots on table space, and I was extra cautious.  If I answered the prompt differently at all, it would be in the length of my essay.  I prefer to fill my paper with as many thoughts as I can link to the topic, but I had different space requirements that I had to keep in mind.  I knew that I wanted my draft to have a colorful appearance, so I arranged my paper to be blue, purple, green, and dark pink.  I did every three lines each of the "cool colors" and the words that stuck out to me in pink.  I also created a margin ad drew lines to write on so that my words wouldn't get crooked.  The writing actually did become uncomfortable near the end, and my handwriting probably shows that.  This project was very interesting though, and it was great to see everyones work hanging on the wall as art.
