Assignment for Thursday

Constructing Identity
All the people listed below are authors of pieces we have read for class or authors I have mentioned in class. Choose two authors and explore their web sites.
Pay particular attention to how they construct, represent, and assert identity on their sites, paying specific attention to how they visually construct their identities (e.g., through graphics and photographs, with the use of particular colors or font faces).
Be ready to share the sites and to talk about the visual identity-construction work the author(s) have done.
