More ds106 Visual Fun

A ds106 assignment that intrigued me was Newspaper Blackout Poetry. It's a three star assignment and that seemed excessive to me, at first. Turns out, it is pretty challenging.

I looked at several articles and tried to plan out some possibilities. I actually wanted to avoid this one because it seemed to serious, too raw, too painful. But in the end it was the one that worked best for me.

Here's the original article:

Here's the poem once I blacked out a bunch of words.
rape
weeping
seething
harrowing
not usual
critical pain

And with that emotional end, I wrap up the visual assignments piece (a tad late, but it's done!).
