5 years ago Design Brief - The Digital Variorum of Wordsworth's "Nutting"
Research Question One Can a digital edition interact with users in a meaningful way as they interpret the transmission of a work?
Approach Create a digital flipbook that utilizes hypertextual linking to draw the user into the framework of the story. This approach everts the process of the writer as well as the editor in order to show the sociological complexity of a text, both contemporary and modern.
Research Question Two What are the advantages of doing textual studies work on a public developer platform?
Approach Use a GitHub repo to house and track all components of the edition, actively populate the Issues and Projects boards and Wiki with documentation and status updates, make connections with unintended publics via social media and GitHub Issues boards, and deploy a GitHub pages site integrally linked to project repo.
Audience The intended audiences for my project are scholars, young adults, children, parents, teachers, and professors. See Issue #14 Personas

Quoted from syllabus
A design brief is a short document (from a paragraph to a page) that articulates a problem and a general approach to addressing the problem (it sets the scope of the problem and the solution). In articulating the problem, the design brief highlights the facts of an issue that are most relevant.
