HYPOTHESIS: if one takes poetry out of its normal environment and into another, it changes the meaning.
WHAT I DID: played around in poem snippet layout in Illustrator. chose the best layouts + printed out on textured resume paper. then overlapped cut print outs in various order on a light table + took photographs.
OUTCOME: taking the poetry out of its normal environment did in fact add more emphasis to the words, based on focus, placement and treatment. I should experiment more with more lines from the specific poems, if I want to use this way to express a full writing. small tests are nice, but won't fully know the impact until I play around with all the text. does then the full writing go into full poetry form? do I format differently for paragraphs of text, as I did for lines of poetry?
NEXT EXPERIMENT: try more in-depth the form below in both a hybrid piece & in an all poetry piece. was choosing verbs, the best for the pieces? or should it be more important words, specific to the line/stanza?

feedback from class.
*think about different brands of resume paper/paper in general
*make sure that I record specific changes in push/layout when photographing
*get people to understand my message in pieces that I am feeling/trying to get them to understand
*make text larger (i.e. print larger or have larger scale digital)
next step.
*work with one written piece
*work with larger scale size final
*test different papers
