  1. Thank you Gerald for attempting this exercise. I agree with the formats selected as well as the fact that you chose a poster. You could have selected the blog as well since you decided to transform it into a poster. The idea was to engage critically with the chosen formats and then transform them into something else.
    Your poster could contain content from the blog to make it complete.
    Which format is transformed into a pocast?
