What I find so fascinating about this whole project is that you ran with the idea of presenting information in an unusual way and then presented your findings in an unusual way! I love the idea of using a comic book format to present ideas. This reminds me of an article by Scott McCloud that he does in comic book format as well. He says that when a cartoon or an idea has a face, but not a specific or detailed face, people are more inclined to be connected to it. I feel that presenting this conference in a way that both gives it a face and limits the detail we see of that face allows us as readers to better connect to the material.
It is interesting how just by listening to a song, the individual has a specific experience and connection. Then just by adding a picture or video to that particular song it adjusts and transforms that experience instantly. Showing the different reactions to a song/video and then a compare them to reactions to the same information with something additional, such as adding the lyrics would certainly be interesting to see the contrast. People definitely learn using different tactics and presenting the material in multiple variations would be beneficial. It allows the students or readers to display their strengths and also the views that they each have.
