9. Pinterest App [on phone] V, L, S, G

10. Fit bit [bracelet] V, S, A

All of the items involved some sort of visual and spacial arrangement, as whoever made the object, purposely put certain parts there for a reason. Only the fit bit bracelet and the Icy Breeze breath mints (if you shake them), made noise. None of my items included all modes of communication, and none of them only included one mode. I included gestural on the Pinterest app because the reader can move the objects, and hold down the screen in order to present new findings. The other objects don’t change much when moved. The Fit Bit was the only item to communicate with something other than words. Instead, it buzzes when I have reached a certain number of steps taken throughout the day. The “dots” that show up, are spatially separated from one another to indicate what sort of progress I have made in exercise since the morning.
