Emily Lesk’s visuals and media

Emily Lesk originally planned to include an early Coke ad or the original Coca-Cola Santa Claus in her draft. Since she was planning to post her essay on a class Web site that was open to the public, her instructor told her that she would need to obtain permission for these images, which proved difficult to do on her deadline. As a result, she looked for other images. Emily’s peer reviewers had also wanted to see her T-shirt, so she took a photo of that for use in her text. She also decided to include live links to some of her Web sources in the version of the essay she posted online.
