The basic definition of text is “A book or other written or printed work, regarded in terms of its content rather than its physical form”. As far as what text means to me, goes beyond that. Text helps us make sense of the world around us. It doesn’t just take place in the classroom either, it could be menus, posters, wall art, stickers, anything that you read, could write, or illustrate and has a meaning behind it. While walking around campus asking myself “What is Text?” I took a few pictures of what I thought some good examples were which was of a wall painted beside Willow Salon, a menu, a dedication picture in the walk way leading to the cistern etc. Text is all around us in art, pictures and words.
