Key Questions for Considering the Six Dimensions for Project Design

• What digital / Internet means do those I desire to communicate with have available to them? Or, use?

• What do I know about how my audience is engaged with the digital culture to learn new information?

• How is engagement / involvement within the digital culture changing me, or people today?

•What do I know about how people relate online? How could the project I design raise the consciousness of my viewers to respecting the dignity of ‘all people’?

•How familiar am I with the Church’s teaching and the Scriptures? How will I include these into my project design to stimulate the religious imagination of my audience – to respond?

• How is my audiences engagement inside the digital culture shifting how they think, make decisions and process information? How does my message address this shift via images, sound, symbols and narration?
