Week 1

Assignment:
-The purpose of this assignment is to set up a blog.

Craft:
-In order to set up a blog I needed a gmail account, thus the first thing that I did was create a gmail account. After verifying that the account was active I proceeded to pick a photo that I can add onto my blog. I wanted a photo of myself that would tell the audience something about me. After the final choice was made on the photo I logged on onto www.blogger.com to set up a blog. Using my gmail account I logged in and followed the instructions that were displayed. First created a name that I wanted to appear, created a blog title, and typed in the appropriate blog address. Picking the template was important because it says something about my character. This was the last step in setting up my blog; now I am ready to blog and share my ideas for other to see.

Composition:
-I chose this photo because it tells the audience something about me. At the center of this picture and the biggest object in this photo is a car. Learning about cars and working on cars is a hobby of mine, but this photo does not stop there. It also reveals that I am a family person and love to spend time with my family.

-Picking the template for my blog was important or at least I felt that way because it displays something about me; it is part of first impression. I believe that this layout and the color of the template clearly show that I have a calm and laid back personality. The color is calm; it is not bright so it is easy to look at the screen without hurting ones eyes making reading the blog pleasurable. The center piece of this template has a feel of an antique document because of the discoloration around the edges thus providing a feeling that whatever is on display is unique, and since we all have different and unique opinions and ideas I felt that it was appropriate to choose this type of template.

Concept:
-What makes me so good is the idea that has been instilled in me as I was growing up. I was told to never give up, thus I have the will to learn and open to suggestions for improvement.
