Four Conventions of a Blog
Website
How does your blog construct and communicate meanings through close
analysis of the interaction of media language and audience responses? (Think about the purpose and target audience.)
•
What is purpose of the blog and
how did you use media language (Design, arrangement and content)?
•
How does my blog engage my target audience? How do you want
your audience to respond to your blog.
|
|
1. Home Page
|
6. The importance of the homepage is to communicate and engage with
my audience. For instance, in my home page the grader will be able to see
how I express myself and some of my interest. With the help of my home page
tool, my audience will find it easier to navigate through my work.
7. The media language I used to engage my
audience are color, image and fronts.
|
|
2. Design: Design template design and
arrangement, colors, font (style, color and size), and background image.
|
8. The design template I used is
called Travel studio, I use that template because it very accessible and easy
to make adjustment to while staying organize. In addition, I like the idea
of traveling because it brings new opportunities, and express freedom.
9. The colors I chose are blue/cyan blue, purple and white because it helps match
the energy of background, while representing my personalities. Just like
how purple represent creativity and sensitivity, meanwhile blue represent
dedication, calm and infinite possibilities. Together they create a well
balance view.
10. By choosing lobster, time new roman, Hanuman and courier font, it
makes it easier for my audience to visualize the written word. Not only
that they are visible, but they help my blogs look creative and formal at
most.
11. The background image, I selected was influenced by my interest on
anime and adventures. The tv show animation of Pokémon was all about fun
adventure solving mysterious problem. Not only that but it was also about
building friendship. I find it relatable to use since I love making new
friend it always a fun opportunity plus it help us live with some reliable
and trust ones.
