Reflection




From the findings of researching on the publications and design, overall the build up of a blog is fun and interesting. It is not easy to build up a blog, Alex (2008-2009) mentioned that is the key factor to keep d blog on the run is to have the consistency to write about the contents and keeping up with the latest trend to write on the newest news are also equally important.

There are man different types of blogs around the blogging era, but the most preferable blog I would choose is the blogs that have the mixture of pictures and words together. Interplay of words and pictures are the best sequence besides then video blog (vlog). Both Shriver (2007) and Kress & van Leeuwen (2006) agrees that the words complement the pictures by explaining what the picture means and the picture is to give readers a visual impaction for them to visualize.
