Reflection

Less than 4 months, I have post at least 9 blog posts with different topic. As for over all, I have learned a lot about the media issue, blogging, and design for web print. For me, blogging is interesting and challenging. I could express my idea and argue about any issue that I think I don't like. Bloggers have the freedom of speech on communicating towards the viewer yet they also have the code of ethics. According to Dube, J 2007, Bloggers should be honest and fair in gathering, reporting and interpreting information. They also must respect towards sources and subjects as human beings. Therefore, in each of blog post that I wrote, I have given references list to respect and give credits towards the sources that I took.

Moreover, by adopting Morkes, J and Nielsen J (1997) on designing web pages, and supported by Reep, 2006, on principles design, therefore, in this post I have tried to give point form or subheading to attract readers attention on reading my blog. On top of that, like Schriver 1999 said that picture and text will contruct the making meaning, the blog posts have a subscription and explanation on the pictures that provided. Besides that, to maintain the principles design and attract viewer attention to stay longer into my blog, I have maintain the proportion, balance, sequence and consistency of this blog. Lastly in order to keep my blog alive, chat box is provided and I hope viewers can dropped by and give any comments about this blog.

Finally, it can be concluded that blogging is a hobby for me, reading is a must, and arguing with any theoretical supported is a law in this issue publication and design. I have learned lots from this subject. I hope my viewer could find any useful information towards any issue.
