Just a Thought

Google Image: Blog no Evil

Creating this serious weblog was truly a learning process for me. I have learnt to understand that blogging is not merely a place where one pens down his/her thought in a diary-like form but it is also a place where communities are form. What have I learnt? I have learnt that being a blogger, you have to be culturally sensitive and responsible towards my own action when blogging. Additionally, I learnt that it is important to credit works of others when it is used in my blog. Besides that, I have discovered the principles of design in which I have applied to create this weblog.

This assignment has given me a clearer understanding on the issues in publication and design. The theories that I have understood is Kress and van Leeuwen’s theory on semiotic landscape, multimodality and on the analysis of newspaper layout. Meanwhile, I managed to grasp Shriver’s theory on the interplay of words and pictures.

Hence, as I am equipped with all of these information and experience, I really do hope to apply and to practise it in future comings.
