Create Phase Reflection

Reflection:

     This unit, we had to create a productive blog. I decided, that since i had an interest in music, my blog should revolve around music. We then spent about 2 months working on the blogs and finally finished this week. We had to go through all the different design specifications and the create phases of the design cycle. I have to admit, i had a tough time trying to keep on top of all the different tasks and often since my computer is a little of a late model, often had trouble applying these different things to the blog and my progress reports.

      I feel that my blog has really progressed since the first product. I started off with just a blank webpage and a ton of ideas. But, throughout this unit i learned to put them all into words and make them into a functional webpage. However, i do feel that i could have made this so much better if i had completed all my assignments to the best of my ability. The colors of the blog fit to me for they are more natural and not too bright. Also, the pianos that show on my background display my love for music, but do not take away too much from the actual content of the blog. 

      I am most proud of the way that my blog looks. I feel it looks spacious but cozy. I am proud of the way that it is appealing to my audience and shows of a little bit of who i am. 

      This blog meets my design specifications. It is visually appealing and organized which are both 2 very important things because without these aspects of a blog, one will not want to read it! My blog also contains relevant content due to the subject i am writing about, and includes pictures that help the audience walk through the steps i took. My blog also follows the theme of music which adds an aspect of what my life is like and of who i am. 

      If i was to change a part of my blog to make it better, i would probably change the effectiveness of my blog and work more on organizing it by page not just the way it looks. It is OK now, but i feel i could make it even better with a little bit of advice and effort. 

      If i was to expand my blog to better my community, i would definitely stick with the theme of music and work with that. I think that i could make a blog to share useful information or something that would fall under my interests. I would possibly want to work with a friend, so two entirely different ideas could go into 1 blog under 2 different pages. 

      I do believe that my blog has turned out really well, although i do think that if i had taken more time when A. writing my reflections, and B. working on the different stages of the design cycle, could have helped my blog turn out a lot more. However, despite what i could have done, i do think that my blog turned out really well and is really functional to my purpose.
