Assignment/Exercise Description

Part One:

Blogs!!!

They’re everywhere!

Blogs are a great tool for designers, not just for the sharing of ideas but for networking. Each week you will find a new design blog to follow. Hand in a written paper that includes their website address and key topics covered. In addition, include your response to their blog. Discuss style, set up, format, topics (relevant or not to design). Pay special attention to their layout, their ease/function and networking availability options (example: did they include twitter, facebook, rss feed links?) Paper should be1 typed page, double space, times, and size 12.


Part Two:

Time to start blogging!

You will be required to start a design blog and post a minimum of one time per week on a trend or topic that interests you in graphic design. This MUST be original….no copying and pasting from someone else’s blog. Post some of your work, discuss a technique, or maybe begin a discussion thread. Be original! Print out each weekly blog and hand in at the start of each week (1st class session, beginning of class). Try to network and experience the community of bloggers in the design world. It’s an excellent tool to exchange idea, reflect on your work/techniques and to network.
