Your Online Media

Hi Everyone! This will be my last post for my blog. Let me share my thoughts for these few days when doing this blog. Even though there aren't many post, having to create and manage a blog is still a challenge, as I tried to cover as much as i could. During the progress, i have learn many things and concept of how to create a blog, design and also the art of the typography. Every step is as important as it is. And during the process of searching, i have come across alot of blogs and realise that how much influences and responsiblilty it carries. So once again thank you for everyone for supporting this blog!

There are some factor we should take note after seeing 2 blogs and why are they sucessful in blogging

1st. First Image & Appearances

first of all, is the ability to attract readers to stay in your blog. everyone in the internet will visit your blog, but who will actually stay and read everything you wrote. Attraction is the key. Not only that, to enable viewers to surf your blog as long as possible, it must be easy to read and navigate. they layout must not be too striking or too dull. And the content is important too. Even the most patient person in the world will get fustrated if he or she keeps reading of long paragraphs. So try to keep to the main point as close as possible.

2nd. The Art of Typography

A good typography can play a vital role in the sucess of a web design. it can help to read easier. and also to help reader to identify the which are the important information by using headlines, subheading etc. Making use of different font size is a great help!

3rd. Sequences

The sequences is one of the most important when designing a website. it allows readers to see them in the best order of the document. As humans are designed to read things from left to right, you must be throughtful to arrange your information properly. for example reading the least important information to the most important information.

4th. Consistency & Neat

For viewers to read the text, having properly organised is very important. such like 

• margins to align the sentences properly
• using the same font size. etc. 16pts for all Headings, 14pts for all subheadings and 12pts for parapraphs.

Okay, the 2nd Blog i will be talking about will be much 'lighter'. it is our Singapore famous blogger, Wendy Cheng, better known as Xia Xue. According to her blog, there are more than 40 thousand viewer reading it everyday. which i would say it is a lot. Her blog does have great influnences in Singapore, she provide updates of fashion and local issues and most of her viewers are females, young adults that is interested in fasion, making her posts paid advertorials. Due to the popularity of her blog, she has won quite a number of sponsorship deals. She even had a web televsion channel at clicknetwork.tv, called 'Xiaxue's guide to life'. Her influences level is so great that even the Health Promotion Board selected her as an ambassador for their campaign to discourage women from smoking and help female smokers quit. So do you want your blog to be as sucessful as her's?

In this post, i will explain about how blogs can greatly affect our community, in both good and bad ways. these are the 2 well known blogs that i will be using as example. The first will be 'Diary of A Singaporean Mind' (http://singaporemind.blogspot.sg/) and second will be the Singapore famous blogger 'Xia Xue's Blog (http://xiaxue.blogspot.sg/) Diary of A Singaporan Mind Firstly, i would like to mention that i have no intention of making any politcal views here. In this blog, the blogger does wrote on how he feels about singapore's political issues,news and problems. So does this affect the community? YES, it does. Seriously. Let my analyse it for you. First of all, the blogger itself is not being objective in this post. For example, 'White paper Passed: Roadmap to an unwanted destination' and 'Population White Paper: An Epic Failure at all levels'. There is nothing wrong for him to post such a title/post. Its is a blog after all, like what i mention in my previous post, it is a personal diary. But what the real problem is, there are many people reading it. One of my friend told me, 'I was actually being neutural about politics until i read his blog, i start to hate the ruling party'. Just imagine how many people were in the same circumstances. Today, in our common lifestyle, many people does not read newspapers or maybe watch the news. people tend to read everything from a single resource. And i believe most of them will believe whatever they read first. So what do you think?

Welcome everyone! Welcome to my blog! In here, I will be reviewing and discussing about 'Issues in publication and design' such as the design, layout and the creativity. the purpose of creating this blog give everyone who reads my post a general idea of what publication and design is about.

But before we begin, lets have a brief introduction of what blogging is about.
