Today we had a blogging workshop. The first task was to find one blot entry from OUGD504 that is written in the first person (I, me, in my opinion) and then rewrite it in the third person.
I changed one post about researching grids from;
1) " I started by researching grid systems as it was something I was quite unfamiliar with last year so I decided to research this first in order to eliminate any confusion with these when working on this brief."
2) "Grid systems are complex and aren't particularly clear unless you research them. To eliminate any confusion you need to research them in depth when working on various briefs. "
The second task was to find a blog entry where we have made a design decision based on a preference or aesthetic comparison.
Task 2 - We were then asked to rewrite this entry using only objective, justifications for the decision - cultural,contextual,audience,communication,primary research, literature.
1) " I then added a moustache to the logo to add an italian stereotypical reference linking to pizza's country of origin as well as adding a masculine representation of the person "Oscar"."
2) "After researching more into italian stereotypes, this particular type of moustache was used a lot to communicate an italian representation as well as linking to their culture. That informed the decision to add a moustache to the logo to create an italian stereotypical reference linking to pizza's country of origin. The moustache also added a masculine representation of the person "Oscar". The moustache was effective in communicating the italian culture and instantly links the country to the target audience."
What is the difference between the following types of writing?
- Describing
To describe is to give a detailed account in words of a particular matter.
- Analysing
To analyse is to examine methodically and in detail the constitution or structure of (something, especially information), typically for purposes of explanation and interpretation.
- Evaluating

- Contextualising
To place or study in context
- Theorising
To form a theory or set of theories about something
- Narrating
To give a spoken or written account of
Task 3 - Where we have made a series of small design decisions (often a stream of images)
Summarise and evaluate the accumulation of your design changes.
It is not necessary to document every slight change as much as it is necessary to explain and justify your design choices.
Task 4 - Write/Rewrite your latest blog entry following these guidelines..
