For this week’s blog post, I chose to analysis the Spring 2017 MSU website for The Social Life of Books. As an English major, this course came onto my radar last year when two of my friends took the course. I will be reviewing their work! What’s working: I really like the theme they chose. … Continue reading Review of a Previous COPLAC Student’s Website: MSU edition
This week I decided to look at UVA Wise and USAO! First, I looked at UVA Wise, and I loved the theme! I thought the header image was really well thought out for her project, and the background image was rather cute and flirty. I don’t think it detracts from any information, but instead keeps… Continue reading Window Shopping 2.0
What’s working for our site: I still love our theme. The stark black and white has really come across nicely and done exactly what we wanted: enhance the images. Have the maroon accents look really nice as well, and I truly love it. The page layouts are really nice as well. I like how we’ve… Continue reading What’s Working/What Needs Work 2.0
The first site that I visited was UMW’s site. I really liked the layout they chose and how it works with their header image. This image just screams 80’s to me! I also really like how they have drop down menus within their topic categories. To look at things on a National level and compare… Continue reading Window Shopping Other People’s Sites
As a creative writer, the craft classes I’ve taken have helped me to look at a piece objectively and think about “What’s working” and “What needs work.” So that is how I will proceed with this post What’s working: Theme- In our group, I’m the tech-savvy one. No offense to Catherine and her computer skills,… Continue reading What’s Working/What Needs Work
WOO HOO! Okay, so, as Leah said, you have to put the link in the Text area, which, if you’ll look when adding a post, is in the top righthand corner of the text box. Also, apparently, my major issue was that my images were of different sizes. Make sure the images you… Continue reading I GOT JUXTAPOSE TO WORK!!!! (GIRLISHLY SCREAMS)
The very first thing Catherine and I did was look at photos from MSU’s 90’s yearbooks. As we are analyzing different organizations on campus, the images play a large role in our project. Most of our work will come from looking at, comparing, and contrasting one image against another. We want to understand what differences… Continue reading Photos, photos, photos galore!
As said in my first post, my roommate and partner in this project hates cowboy boots. I learned in our interview that it’s not all cowboy boots, but mostly just the boots that have a lot of detailed embroidery and rhinestones. A simple pair of brown boots, she said, are not that bad. So, here… Continue reading Catherine Hates Cowboy Boots
I though I was good with technology, but after tonight, I’m second guessing myself… Catherine and I had originally talked of using Juxtapose for our website, seeing as we will be comparing fashion of different organizations over the course of 10 ten years. (By the way, we moved our topic to the 90s, and we… Continue reading I am not the Internet generation’s Bob the Builder…
Since I was once a part of the MySpace generation, I remembered how to customize a site to my personal preferences. It wasn’t very difficult this time around, but actually quite fun! As I went to customize my blog space, I chose the Button Filter, mostly because all the other options felt so business like… Continue reading Changing it Up!
