Personal Reflection

In this subject Issues in Publication and Design (IPD), I appreciate the opportunity to open a blog discussing about blog issues, printed and screen design and current media issues happened in 2012. Loomer (2012) suggests that set a main focus for the blog is one of the key factors in creating a successful blog.

Apart from this, Schriver (1997, p.363) proposes that the words and pictures used should have a relation and interaction in between to provide understanding to the readers. To keep this in mind, I only chose pictures which are related to the topic of my blog posting.

On the other hand, Kirby (2010) also underlines that consistency is essential in managing a blog in order to maintain regular readership; therefore, I have blogged every month in this period.

Lastly, I would like to thank my readers especially my mentor Miss Jenny for the support of this blog. Till then, Ciao!
