When I first decided to start the blog, I did not really know what to expect. To be frank, with the advent of Facebook and Twitter, I had the perception that blogs are ‘things of the past’. I found that I was wrong. I discovered that blogs are more complete to share findings and resources, due to their common strength in archiving.
Blogs cannot be replaced by other media, just like print publications cannot be replaced by online ones. They have their respective strengths and weakness. In my comparison of publications of different medium types, I discovered that there are basic design principles that are adhered to, but different approaches are employed to suit their individualities.
Writing regularly for this couple of months has cultivated me to pay attention to issues affecting publications and their design considerations. This is formed, not just on my personal opinions. The researches done in this period has provided me significant knowledge on these issues.
