What to work on....Claire Bagg

Chosen website site: Weebly

            Text change to be added/made:
                           - Work on about page; what to talk about, how to describe self and work ect.
                                      - Add additional contact information into "About" page to make it more
                                        easily seen and accessible.

            Changes to be made:
                           - Remove button "next album" comes off a bit confusing; directs you to the next
                             album before getting a chance to view the album below.
                           - Keep black/grey box with album description but remove image behind; image
                             seems too obscure (on both "Fine Arts" & "Portraits").
                           - Show top few images to grab viewers attention, rather than having to make them
                             scroll all the way to the bottom (in both "Fine Arts" & "Portraits").
                           - Fix "Portrait" description sentence; spelling, words, explanation ect.
                           - For "Portraits" section choose maybe 5-7 images like in Fine Arts; try not to cluster
                             page with too many images, can be a bit overwhelming.

Sean Leahy

I am going to be working with wix. I need to work on perfecting my header and possibly working on making my name appear better. I will make sure all the fonts mach up. I may need to revise my artist statement. The biggest task i will have is re-shooting photos of my works. I will use the cube and lighting to shoot much more professional photos. After that i will continue to add new works to my site as they are created. I will also include works in progress and possible ideas and inspiration.

Allison McCulloch Wordpress

I have decided to go with the Wordpress site to further develop my blog. In the next few classes I would like to hone in on the design elements of my site. I need to create a custom header that represents my personality and the overall feeling of the blog. I would like to change my background from a color to an image that will coordinate with the design elements I already have. I might try and add a few more widgets like a music player and my instagram.

            Once I have the design worked out, my next goal is to continue to post interesting content on my blog. I think a good goal would be two to three times a week. In order to do this I really need to brainstorm content for posts. I also need to take more pictures of my adventures and daily happenings. Because I made this blog to organize everything I find cool into one place… I need to keep finding cool things to write about!

            Another goal I have is to explore into other blogs I like either for their content or their design and try to take from that. When I post content I need to link it to my facebook to promote people to read it and follow. What is a blog if you have no one reading it? That will take some confidence in my writing as well but I think if I can come up with good content, people will read it.



Week 1:
Design Elements, header, background color, adding widgets, creating nav bar with separate blog feeds, finishing about me

Week 2&3:
Adding Content.. 1 per class (more photos, videos, etc)

Week 4:
Cross posting to facebook, instagram, etc.
