Missing Crit

I also have a class critique that I posted on someones blog as a comment, it was the gypsy Life blog, it was the first critique we had ever done in class.

Social App

I have a link in my Facebook Account that leads people to my blog. I dont have an app in my blog here for the class blog. Dan told me to just tell you about that.

Jared's Bit of Everything

The first thing that jumps out is the creativity with the title page, it really does want you to scroll down more. It gives the page a feel of creativity and organization. It makes you feel as though this page is ligit and has a purpose. The posts about his own personal health is interesting, not too many other pages have input or insight into the actual life of the person who is editing and posting on the blog. It gives the ability for the reader to relate with the blogger, its kind of interesting that he does this. I dont know if i'm a huge fan of it, but it might very well be a great and intended idea. Whatever it takes to get traffic. The personal artwork also adds to this aspect of the page...I think it does end up being useful. Through and through i enjoy this blog as well. It has some very good personalization to it, something that I haven't quite seen with anyone elses blog, or mine, for that matter. Good Job.

Big E Size That

This blog is certainly entertaining. I like the simplicity that goes along with the jokes and the political cartoon type posts. I dont know how much the title picture goes with the page but its a sick picture. (Once again I do snowboard). But I'm still laughing at the post about hyphenated marriages. Wow, the content in this blog is excellent... I bet that anyone who visits it wont leave without Laughing, seriously. I dont know much to say about this, i feel like i say this about every blog but I think i f we all had that experience with HTML before this class that our blogs would sky rocket. If they looked as good as the ideas that we had for them we might all be famous here. Its pretty cool. The "tattoo of the year" ?? WOW... I think i could have died. Keep doing what youre doing with this page, i know I'm enjoying it enough haha.

Surf Nightmares

This page was a nice, refreshing and different type of blog. It has interviews, facts, conversations about surfing. I believe the content out does the actual layout of the blog, it seems a bit over whelming and I'm not a huge fan of the color scheme, but i really do like the content. Surfing is something I'm not 100% familiar with but always wanted to read and learn about . i snowboard and wake board personally, So i enjoyed hearing the stories about different surfers. I think its a great idea for a place that different people can come and share experiences or just simply read for personal enjoyment. There probably is many other successful sites that have similar topics and ideas around their blog so I guess there should be some way to devise a plan to make this page stand out differently. I'd be afraid that if the site were too plain and too generic it might not be as interesting to people who view surfing pages regularly. Overall, a job well done..I know myself, not being a regular blogger until this class...I enjoyed reading it.

Artist Statement

As an artist I hope to accomplish giving an insight into my life through generic types of artwork, images, words, or even in the case of this class: electronic art. I don’t believe I am meant to be some revolutionary new artist for a new generation of people. I feel through my blog, artwork, or whatever the medium is that I can add to the evolution of art as it is changing through electronic interaction. I love the ideas of posting, sharing, and even developing artwork through multimedia. As an artist my goal is not to completely conform the so called “rules and regulations” that have preceded me, but to help with the transition into this new era of what is considered ART.

GFX Overload

The content on this blog page is fantastic. The images continue to be of very high quality and I know I could probably sit and stare at them just analyzing for quite a while. This is a really interesting page when, not only to the graphics interest you but they make you want to read the rest of the post. Some graphic sites you get all you want out of just looking at the image and deciding for yourself. I find myself wanting to read the descriptions, comments, etc. I especially liked the post about the show Lost and the ARG Advertising. I had seen similar things and was interested as well. To try and search for an improve is difficult, I feel that this blog (as well as mine) is victim to the simple black background basic blogger template. I know I wish we all knew html better because I believe this site could take off with a few minor aesthetic improvements. Overall I find the content to be very appealing to me.
