Week 9: Part B

 For this blog, I think I can break this genre down into a few categories to stay better organized.

  • “Building a Miniature” - How I put certain miniatures together. If some miniatures are easier to build than others. What tricks I may have for building some different miniatures.
  • “Prepping for Paint” - How (after finishing a build) I prep the miniatures for paint. Why I use certain primers. Do I fill gaps.
  • “How I Paint “ - first category would be showing and explaining how I am painting a certain model. The techniques and paints I am using. What brushes I use. The techniques I’m using to lay the paint down.
  • “Paints I Use” - showing what paints I use for different techniques.
  • "Finishing a Miniature" - what steps I use to seal and finish the miniatures I'm working on.


Each of these categories I could easily split into sub categories for even more organization and to make the blog easier to search. Whatever makes searching and reading a blog or blog post easier to search and share will add to the reach of the blog.

Week 1 - Blog Theme

  I chose the Notable Coral theme to start with. The color scheme first caught my eye. The bright coral color against the black background stood out among the gallery of themes on offer. It also came with a clean simple design and I knew I was going to want to modify it a bit, so thought that would make an easier place to start from. Notable Coral, I noticed, was way more dynamic in adapting to platform sizes than some of the other themes. In this new era of smart phones and tablets that more and more people are using to view internet pages on, I thought that this would be a plus for any direction I would be going in with this blog. I think it would be better for more people on whatever device they prefer to have an enjoyable experience when interacting with this blog or any website. I like the options of customizing the themes that Blogger provides. For this Notable Coral theme, I changed the Title font and color, the font of the main body text, and how vivid the coral color is.

Week 3 Part A: Aesthetics, Design, and Branding

      http://gatesnfences.com/     http://jamilin.com/ These two websites have some problems, to say the least. The Ease of use, or more like, the lack of Ease of use on both sites makes it almost imposable to locate what you may be looking for if you went to the websites as a search result. Neither use Contrast very well. What contrast that is used pull attention away from relevant information about product or links to that information. Typography use is basic at best if it was even thought of. Both at least picked a sans seraph font. Neither of these sites come across as projecting any kind of professionalism in either the design or more safely, in the company they were designed for.   A couple of improvements could drastically change the perception of both websites. A more contrasting color scheme would change the overall appearance dramatically. Both should pay attention to where the colors could be used to build a hierarchy in the page. Proximity could be used to better illustrate
