25.1.10 - 31.1.10.

Monday - Today we were at the library, researching Andy Warhol and his work. We had to select up to five of his pieces that we liked and give an explanation as to why we like them and what makes them good.

Tuesday - Today we were introduced to our new lecturer, Brian, who was to replace Ewan. We also met Taylor, who has taken over from Laura. We looked at the anatomy of a magazine and how it is all put together. We had to look through a few magazines and choose a double-spread page which we were then to trace the main parts of and name all the different sections. In the afternoon, when we had Taylor, we looked at the different ways/styles to learn and created a piece to reflect our own personal style. We found this out by answering questions.

Thursday - Today was our last day of working on our animation projects and finishing them off which we did successfully.

Text Formatting.

Here are two websites which allow you to use text formatting. I am going to compare two - Tumblr and Blogger. Tumblr and Blogger are both similar in the way that both sites allow you to keep a daily blog.

Blogger : Blogger is a site which allows you to create a blog and is used by many people from all over the world. It is easy to use and contains several features which include changing the text size, making the text bold or italic, choosing the colour of the text, centering the text, setting it to one side etc, hyperlinks, changing the justification, use numbering/bullet points, quotations. You can also do a spell-check, import photos/videos and you can choose to remove any formatting.

Tumblr : Similar to Blogger, Tumblr also allows you to create a blog. Features of Tumblr are : making text bold, using italics, strike-though, bullet points/numbering, outdent/indent, inserting images, link/unlink and last but not least, spell-check.

Although they are both very similar, Blogger offers a wider range of options but Tumblr has a couple of features that Blogger doesn't have at this particular time which are strike-through and indent/outdent. Blogger all in all is the better blogging site as there are more features available.
