Blogger Research

What is the blog and whose is it?


This blog is really different then the other two in both the way that it is laid out and the subject matter itself. This blog is more tailored to home wear and directly focused on fashion design which is my area of studying. I have chosen to look at this blog as this is different than all the others I have researched so far therefore will be interesting to look at it and compare due to these differences of topic and also target markets, this intern can help me direct my blog to the right marketplace as I will know what to do and especially not what to do.

What do I like about it?

What I like about this blog is that it is more of what I would say is a traditional one with the name at the top as tile and the different entries you can click on down the right hand side, this mixed with the way that the posts have a bordered edge with the date of when they were posted makes it more classic in style as this is the original look of a past blog, this format also makes it very simple to understand due to the way all the information is gathered together in a clear way. What I find is very interesting is within them all the they have a plain neutral coloured background of a light colour of a white or a cream even when they are showcasing different area, I feel that they may do this as the light colour doesn’t detract away from the items they are showing and is an easily colour to read off. This added with the way that white has a light elegant colour theory to it makes the blog feel very sophisticate in one way but in another it to me does leave it a little cold feeling as it doesn’t have that injection of personality in it that is needed to showcase yourself as a designer (your style, ideas ect...) therefore within my own blog I have used a colourful but feminine design on my background to showcase how I am, but this may change when I develop more and refine myself in this industry making my blog a work in process but I will note these features as they may be key for my future success of my blog and be the deciding factor that can help me gain followers.

What works well and that I could use within my own blog?

Looking at this blog the elements that I want to include is this classic clear blog format due to the way that it is easy to see what you are posting and therefore you’re though processes and influence allowing people to get to know you. In my blog as you are able to see in the following pages I have applied this to my blog and I feel that it does work well as not only does it make it easily to understand but it also fits into my brand identity being one that is more classic and vintage/timeless in style so the use of this format that is like the original blogs ones helps me as a designer send a consistent message to the viewer.

Conclusion


In conclusion from looking at all three of these different blogs I have been able to pick out a variety of different features that I feel work well and that I can (and have) put into practise to improve my basic BlogSpot online profile. This I feel will help me gain views to my blog as it will move it forward and develop it into something that people have a desire to read.
