Reflection & Conclusion

Reflection

I personally never thought that i will ever start a blog. But i got to admit it's quiet a adventurous journey writing this blog about Design and publication.

What did i learn?

At first , i dint know what to write and how to write a blog post. With the help of my lecturer and classmates i have gain a lot of knowledge through their guidance. I have learn to apply the different kinds of theories . I have also gain more knowledge about different topic such as kindle e-book , Tv Everywhere and etc. To me image is an important tool to be added to a blog thus will enhance the understanding of the content in the blog. According to Leeuwen (2006), images alone are too polysemous to stand alone as an image may mean a thousand meanings. (Walsh, 2006).Schriver(1997) states that text and images complement each other in a document where both coexist together to convey a message to the audience and to enhance the clarity and understanding of a message the audience.

Conclusion

As a conclusion , blogging is an important communication tool to educate , inform and also entertain people. Blogs includes peoples interpretation and different view about certain topics thus people's view got to be respected. Now i have realize how important blogging is to some of my peers. Furthermore , I know the basic knowledge about design and publishing Technic . Now i look forward to learn more about design and publishing in my upcoming semester.
