My Design
The reason why I made my blog the way it is because I want people to look at my blog and say "Wow that's different" or "Wow, what was he thinking." Basically I want to go across the grain and have a design that is not "normal" or isn't a standard blog design. So that is why I picked the chickens as my background, I thought it would be different from the mass and set my blog apart from the others. The other stuff I added such as pictures, quotes, and other multimedia was just me trying out the blogspot site to see what cool stuff I could do with my blog, not much planning went into that part of the design. It was just trial and error and I ended up just keeping the media.

I think your idea of using a background that most people would not expect is a very interesting one. I think that because you're using a background that is really outlandish and unexpected it will automatically draw people in to read what you have to say because they become interested. Do the chickens represent anything specifically about race and gender for you? I also think that by adding the quotes and pictures you add a more personal touch and it allows the reader to get more of an insight into who you are as a person and as a writer.
ReplyDeleteSometimes "trial and error" is a crucial step toward understanding. At some point, however, you will need to buckle down and try to articulate the key issues for you. Your design ideas are creative and it is important to take risks. I look forward to seeing how this develops.
