Blog #3 - Purpose



How About Orange, http://howaboutorange.blogspot.ca/, is a blog that provides insight on DIY projects and other designing and creative ideas. The writers name is Jessica Jones, who is a graphic and textile designer when she is not blogging. She is a continuous blogger with numerous blogs per week. She has written nine blogs in the last two weeks alone. You can see that she is passionate about this blog and really enjoys what she does.

Jessica posts many different kinds of things on her blog, but they all have to do with either a craft idea that she has created, a DIY project from another cite, or things that she has designed herself, like these dog collars:



There are many big, colorful, and eye catching images in her posts, which keep you interested, and also help to follow her instructions and descriptions for DIY projects. The tone of her blog is very casual, but yet still professional because of her job. Because she is a graphic and textile designer, one of the purposes behind her blog is to promote her work. She has a link to a page about herself, where you can read about her job and what she has accomplished. She also includes her email address so that manufacturers can reach her if they would like to work with her. 


I think that there is an obvious love for the arts, crafts, and designing displayed by Jessica in these posts, and I believe that another main purpose behind this blog is to allow others to share in that love and passion. She posts a lot of things on her blog that do not help her job out in any way. They simply provide a lot of fun for others to enjoy!

  2. I really liked reading your post of Jessica's blog. I would also say the same, as a reader can tell she is passionate about what she does. You can tell that she is simple, but expresses more love, and compassion to where she puts her work. I really liked how you analyzed the community aspect to her blog, where it is a place to share ideas, and similarities with each other. Well done, and thank you.
