Week 4 Part 2


Week 4: part 2

I commented on the blogs of Jackson_Iana, Particelli_Blair , Trantham_Jordan

The first website I choose is https://www.miracosta.edu/
It is laid out nicely so that it is easy to navigate through to find and access the information you are looking for. The visual aesthetic is nice and they used colors that work for a school website but also are complimentary colors so they are easy on the eyes. The text is easy to read and is consistent throughout the whole website. I visit this website because I attend the school and have to use it for my classes but I choose it for this assignment because its probably my most visited website and also a site we all know and use. I feel the website is created very well but if I was to change anything it would be refining the information that appears when you need to use the search bar because sometimes its hard to weed through to find what I’m looking for. Another improvement would be formatting more mobile access because sometimes I have trouble accessing things on my phone.

The other website I choose was https://www.amazon.com/
I believe this website is composed well and I choose it because it’s a very popular website and felt it should be a great example of a properly compiled website. The website is extremely effective because of the way they sell their products but they have gained so much popularity and business by the exposure of their advertising. They have promoted themselves very well and have become a major retailor without producing anything themselves. I feel the design and layout is a little chaotic and appearance is somewhat distracting when you visit the main page but the colors and text are clean and appropriate. The user interface is what’s appealing to this site. It caters to the main users interests and previous searches but it also promotes other products and specials to increase purchases. I also feel the review and comment system they use is extremely effective on making people more comfortable using the site and buying products. The fact that the prices of items are available to compare, the review system imbedded and the general lower prices of products are the reasons I use the site. If I was to improve anything it would only be to clean up the main page and make it more inviting.

Week 2: Overview of Social Media My belief is every social media excluding some websites have primarily been made for personal uses but most of them have evolved to be personal, businesses, and many more uses. They are designed to help accommodate the human species in a modern and technological world. There are endless social media platforms for personal and business use including Instagram, Facebook, Twitter, LinkedIn,Tumbler, Pinterest, Behance, Etsy, etc. Tumbler and Pinterest seem to me like the most used for personal use. The majority of people on those forums are just posting all the things they like. I follow a lot of photographers and nerdy things on Tumbler and Pinterest and it is all just people posting what they like or want and is is rarely used to sell anything or even to promote any business.  I feel Facebook is the most useful social media platform for businesses to promote themselves. As a photographer I feel Instagram is the best social media platform to u...

Week 11: Email Marketing - Part 1

Part 1 I definitely think depending on what business you have newsletters can always a good idea. They keep the customers and audience involved and connected to the business and in some cases can be a friendly reminder. They are a great way to give new information or inform the customers of a promotion going on or give coupons. Newsletters can be somewhat annoying though because sometimes there isn't important information on them and they just get thrown away. I believe that whatever your intent or goal is with the newsletter, it needs to be direct and concise and also get the attention of the person that's receiving it and make them have a reason to hold on to it. For me as a photographer I would plan on doing either a once a month or once every 3 months. I would probably have some sort of coupon or promotion going on and also share some new events or information that has happened in between newsletters. They would be beneficial for my business to remind the customers an...

Week1A: My Template

I chose to use this template because I am a nature photographer and I feel like this was the best template that represented me. I love the blue and black colors together and feel it is a powerful dominate color pallet that shows I am a strong professional. As a nature photographer, I like the tree image in the template. The colors in the image mach the rest of the template very well. I enjoy going on hikes and photographing trees and nature. I feel by using this template my posts will be able to be easily accessible and laid out in a very clean and organized manner so that my readers can navigate my blog easily.
