Week 1, Prac 1

Pretty sweet class. Got to make my first blog ever, hence now I am a professional blogger and can sell my content to companies because I’m known by the world for my witty and humorous commentary regarding the world of media and today.

Class was pretty simple, there was nothing really complicated about navigating the WordPress interface (if 12 year old girls and 50 year old women with nothing better to do can do it so can media students), it’s making a unique page that is more difficult. There’s only a (relatively) small collection of themes to choose from, not many widgets and it’s kind of limiting in some aspects. I can’t code, and I know that code can be implemented into WordPress, which would in-fact surpass these limitations. But I’m sure with some time, some new learning and some new content to add to it that it’ll become my own, I’ll learn to love my little blog, which’ll be easier when I decide what to make it for.

This self-portrait ‘brief’… the ‘lo-fi’ element is stumping me. I know that I’m going to put too much effort into it, too much time and too much thought, but I don’t know how deep we’re supposed to go? Is this an in-depth look at our own personality through the eyes of others? Devoid of all superficiality and assumption? Are we supposed to just expose our deepest, darkest thoughts about both our inner and outer self? I have an in-depth knowledge of myself, particularly from others’ perspective. But am I supposed to delve that deep into this project? To metaphorically throw myself into the depths of an ocean trench of morbid reality? Will they laugh? Will I be just another one of those people that loves to post on the internet about their ’emotions’ and ‘problems’; which in reality are so first-world. This isn’t causing anxiety, nor a fear of the unknown, merely just an obtuse curiosity of how much of myself to truly expose…

 

I just right what comes to mind, it’s more like a train of thought than anything; a glimpse into the mind of a crazy person.
