Event Poster

This is an event poster that I really like. It's very simple, yet vibrant. It's easy to look at and not so confusing. The information can be easily found. The direction of the color brings the viewer to more information. So, the manipulation of direction is well designed simply.

Twitter Experience

At first, I was opposed to having an account in any sort of social media, except for Facebook. I was dreading having to sign up at Blogspot but I was dreading more about Twitter. I was the one person that did not want to get involved in these new social media crazes.

After signing on Blogspot, I though it as kind of cool. I can write anything about I wanted. But then looking around at some other blogs, I noticed that other bloggers had a central theme to their blogs. I was always trying to think of one subject that I can write about. I did have an idea, but I thought that I wasn’t much of an expertise to write about it.

Then came along Twitter. How I dreaded signing up for it. It was as if I was surrendering myself to the power of social media. I didn’t want to be one of those people obsessed with the great creation of social media.

I couldn’t think of a clever or cute account name. So I thought deeply about what my tweets will be about. Will I be tweeting around a certain theme? What is the one thing that I will be talking about? Then I realized there isn’t one thing. I honestly have random thoughts. Hence the account name camsRandoms was born.

I had trouble on what random thoughts I had that should be tweeted or not be tweeted. I honestly thought the first couple of tweets were boring and impossible for people to be able to respond to.

I then realized that my account name should relate to what I tweet about- random things/thoughts. And that it was okay to do so. I guess I had a little trouble figuring out if my random thoughts mattered.

I really do like twitter now. I didn’t like how the assignment had a minimum amount of tweets, but then if there wasn’t a minimum, I guess I would have never learned the advantages of twitter. Overall, I enjoyed this assignment.

I will definitely continue on tweeting, but maybe less or even more than the requirement on the assignment. I especially like how it gives me the freedom to say whatever I want to say because if I said what I tweeted to a person, they would only say, “Well, that’s random.” They wouldn’t appreciate my, let’s sayt, randomness. It’s a good place for me to pour out my random thoughts.
