Types of media used on our blog





In our blog I have used Prezi for many posts, whether it was presentations for opening sequences, character costumes or to show our groups planning. I think Prezi is one of my favorite type of media to use for our blog as there is a wide range of things you can produce with it and it also looks very professional. I also really like it as each Prezi can look different from the last, it is also interactive once you put it on the blog anybody who views your blog is able to look through any presentation slide they wish.
I have only used Wordle on my groups once, however I do see myself using it many more times as i think it is a better way of listing things as it is much more visually appealing than just using a normal blog post. Its very simple to use as you just type a bunch or words (preferably the words you are planning to use) and then it generates them for you in a nice picture which looks really good in your blog.

I have also used many GIFs in our blog posts as I feel just like the wordle picture, gifs too are a better visual representation of what we are trying to show. I think gifs are much more interesting than just using basic jpegs hey move :) which is always fun to watch. I plan to continue using gifs however will not try go overboard in the use of them as it can begin to look tacky if everything on your blog is a gif.

Time toast in another type of media that I have used when posting. I feel that time toast is best used for when you need to illustrate a timeline as it shows your timeline in a very visually pleased and very organised way where you can easily scroll through and see what your timeline has. As a group we used this to show our production schedule. I think it is a very good use of media however it is limited in what you can use it for as it is only for timelines.
