Half Drop

This was done by using the offset in the 'filter' dropbox. This created the downwards pattern and then I added the diagonal 'half drop' in myself. I then defined it as a pattern and filled in a new document with the pattern.

Full Drop

The full drop was created by making the original montage a defined pattern and then opening a new document and filling it with the pattern.

Stripe Repeat

 

 

This repeat was created by having a single set of strips (made from filling rectangular shapes in a pre-chosen colour pallet) and then the set of strips was copied and pasted onto a new document. I then created a row of those stripes by copying and pasting the selected original set of stripes. Once the row was made, I copied the whole row and pasted onto the same document. I then moved the row down so it was in line with the first row, filling up more of the document. I repeated this process until the whole document was filled.

Three Fashion Blogs

1. SRC783

Link >>> http://src783.blogspot.com/

This blog is appealing because many of the images are taken by the blogger herself which makes the blog very real. The other images that make up the blog then relate to different parts of the images which the blogger herself takes.


2. The Satorialist

I like that the photographer takes photos of 'real' people and has a focus on street fashion. He also doesn't just take photos in one area, but instead travels the world looking at different styles in different places.
It is also a combination of both mens and womens fashion.


3. ilovewildfox

Link >>> http://ilovewildfox.com/

This blog shows photos of current fashion, fashion models and also items of thee brands own label (Wild Fox). Many of the photos are self directed shoots used to display their clothing label.

What Makes A Good Blog Post...

From both reading about 'what makes a good blog post' in a variety of internet search engines, and actually reading blog posts myself, I have been able to identify 5 important factors that I believe answer the title of this post.
1. Content: Actually write about what your blog or blog title is about or implies
2. Font!!
3. Catchy and informative title: Draw your readers in from the start. Make them think about the possibilities of the content
4. Language and Grammar: Reading is more enjoyable if the reader understands what is going on and is able to follow the blog.
5. Visually Appealing: Using photos and images
