Reflection

Through this blog, I have expressed the different types of issues that may arise in the field of publication and design. Apart from coming in close contact with these issues surrounding the topics concerned, I have also come across several theoretical theories. For instance, readers tend to utilize different senses to fathom multimodal texts which are involved in visual images which give priority to the arrangement of colours, frames, hyperlinks, medium and menu board (Walsh, 2006). During the course of designing this blog, I had to pay close attention to the arrangement of texts as well as other elements to suite the taste of readers better.

As a blogger now, I believe that proper attribution and credit to the designated sources play an important role in a personal blog as they may be seen as plagiarism. Through this blog, it has also come to my knowledge the importance of use of proper terminologies and jargons to not offend any cultural values or norms (Digikev, 2005).

I sincerely hope that this blog has achieved its main objective and readers have indeed gained knowledge concerning the issues in publication and design.
