We had the task of searching through blogs, looking at content, user friendliness, layout and so on.
Here is three that stood out to me the most:
The first one that caught my attention was a blog created by the father of a two year old girl, who is now 5, in which his daughter has set him 'briefs' of what to draw and then 'critiqued' them in her own way. The layout is a simplistic, white background and the only colour you see is that of Bill Zeman's art work. His level of skill in his illustrating captured my attention, showing he is putting effort into these drawings that his daughter is requesting.
This screen shot is how his blogs are set up, the harsh critiquing is more than likely what has giving him such following on 'Tiny Art Director' blog. Zeman also has an illustration site and a portfolio site so this is just a fun blog for people to enjoy.
The second blog that caught my attention:
Clusta.blogspot.com. As soon as this blog loaded I instantly saw the blog '45 Most Powerful images of 2011' I clicked on one of the images and it took me to another website with all of the 45 images on, powerful technically strong images showing the horror of tragedies people have gone through, mostly in natural disasters or the twin towers attacks. This is one of the good points of blogs, it is so easy to link to other sites so you don't have to fill up your blog with text or images if you don't want to, and it is also sharing other peoples work.
