No. 19 : Classmate Blog Critique

As soon as I saw this assignment on the list I just knew it would be hard to choose just one to critique, seeing as all of my peers have done a great job this semester. Nonetheless, I decided on doing a deeper dive into Katie Graham’s blog for this course. Her blog caught my eye instantly with the color scheme that managed to make pop with her solid white background. Her storytelling through her visuals alone have gotten better as the semester has gone by.

Being that Katie is from Magnolia, it shows in her various blog posts such as those about local issues and hometown news. I know for me since I am not from Magnolia I definitely learn something new about Magnolia through her blog posts. I applaud her choice of over images for each of her posts, as they are colorful and eye catching. I especially like the one with that various colors of gelato, the main reason being gelato of course. 

Katie’s blog posts and full of the necessary information, yet are not bombarded by unnecessary wording. She seems to utilize visuals as a “pause” between the paragraphs, and make sure that she uses captions to explain the images. She even manages to post her sources at the end of her blogs as a nice neat link that her readersHer writing style in personable and engaging, all while being serious and factual. I commend Katie on a job well on her blog and development as a writer this semester.
