Now and Then

I always think that blog is just a platform for others to discuss on their interest and to write their diary. My personal blog is left unattended for a long time. After writing for this blog, I came to realize that blog can be of importance for academic purposes.

Through this blog, I am able to gain more knowledge on the issues of publication and design and the dilemma faced by the designers. Designers can be designing a document for a good purpose but ended up being hated by the readers or their document is considered offensive and seditious.

So, it is always important to take into account the audience, purpose and context as Schriver (1997) always stressed on. In the process of creating a blog where there aren’t any gatekeepers, we have to be responsible and ethical in what we write and never take advantage of the freedom that is given to us.
