Evaluation: How did I create my Beauty Is Now Blog? Using a range of technologies I have created my beauty blog with the theme of skin. I decided to include two shoots, one element where the individual looks as though they have perfect skin, and one where a filter has been added to give the impression of a UV filter and therefore shows the skins inperfections. The copy for my blog was detailing the advantages of skin care and recommending what can be done to prevent skin damage therefore giving the individual a better canvas to apply makeup to. My product shoot was around skin care products and products to give the reader a flawless finish. What do I think was successful? I believe that my shoots were successful, I like the way they turned out and I feel like they embody my theme very well. I also think my sketch blog was successful. I believe I have done a lot of research on the theme and have successfully shown through my sketch blog how have come up with the final outcome of my blog. What do I think I could have improved on? In terms of what I could have improved on I would say there are a number of things. To start with I don’t think the final outcome of my blog was as professional as I would have liked it to have been. This is because I don’t think the columns of my copy fit well with the pictures. Furthermore I would have liked to have come up with a better font for my titles and blog name as this I think still looks a little amateur. I would also have liked to have been able to do more shoots as I think I could have done a little more with the theme and therefore created more successful images. How did I develop my research? Firstly I started researching around my theme. I researched skin care blogs that are already on the market and how the numbers compare to how many magazines were purchased to see if my blog would fit in with the industry. I then developed my research in terms of designing my shoots. To do this I researched skin care and the benefits of this and how it would help with the application of makeup. How did I solve any problems? I did not find that I had many problems when creating my blog except for the fact that models kept cancelling on me. To solve this I had to hunt and find other people who would be willing to be in my shoots. Another thing I found very difficult was to not be too picky with my work. In order to complete this blog I had to make a decision and believe in it and stick to it which is something I am not very good at but am however improving throughout this course on.
