Semester Project Self‐Review (SPSR)

PARENT EXPRESS

PUROSE:

This project was based on single parents or even parents in general that have a busy schedule and can’t find time to balance their daily life and fitness. Therefore, I have came up with exercise that only took 3 to 5 minutes of their time to do and gave the steps on how they could do it.

SUMMARIZE:

It took me a while to really figure out how I wanted to organize my blog, I couldn’t figure out what topics I really wanted to stay on. Also, because I am a professional dancer, I exercises would be easier for me to comprehend and give better work. I was balancing on recipes and exercise.  When I came to a conclusion that exercise will have more options and more things to talk about, I stuck with it.  Honestly, I don’t know how to cook so that would have been really difficult for me. Even though I am a mother myself, I am blessed to have people that cook for me and my daughter.

AUDIENCE CHOICE

My audience choice is parents. I chose this because I am a parent and I have many of friends that are parents as well. Therefore, it was easy for be to stay in my comfort zone because of the fact that this is what I am familiar with. Also with my audience choice, I know a lot of parents who need these exercise tips to stay in shape and keep their motivation of exercising to make them feel like a different person and stronger.

TONE

My tone in my project is direct and informative.  Teaching people about exercise and giving them steps, you have to be précised, that is the only way they’re going to be able to comprehend it without it actually being done in front of them. Also I gave them pictures so they would be able to see a visual of the exercises.

STRUCTURE/ORGANIZATION

My structure is very simple and I kept it throughout my whole blog. One thing I am not a writer never been one, so that is always have been my downfall. Therefore, I kept my structure and organization simple and the same. If I didn’t do that, it would have been very hard for me. I stayed with my subject and stayed with it. I had other ideals, but I wanted to keep it simple.

SATISFIED

I am actually satisfied with how my blog turned out, I never done a blog before and honestly, I thinking about actually staying with it. It was actually fun and also probably could help my writing skills get better. I always determined to find ways to get better in whatever I do in life, therefore, I am interesting how far I could actually go.

DISSATISFIED

I think the only thing I am not satisfied with and this is actually personal, I wish I could get my brain to find different ways of saying things or even I wish I were a better writer. I have great ideal, but it so hard for me to actually put them in words. Therefore, I think with me staying with this blog, could help me become a stronger writer.

ONLINE FORM EXPLANATION

Purpose: 

The purpose of this online survey is to gather information on the different parental methods. 

Specific Purposes:

By gathering information on how parents make judgments for their kids, I am organizing these methods by age, gender, and race. Therefore, this help me gain knowledge on how  people raise their children in different outlooks.

I chose the questions by

• curiosity
• knowledge
• methods
  

Tone: 

My tone for this survey is direct because I am only trying to catch the eye for people who can answers these precise questions.

Audience:

The audience I speaking to is parents. No matter if they single or not, but parents general. Just trying to catch other parents point of view on discipline.

Any Complications?

Yes I had many complications, the site I used to make my survey gave me limits. Therefore, I had to used what I could. I also had many more questions I wanted to add. My ideals for this project was everywhere regarding parents, so I try to stay in the same category as far as judgment parents make for their kids.

revised infographic

Explanation
I was trying to show the race statistics of single working moms in 2012 that lived in the United States.
This information was important because out of 12.2 million single parent families in 2012, more than 80% were headed by single mothers.
I used this design because it was more interested than just using a regular chart.
I used this text because it just look more standard and better for the eyes. The color just give another feel to the chart.
I wish I could have done more info graphic design on single working moms because I found some more information that is very interesting to know.
You should also know that this was my first time every doing a info graphic and it gave me some great information on how charts or graphs are made.

The reason for me choosing this blog is because mainly I love watching this show. I always stay tuned to every episode, however some people may think this isn't a great show; however, this is entertainment to me. I love gossip and I love watching this show because it is showing the personal lives of these certain entertainers. It may not be appropriate to others, but I look at this show on a  whole different level. This show also bring enlightenment of the character of these various entertainers; which many may never know about; unless they watch the episodes. This reality show bring the audience into their drama of their lives, their personal issues, and even the hard work of these artists trying to keep their status in the entertainment world.
