Week 1 Task

For this task I chose http://ohdearmybrainisleaking.blogspot.com/ after reading a bit of each of the suggested blogs.

Who's writing, and how do you perceive them to be?

The writer is John. A (doesn’t say his full surname). He seems to be a student in the 2^nd or 3^rd year of study (I think probably 2^nd due to a comment he makes about 3^rd years) at De’Montfort University on the Game Art course.

Does blogging strike you as objective or more personal?

From what I've read it seems to be able to be both and which it is depends on the writer and what they’re writing about.

How often do they write, what do they write about?

He writes relatively often (up until the summer holidays where he stopped writing as much due to a lack of weekly blogging task) primarily because he needs to do the weekly blogging task however he does make a number of un-course related posts.

Most of what he writes about is the weekly blogging task for the Game Art course. When he’s not writing for the course he’s writing about his personal experiences and opinions.

How do you see yourself using a blog?

I see myself trying to write more than is needed for each weekly Game Art blogging task but falling short of that aim. I will most likely try to include as many jokes and witticisms (I think that’s what they’re called) as I can without doing to many but chances are I'l be the only person who finds them funny.

Do you feel comfortable writing for an invisible audience for example?

Depends entirely on what the subject is but I don’t see me being uncomfortable writing about things related to this course.
