!!THESE ARE THE QUESTIONS!!

1. explain why you chose the blog topic? Our blog topic is about animation. We chose this topic because all of us are animation enthusiasts and it brings us a lot of interests especially in our childhood. We find many informations about animation, but we only choose those animes that we are familar with or love it.Another reason is that there is some visual impact on some animes such like Final Fantasy VII we post on the blog. Animation has high quality images and sound effort. The story of anime is very wonderful and attractive.The type of animation we emphasis on is 2D and 3D animation. It includes clay animation, Disney cartoon, Japanese 3D movies, TV series and American 3D animation movies. We could share our interests with other anime fans and compare our blog with them. That's why we chose the blog topic

2.What were the largest challenges with a team assignment? A team assignment faces a lot of challenges in terms of unequal participation, limiting creativity, longer process,no team player and group conflict.The most challenging part should be no team player and group conflict. We have limited time on our blog and every group member have his or her own assignments for other units. The difficulty we meet together increases the potential disadvantage of less time focusing on our topic. To determine our blog design layout or content on the blog, we dicuss on the Twitter or Wikispaces. Wikispaces solve the problem that we don't need to face to face meeting.However, sometimes we work on our own part and appears some conflicts with other group member. For example, Ryan doesn't agree with one of group members' post,so he deletes that post. This will result in a conflict of blog content. Everyone has his or her own ideas and it's hard to unify their opinions. A conflict between members will reduce the congruity of teamwork.The effiency of our teamwork decreases and we spent more time on our blog.

3. How did you come up with the final design that you used? Firstly, we would like to search on the website and find some beautiful and creative blog design.Then, we start designing our background, which readers can read what we are talking about. we think about simple background and color, simple as that. But we realize that simple is not good enough for us, therefore, we decide to use the color and background that is compliance with our topic, we use different background that is not "stand out" because we want others notice what we are discussing. Cartoon Castle is our background topic. it doesn't have any meaning but its color matches with our wants. Also, we do some changes on our design layout. We add some gadgets and name it Anilook,Anicome,Anichive so as to increase our blog's function. The name we consider satisfy the topic. The font color we used is great different from background color.That will make our blog look clear and readable. Basically, the blog only shows 7 posts per page. The reason is that we don't expect our post content is too much on one side.The Title we put Anymation is kind of like slang because we hope that our topic will be funny. The whole idea is interesting animation and happy vistors.

4.Compare a blog that has similar content to yourself, critically analyse your site comparing there? http://www.animationblog.org >> this is the blog that owned by 1 person only. he talk about many things that we basically not know. his blog not only talk about animation goodies (like movies, film etc) but also talk about everything that we should learn. our blog still need a professional touch and opinions to make our blog reliable. we are amateur as you know and we just talk what we think and what we wanted to talk. It describes our feelings and our thought about animation we discussed there.
