Hey Everyone,
Just a quick one today, possibly more interesting to some than others too. I’m talking Wedding Dresses believe it or not. More specifically, which one would you choose? With all the hype around who will designated the greatly anticipated job of creating Kate Middleton’s infamous design, this gem of an article is a perfect example of how a Web 1.0 technology is so limited in contrast to Web 2.0.
Whether you choose ‘The Society Favourite’ over the ‘Boho Queen’, you can clearly see the very direct concept of such a ‘one way’ technology. Here, the writer ‘Gemma Soames publishes the article with merely six, and six only options implying nothing so much as an extra frill here or an extra sequin there will do. What clearer way to try to totally influence the reader in a sense. The creator here composed the content, publishes it for the reader to read and the reader consumes and ultimately believes entirely that is the only way their wedding day will be perfect for the Spring Trends of 2011 in this specific case. It sounds so terribly corrupt, but I would admit, if I were at a point in my life to be having to choose a wedding dress, would I dare to break the mould and risk not choosing one the ‘must have’ designs. In all honestly, I would be extremely tempted to play it safe hope that Kate and I would both be walking down the isle in either ‘The British Fashion Star’ or ‘The Designer Friend’….
Check it you if you fancy it, Page 22 and 23 of ‘The Sunday Times Magazine’, dated 30/11/2011. The Article itself is called ‘Britain’s Dream Bride’.

Hi you are really getting the blogging down. have you tried to make a flicker page or make a youtube post yet? Have you started to look at the second module tasks 2 (a-d). They are about reflection. You might find that some of the different ways suggested for writing reflections might be fun to do as blogs.
