This week I have started my third semester as an MLIS student at the University of South Florida and among other courses, I am taking LIS 5315—a.k.a. Instructional Graphics. This presents an excellent and unexpected opportunity because a major course requirement is to keep a weekly blog about design as related to websites, books, and articles we are reviewing in the course. Enter my somewhat under-utilized blog, Writing-It-All-Down. As luck would have it, I already talk about my favorite topics—art and design—in this forum, and now I will have some external motivation to post here on an extremely regular basis. I am looking forward to delving deeper into the concepts behind excellent design and to engaging in some fierce critique of web resources—I am almost getting nostalgic for my MFA weekly critique days just thinking about it… And by the way, critique is best suited to a dialogue so please feel free to comment often and on whatever interests you. If you want to closely track my class progress as I work through web design challenges and opportunities just check out the handily labeled posts—1.1, 1.2, 2.2, and so forth (the first number relays the week of the semester, the second number charts the frequency of posts related to a particular set of weekly topics).
So, here’s to good design, honest commentary, and a great semester.
