In relation to visuals, what would you propose to St. Clair College to improve/enhance this new website to effectively market to potential incoming local domestic students. Please provide three (3) recommendations and justify your answer with detailed reasoning. (9 Marks)
In my opinion, St Clair College’s website lacks a lot of visuals, and I don’t feel like they’re effective enough whatsoever, and it definitely doesn’t make me want to keep going through other pages to seek more information. They could also definitely include a section on their homepage about their sports because St Clair college… Read more

b. Explain in detail why the image(s) was beneficial for the post. (3 Marks)
I picked these pictures because they help show and convey my business’s message. Instead of using words, I picked the most effective pictures that show what I’m trying to showcase to my visitors because sometimes text does not amount at all to the effectiveness that pictures have on people. Each picture shows a different part… Read more

2. This is a multi-part question. Please create a visual post for your blog on a topic specific to your business and answer the questions below. This involves critical thinking. What is important to your business and visitors? The image must be the focal point of the post telling the story or conveying a point. You may include multiple images. The goal is to visually convey a message with minimal text. Please pay attention to what was discussed in class. Ensure that you include a link to the blog post in your answer. Do not forget that this needs to be included in your hardcopy. I am marking what you hand in with your hardcopy but also need to see the digital version on your blog. If it is not online for me to view (in addition to the hardcopy), I cannot mark this question. (4 Marks)

As discussed in class, please provide three reasons why visuals are important to web content. Please ensure you go into detail for each item. (6 Marks)
In todays day and date, people do not have the time or attention span to read long paragraphs, especially when it comes to reading content online like websites or social media.

4. For question #2, what did you do differently from the original post? Please outline, explain and justify what you changed & why. Essentially, what did you learn from this new topic and what did you change and why. (8 Marks)
When I rewrote my original F-pattern post to make it better, I made some changes to improve the clarity and readability of my written content, as well as the engagement that people can take after reading my content. I made these changes based on what we’ve learned so far about plain English writing principles and… Read more

b. What was the most challenging aspect of applying the F-Pattern and Plain English writing principles? How did you overcome it? (5 Marks)
I think the most difficult part of rewriting my f-pattern to follow the 3 objectives for plain English writing was carefully balancing all of my details while keeping them simple and straight to the point. I wanted to explain everything, but I knew that too much text and information would overwhelm readers. Sometimes I have… Read more

a. Describe one specific technique you used to improve readability in your revised version and explain why it is effective. (4 Marks)
A specific technique that I use to improve the readability of my content was to add descriptions to the bullet points in the service lists because my original introductory paragraph only had the services with no extra information, so for my updated version I decided to add short and clear descriptions of what the reader… Read more
