Blog Assignment #7

I have many thoughts about what all I am going to do for artifact #2.  I am going to be creating a website.  I have taken a website design class over using Adobe Dreamweaver and I also have the program so that’s what I will be using to create artifact #2.  I also have liked Dreamweaver as a website design tool so I feel that there is no reason to switch.

I feel that making a webpage is going to be a lot of work and much more time consuming than other artifacts I could do but I think that I will be able to have some fun with it and that it will kind of tie into my last artifact which was a brochure.  It will connect because the brochure was a simplified way to tell the information and to make the viewer want to learn more which is when the webpage comes in.  My webpage will have a lot more detail and will be able to have many links to other sources that include good information.

The time is the only thing that is going to be more challenging but I feel that this is the time to do it since spring break I will have a lot of time to get things done if I start to fall behind and it will help to not rush me through it so that I can create a webpage that I will like and that would be useful for the viewers.

Blog Assignment #6

For my artifact I wanted it to give a simple to the point information about precision agriculture.  I decided that the brochure would be the way to go.  In doing this I decided that I needed to take a lot of information and combined it into smaller terms.  I then decided what I would want them to look at first and what I felt was more important.  I tried to tell them what precision agriculture was before they got into the other details so they would have a clue on what it would be dealing with.

I believe that I added a table to help show some cost and listed what all there is to precision agriculture to give the viewer a better thought on what all would be needed. I think that if someone were to come pick up the brochure they would be able to read it quickly but still get a good idea on what is going on in the precision agriculture world.  I feel that brochures are made to just clearly explain what you are trying to get across and then maybe having a more in detail report that they could look at if they thought they would be interested in it.

I have been learning a lot of stuff about this topic too and feel that it is really going help me out since it has a lot to do with why I am going to college and what I am going to college for.  It is also a lot more entertaining and easier to stay focused.
