I found a good one!

Now I am not the type to analyse, it’s never really been a strong suit of mine, I hate to make people feel inferior, or point out their faults, but I suppose it is needed for personal growth and development, so here goes.
When asked to review a fellow journalism students blog I chose “cowANDchickenANDcoward”, first of the name of the blog is not nearly as compelling and interesting as many of the other blogs, such as “F[read]om Writers”, however, it does offer some great aspects. Let’s start at the beginning, before seeing/reading this blog, a reader should expect a wide range of different story types and genres, with a very stimulating visual canvas. When first arriving at the blog there is a background which is very comical and whimsical, this suits its cartoon inspired title, with three main colours, blue, white and black. Whist a constant coloured background can be very decorative the use of only three colours on the whole blog makes it very one dimensional. However, the blog does include many pictures, which sometimes breaks the constant colour code of black white and blue. These pictures are very complimentary to the blogs, offering the reader a helpful visual when reading. The stories/blogs themselves are mostly well written, with very incising headlines, such as “ Dope time or Doped out?” and “ Fruitless Feminism, but you gotta love Friedan”, these are very successful in drawing in readers, and are insightful and well structured.

I found this blog to be a well rounded and interesting, I would advise any person who was interested in knowing about the adventures of journalism students, or even to just read a good story to take the time and go view this blog.
