Week 13

For my final webtext, I need to do more research for it. Such as the color part, the point is weak and I need more evidence for it. I also want to find more pictures to illustrate my webtext vividly because some of the names were used a long time ago. My audience may not quite understand them. Pictures will help them learn it better. Language problem is another issue I need to concern for my final webtext. There are some grammar errors I need to fix and some sentences I need to revise.

My webtext fits our webzine because the topic I choose is entertaining. Although fashion has become more commercial, it is still very pleasant for our visual aims. I am sure my audience will enjoy my topic. Also, I did research for my topic, just like my other fellow students. We did the same process for our topics. That’s important because we will put our webtext together as a whole project.

week 12. Part 2.

1. The website “The history of 20^th Century Fashion” tell us about a brief idea of how the clothing, hair, cosmetics and foot ware looked like. This text gave me an idea of the 20^th century fashion industry and helped me begin my webtext. But there is not enough information for me to continue the text. What the author wrote on the website is not specific but in clear categories. So it still helped me to organize my text.

2. 2. The essay “Pants and the Feminist” written by Paula Baxter pointed out that feminism seemed to be out of fashion. I took this as a resource for my text because the author got a very different idea about fashion and feminism. It is somehow against my text. I think it could make my text more objective. However, I need more text to support my idea. Therefore, I just mentioned it a little in my webtext.

3. 3. The journal “Fashion is New Form of Expression for Feminists” is the opposite of “Pants and the Feminist”. It talked about how fashion was used by feminists to make political statement. It is a good support to my idea. It also talked about how fashion helped feminism in the history. It can be used in every category of my webtext.

4. I prefer to find my resources in the library because they are more reliable. But the resources are quite limited too. The internet has the resources from all over the world. It’s a lot easier to find a useful piece of information. I will try to find my resource in the library first and then look up on line.
