I chose this topic because fashion is the thing I am most passionate about as well as I am an AMDT Fashion major. It is something that is a part of every individual’s life and a choice that is made every day. I think fashion contributes so much to identity and can say so much about a person even before you meet them. It is a way of expressing creativity and character when words can’t. Not only is it a form of identity but can also be used as a way to build ones’ confidence on the outside as well as the inside. To collect original material on campus and in the AMDT building by taking photos of outfits, videos of people in my major who are affected by fashion as well as people who aren’t in my major but still see the importance of everyday fashion, and audio interviews on people and how fashion effects their lives. I will go to different areas on and off campus to get a variety of images that show a diverse group of people and original ideas. For the photo tutorial unit, I am going to take original photos and edit them with different colored overlays that will help make the images stand out on my blog. I want to make the photos visually interesting through the Photoshop process. I am going to take photos of a number of different outfits and create a montage of all the photos together. For the Video unit, I am going to create a video interviewing people on what fashion means to them and how it represents them.

This relates to my topic extensively and will guide many of my ideas.

This is about fashion and identity and how the two relate and correlate.

What Impact Has Social Media Had On The Fashion Industry?

 This topic is super important because fashion has been significantly altered due to social media and this will help guide my topic and my unit projects.

This is an example post, originally published as part of Blogging University. Enroll in one of our ten programs, and start your blog right.

You’re going to publish a post today. Don’t worry about how your blog looks. Don’t worry if you haven’t given it a name yet, or you’re feeling overwhelmed. Just click the “New Post” button, and tell us why you’re here.

Why do this?

• Because it gives new readers context. What are you about? Why should they read your blog?
• Because it will help you focus you own ideas about your blog and what you’d like to do with it.

The post can be short or long, a personal intro to your life or a bloggy mission statement, a manifesto for the future or a simple outline of your the types of things you hope to publish.

To help you get started, here are a few questions:

• Why are you blogging publicly, rather than keeping a personal journal?
• What topics do you think you’ll write about?
• Who would you love to connect with via your blog?
• If you blog successfully throughout the next year, what would you hope to have accomplished?

You’re not locked into any of this; one of the wonderful things about blogs is how they constantly evolve as we learn, grow, and interact with one another — but it’s good to know where and why you started, and articulating your goals may just give you a few other post ideas.

Can’t think how to get started? Just write the first thing that pops into your head. Anne Lamott, author of a book on writing we love, says that you need to give yourself permission to write a “crappy first draft”. Anne makes a great point — just start writing, and worry about editing it later.

When you’re ready to publish, give your post three to five tags that describe your blog’s focus — writing, photography, fiction, parenting, food, cars, movies, sports, whatever. These tags will help others who care about your topics find you in the Reader. Make sure one of the tags is “zerotohero,” so other new bloggers can find you, too.
