F(read)om Writers. Really?

I have been following this blog since our task as Journ students was to create and master the art of blogging. In the introductory, it states that this is a blog made up of the minds of three different people. Different minds, different backgrounds, all explained and introduced. I enjoyed it in the beginning and that enjoyment continued.

Like all students with lives only the necessary posts were added, but they all meant something and that was reflected in the writing. Their photos were another representation of that.
With a simple layout and a background which represents every paper-clip owners collection, it was easy to look at and not too damaging on the eye. The topics were well written, having substantial research and information posted.

I was disappointed with the lack of living up to the name however. With ‘read’ so emphasised within freedom I was expecting more on literature and writing of journalists and, well, freedom. But I am guessing that it is just representing the act of writing and the idea that what the members write is their own choice.

A good use of photographs were also present, which is becoming such an important way to communicate since people are becoming lazy and would rather get the story from a picture rather than reading a whole post.

Even though I did enjoy it, I don’t think that it is that stimulating for everyone, maybe once in a while for a light glance over it. It was probably just the name that attracted me in the first place anyways.
