What is style now? Throughout this course we have explored the concept of "style" and how it interacts with technology and affects our writing. We've studied some "style" guides that helped us to get a better understanding of the term "style". As we've all learned from our first blog entries, "Style" means many different things to different people. It also depends on the terms of which you are defining style - it could be fashion, interior decorating, writing and much more.
During this semester, style played a huge role in our writing projects. These projects explored how writing has evolved, the connections between words and images and how writing and style work together in the great world wide web. Each of these projects, although somewhat different in their purpose, all involved some aspect of "style".
As we near the end of this course, I still think style has a lot to do with personal opinion and individuality. We learned about "proper" or "correct" writing styles from Williams, Strunk & White and even McCloud, but I also think that real style is a happy medium between what you learn in books such as the styleguides, and a little bit of your own personal flair.
Bentley! Bentley is my baby - he's much bigger now but he will always be my baby. He is a white boxer, which is hard to find because most breeders kill boxers who have more than one-third white coats. It's considered a genetic defect. There is nothing defective about Bentley. He's a great dog.
