The first thing that struck me about White Wave was Genevieve’s mature use of colour; red, grey, white and blue. This instantly gives her blog the feeling of an experienced designer. I would assume that she has been exposed to many images and art works in her prior education and in her life.
Genevieve is confident in her use of text. She writes beautifully. Genevieve writes in the first person, making her blog personal and interesting to read.
Examples can be found in her post old vs. new (posted on Friday August 13th 2010), “i love this modern take on the 'cameo'”, “the reason i love it”, “when i think”.
Regarding her blog, Genevieve states that she “enjoyed starting it” but that she does “find it more therapeutic to write in the design diary.” She also states that although she thinks that blogging is a good tool, it “becomes too time consuming”. I feel that in a few more posts time, Genevieve will find that a blog is less time consuming than she originally thought and she will find means of expressing herself by scanning in and posting sketches and drawings.
Despite her doubts, Genevieve does feel that a blog is a useful tool for jewellery designers and design students as “it helps people share ideas and communicate between themselves”
Overall, her blog is a brilliant example of the successful use of colour, images and text to communicate with her reader.
