Micro-assignment: Peanut Butter Pie

A cold, creamy, crunchy combination of peanut butter, chocolate, ice cream, and graham. Deliciously mouthwatering, an unmatched sensation.

bad choices

Just going to the MySlice website and looking at the MySlice "logo" in the top left corner, I noticed how although MySlice is supposed to be one word and is throughout the webpage, the logo is spaced so it looks like two words. Also, the typeface has serifs and has strong vertical lines, which I feel isn't well suited for the name because since we are the "Orange" and the name MySlice is related to oranges, I feel a more rounded typeface using geometric shapes, esp. the circle would be a better choice.
Another example of badly used type I encountered was in a book of mine title "Leaderless Jihad." The title features Leaderless in a typeface with a high x-height, positioned on top of Jihad, in the same typeface but in a larger point. The 'L' in Leaderless is kerned poorly so that it looks much further away from the 'E' than do the other letters in relation to each other. Also, I didn't agree with the choice of having the same typeface for both words. The typeface employed was sans-serif, bold, and Gotham-like but lacked any effect. It made the title look very boring and unappealing and that can lead the casual observer to assume the book is as well.

A decadent, dreamy, delicious slice of chocolate cake with creamy milk chocolate shavings and frosting resting between three layers of heaven.

Micro-Assignment! Deadline-Monday 10 a.m.

Welcome all of you!

So, you've finally made it here. Great! Now the next step is to figure out how to blog. Many of you may be fluent with this already. Whether you are or not, I expect this assignment will quite literally be a 'piece of cake' for you. Before you can do anything else, I would like all of you to do a quick test post. Follow these instructions:

1) Click 'New Post' on your top right. In the main text area, write a line or two about your favorite dessert. Be specific- talk about colors, aromas, textures.
2) Download a picture of your favorite dessert from google images. (It does not have to be exactly what you described, just find something close enough. But only JPEGS of medium size, around 100kb please).
3) Upload your picture to blogger. To do this, click on the small image of the scenery near the spell check icon. Choose the file from your saved location and follow the steps till you hit the 'done' button.
3)Title your posts relevantly, as mentioned in the handout.
4) Meta-tag it.
5) Publish your post.

This is fairly simple. It should not take you more than 10 minutes to do. The purpose of this micro-assignment is to find out if any of you need more help with the basics of blogging. I will publish an example to show you how it's done. It's due Monday at 10 a.m. and have fun while you're at it!
