The wiki is completed. This was not an easy feat. The programme is flawed and frustrating.
When we were creating our pages things would randomly change themselves, wiki was teasing us and we were not amused!
I very much enjoyed finding the images to put on the wiki to go with our text. i think that my strengths for this project certainly lie in this area. Im very happy with the end result. The wiki is slick. It is clear, concise and the content is intelligent and intresting. This project was not easy. I think that myself and the rest of the group found it difficult to get our heads around the conept of the project brief in terms of how we were going to approach and explore the subject of identity and also how to use the technology available to us.
However once we decided what themes and issues around identity we were going to cover and got into deciding the colours and the layout in the wiki the project became much more enjoyable.
I am happy to have done this project as i feel its of the up most importance that we get to grips with new media, both technology and the different creative and journalistic avenues the medium alows.

love the media guardian......
In our class today the discussion led to the way which journalism is changing today. Much of the class thought that in the future newspapers will become extinct. An future i found my reaction to be one quite sad and scary.
On my way home i decided to buy a copy of the Guardian, The Sun, The Mirror and The Indipendent. I wanted to weigh up what i get from a newspaper. Is it better to hold the material object one buys rather than clicking through the internet version for free?
I found my reaction to be what i thought before. Although the papers content is news and comment in many ways i think them to be artistic objects. I see the all important factors of text, image and layout are representational of a social cultural comment. One in which the newspaper one buys can only truly transgress. For example The Guardians amazing daily 2 page photograph center piece, supplement magazines, recipe cards and posters. With all these extras as well as the process of reading through the paper itself i believe one is getting a sensual experience as well as just absorbing the information.
The process of reading the papers over breakfast, on a sunday in the pub with a roast....Surely not nearly as enjoyable online?
