It’s Just the Beginning of a New Journey

I am so thrilled to be here. I am a lifelong learner and avid reader. I just can't seem to get enough. Every time I think that my journey as a student and learner has come to an end, I soon realize that my life's breath depends on my incessant search for knowledge. So, with that being said…I'm ready for more!
The font that I have chosen for my blog is Rockwell. Typically, my choice runs to the bubblier, curly fonts as it allows me to express my creative side. However, as this is for my readers' benefit, the Rockwell font has a "distinct, bold, confident, good display type." (Reynolds, 2014, p. 40). Since blogging is an entirely new experience for me, it is important that the reader is able to clearly read and navigate through each entry. Being a minimalist is not generally a strong suit for me. Understanding that less is often better, it is important to curb my tendency to add too many details and to keep the fonts and lines clean and easy to read. (Reynolds, 2014, p. 34). It was enlightening to read about creating harmonious relationships within documents and presentations. (Reynolds, 2014, p. 43). Here again is an area that ties in with the less is more philosophy. It is so important to keep the fonts streamlined rather than adding in so much variation.
The creation of Wordles is something that I have always enjoyed doing with my students. I have also used it on my own as a way to organize my thoughts of life in a very creative way. I love the way you can change it in an almost endless number of ways.
