The process of completing this work in Tumblr allows me to explore the possibilities of using a new media form that is beneficial in life. Using Tumblr as a way to present my ideas and work is much different than the old school paper and ink. Since I have a Tumblr account myself, knowing how to work it and using the different functions is not challenging. The perk of knowing how to work Tumblr can save a lot of time compared to paper and ink. To be honest, paper and ink takes quite some time for me because with these type of projects I tend to make all my work presentable such as going creative and using scrapbooking techniques. Tumblr has now saved me a lot of my time because I can easily find pictures on Tumblr by searching on the search engine and clicking reblog to post on my Tumblr page. I can also incorporate video links to present ideas.
Information and ideas are still communicated fully on Tumblr compared to paper and ink. I am still using Microsoft Work to write all my work in order to retain my information and edit drafts which are then pasted into a Tumblr post. Even though I am using a media form to communicate my ideas, all the information needed to come out still comes out. I can write the information and add pictures along just as if I would when writing a typed document. You can now visual all elements to the project by a click rather than shuffling through all the typed papers to look for one thing.
Using Tumblr to complete the work is more convenient and accessible. Since it is internet-based, wherever I have access to the internet I can easily work on this project. Once I’ve posted my work, I can easily edit and delete it whereas with paper and ink I will have to start all over or whiteout. Tumblr ensures organization and efficiency. Using Tumblr also enables me to not having to worry about losing all my work. Someone who is not familiar with using the new media forms may think using Tumblr as a disadvantage due to the amount of time they spend figuring out how to use it. Since Tumblr involves the use of electronic devices (laptop, computer, phones) the device could perhaps crash and all of the work could vanish.
Tumblr has shaped the content and meaning of my work in many ways. Some of these ways are presenting the information in a neat and organized fashion, more presentable to audiences, and easily getting my idea across. I can easily make my Tumblr look good and presentable by using visuals, colours, and designs. The incorporation of pictures and videos help me the get meaning out.
