If I
could be a rock start for a day, I’d be:
Emily Haines. No one can rock out on a synthesizer on stage
like she can, and look as good as she does while doing it.Quiet is the New Loud
Hey Allie,
ReplyDeleteI absolutely love the title to your blog. A title can catch the attention of person enough to bring them to the page even in the middle of searching for something else. Quiet is the New Loud is one of those sayings that should be the title of a movie or television series. I see that you did update the visuals of your blog from my last visit. It is brighter which I love. White is very clean and attractive to look at. What I also like about your blog are the additional pictures you have added. They work excellently in breaking up the text with something stimulating for the eyes.
My only critique is in the domain choice for your blog. I understand you reasoning for choosing it, but my experience in the media industry has taught me a few things. The first thing is appeal. It needs to look good and sound good. Have you imagined telling a friend about your blog? If not, then you should. Tell them to visit your blog then give them the URL. You might find you would have to spell it out a couple of times and they could still misspell it because it is not a traditional or recognizable word. More like an acronym. I would like to see the domain name as the new loud if it’s available. It is still attractive and conveys the message of your blog. It would also look appealing if I saw it anywhere. http://thenewloud.blogspot.com/. Overall, your blog is excellent. Great work!
