Sem 2 finally is over. Classes and tutorials was difficult but I've gained something useful as a media student, which is very useful for media publishing and design. This blog has come to an end. I've learned the theories such as framing and salience, and from experienced author Kress and van Leeuwen (2009), blogging is not a very hard thing for me anymore. I also learned not to post sensitive issue in my blog because it might hurt the readers feeling. Because my audience comes from different cultural and their language is different from mine (Walsh, 2006). Reep (2006) also taught me how to use color enhance a document design's usability. The importance of being careful in what I wanted to write in my posts. And never steal others people's contents and return credits to the author (Tan, 2007). Therefore it is important to cited my work.
Lastly, I learned about not to plagiarize other people's work. We as a student have to come up with out own work because the experience of blogging is learned by ourselves, but not people.
