Multimedia and Digital Culture

While I personally don't use social media myself such as Facebook, Twitter, or Instagram this blog still is a web 2.0 element in itself and utilizes interaction through various hyperlinks. My blog's focus is on visual and design elements that intersect with my hobbies and things I like such as the writing and stories written by the author H.P. Lovecraft. I have many hyperlinks within my blog to interact with whether they bring people other websites or pages or to some of the work I have done in digital media. Just recently with my listicle there is a link for each product or item on the list to make them easier to find and locate online. I have an ePortfolio that exist in the blog and might build upon that with other work I have done and include links to them. As I said I rarely use social media but in the future I could possibly see including info for Discord.

The hobby of Warhammer 40,000 can seem kind of daunting at first glance and understandably so. Warhammer 40,000 is a miniature wargame produced by Games Workshop. The game uses models, terrain, rolling dice, and using rules specific to your army. I am going to list some good beginner items to start with when just getting into the hobby. Also I believe these items go for any hobby involving models/painting as well not just Warhammer 40k. Most of if not all of these items can be found on Amazon. Model Kit To start you first need the physical model or pieces to build said model. This part is pretty self explanatory as the rest of the items on this list would be pointless if you don't have the plastic kit to use them on. Some models come in a plastic sprue while others come fully built and ready to start painting. There are different types of material that models can be made from. The most common are usually plastic and resin. I believe plastic to be the preferred material as it is mor...

     I am not set on what I want my listicle to be quite yet but I think I have a few ideas on what I want it to be. I have thought of doing a listicle on magic cards and looking at the most alien, weird, and scary-looking cards that fit a Lovecraftian/Cthulhu theme. I am choosing to do this as it blends one of my hobbies with looking at visual aspects. I have put a good bit of time, thought, and money into looking for these specific cards that fit maddening and strange aspects created by the Lovecraft mythos.     The criteria for these cards will include the name, the art, and the mechanics of the card. I will be looking for stuff that merely fits and not necessarily something that has a direct relation to a creature from Lovecraft's writing although that might occur.

   Hello, this post is to introduce the Writing for Digital Media section of this blog so you may see some things repeated from the about page. In this section I will be discussing my focus a bit more in detail and how I want to merge my hobbies and passions into a worthwhile career. I will give my thoughts on the association between digital media and writing and also mention who some of my digital role models are. To start I wanna mention what my focus for a career is and how my hobbies and passions inspired me towards it. My dream job would be to work at a company like Blizzard designing the visual aspects of video games like doing concept art for instance. I have always been interested in creative aspects as my hobbies include painting/modeling, playing Dungeons & Dragons, playing video games, and reading. I would like to mention that over a few semesters of classes and greatly influenced by my playing of D&D is that I found that I greatly enjoy creative writi...
