First Blog Post
For this project I was asked to make a blog to showcase healthy eating that is also affordable. The topic I choose to research is something I hold close to me given my circumstances. My freshman year I was diagnosed as a Type 1 Diabetic, and I had to adjust my lifestyle accordingly to keep my health under control. Healthy eating not only fuels your body and gives you more energy but also gives you a sense of control that gives you the ability to wake up in the morning and crush the tasks necessary. A quote that resonates with me on this topic was said by Mahatma Gandhi; “It is health that is real wealth and not pieces of gold and silver.”
Header Blog Post
My header helps support my theme of helping eating. To visually help support my theme I made my header a picture of healthy foods . I feel that this theme is very important because many people see eating healthy food as being expensive or lacking flavor so people resulted to eating unhealthy food that is cheaper or just bad for them. Being a college student I know many other students who struggle with paying for food and wish they can afford healthier food. So to target my audience I have my made y header catchy with a picture of healthy food. I found my picture on Flicker by Marco Verch. To create my header was a complex process. First I found a image from google which was owned by BBC. Then I revived the image by Marco Verch. Following that I used Pixlr which is an editing app. This app helped me put my image on top of the other picture. This process is more complex than just using single layer bit-map because it requires you to stack other pictures on other which requires more editing.
Personal Blog Post
I bet many of you are wondering how fitness can be related with relationships? No need to worry I am going to tell you. In a generation that is driven by social media you can meet so many people through instagram as well as twitter that can connect people with similar interest together. Many fitness groups have connected through social media. I know personally I joined Rutgers running club because of social media. I ran in highschool and loved being part of team so when I came to Rutgers I was nervous because the school is so big but I thank instagram for helping me find this club. Health and fitness is a topic that sometimes people feel weird about it but I have found that social media can connect people together that are sharing the same journey that you are on if that it either to lose weight or to just feel good about yourself. I know when I started my fitness journey I thought I was alone and people didn’t understand what I was going through but I found many blogs about people that were sharing their journey and motivated me to keep going as well as giving helpful hints. Below I have attached the Rutgers club instagram page as well as blog that I follow that share great healthy food recipes.

Video Blog Post
My first time using screencasting I found the experience to be simple and easy to navigate. Being able to pick my own website was knowledge and inspirational because it allowed me to learn from Aggie . I feel that the website I choose ( Aggie’s Kitchen ) kept it simple and aesthetically pleasing. She made it easy for people looking for easy recipes , travel as well as wellness and lifestyle to find a blog where they can see post as well as connect with other people. This blog also linked the products mentioned in the post. Each tab on the blog was well thought out allowing others to have many different options on what they want learn about and cook. Even though this blog does not have the same topic as my blog it is very similar it has helped me in the future with my blog post.

Week 14 Assignment
The memes that I choose connect to my topic as well as relates to my target audience. The memes listed below all relate to food. For example, one of the memes I have choose is about this famous you tuber who is known for his cooking. On his channel he is known for recreating recipes as well as creating his own. My audience will be able to connect with the content because its foods that must people like as well as giving them knowledge about the food. Based on Davidson the memes I have choose have similar ideals but each are connected differently. Davidson mentioned how each meme can have different functions when displaying information. Memes are things that are shared between people through many different social media platforms. The memes I have choose manifest from topics about food and food history of certain food products. Certain manifestations can appeal to my topic because sometimes these memes I have choose the topics and questions do come up in food blogs.
