19 - Classmate Blog Critique - Isaiah Calvert

 



Savannah’s blog immediately stands out for its clean, elegant presentation and well-organized layout. From the floral header graphics to the balanced spacing of text and images, the site feels visually inviting and easy to navigate. Her use of soft colors, refined typography, and consistent image framing gives the blog a polished, professional look. The design choices work together to create a calm reading environment that matches her writing voice—thoughtful, careful, and detail-oriented. Even at a glance, the blog communicates that she takes pride in her work and understands the importance of visual clarity in digital writing.



Across her posts, Savannah demonstrates a level of consistency that reflects strong engagement with each assignment. Every entry includes a visually relevant cover image, a clear title, and writing that shows attention to detail. Whether she is covering campus news, public records, or entertainment trends, her tone remains steady and professional. The posts feel well researched, showing that she went beyond the minimum requirements to fully understand her topic. This consistency not only strengthens her credibility as a writer but also makes her blog feel cohesive. Each post works as part of a larger, thoughtfully curated body of work.




One of the most impressive examples of Savannah’s strengths is her post on (Numeracy). Her discussion of the government shutdown and SNAP benefits gives the post real-world weight, showing how numeracy affects daily life and public policy. The supporting charts and graphics are especially effective—they help visualize the statistical ideas she describes and make the information easier to grasp. By combining clear explanations with meaningful visual aids, Savannah not only demonstrates strong writing skills but also shows an understanding of how journalists use data to inform readers. This post, more than any other, highlights her ability to communicate complex information with clarity and purpose.
