Pop Culture: Blog Tracker Tutorial & More Info About Class and Things!

Here's a tutorial to help you post your blogs to the blog tracker. 



SHOW YOUR THINKING.
Blog. Design a Band.  Complete that design work.

Here is the 2nd blogging assignment listed on the design-a-band post.  (In case you missed it!)
6. In a separate blog post, choose an artist or band you enjoy.  Select an album by that performer. Explore the relationship between the artist's name, the album's name, and the cover art for that album.  To what extent do they align?  Where do you see a clear relationship between the visuals and the music?  Where do you see it not working out?  What about the band's logo or the font used on the album cover?
One to two descriptive paragraphs with visuals to illustrate.
Extra helpful?  Embed some Vimeo links or Spotify links or other ways of proving your point through the music.
