Linking Assignment 1 \u2013 Task 8: Golden Record Curation<\/u><\/strong><\/h2>\n

I decided on a linking assignment to Brian\u2019s blog on the Golden Record Curation.\u00a0 When I completed task nine which was the network assignment using the Golden Record, I was in group two with one of the members being Brain.\u00a0\u00a0 After analyzing the data using the Palladio tool, the graph showed that in my group, I had four songs that were not connected to anyone while Brian had only one.\u00a0 Brian seem to be a central node where his songs had connections with everyone in the group.\u00a0 Thus, I was intrigued.<\/p>\n

This was a straightforward task where we had to pick ten songs out of the twenty-seven songs.\u00a0 I think it is the process that gives this task individuality.<\/p>\n

It\u2019s interesting that Brian and I had the same goal in that we wanted to have a list of songs that would represent different geographical places and have as much cultural diversity in sound and instruments.\u00a0 However, our approach in choosing the list was completely different.\u00a0 I went in a very methodical way by picking different countries first, then adding songs that would give a glimpse of culture, and then moving on to picking instruments to complete the list.\u00a0 While I enjoy listening to different kinds of music, Brian\u2019s post showed his background knowledge in the history as well as his talent in knowing the different instruments and how each functioned.\u00a0 He was able to give a comprehensive detailed reason for each of his choice.\u00a0 I enjoyed reading the historical background he gave for the songs he picked.<\/p>\n

To complete this task, we both relied heavily on text without audio or visual but Brian\u2019s post had different font sizes and spaces between paragraphs that gave an interesting texture to the text.\u00a0 Our layout was completely different from each other.\u00a0 I wrote my top ten list first and then wrote my thinking process in a paragraph after. Brian did the opposite and delineated his process as a beginning paragraph followed by his detailed list with an information blurb under each one.\u00a0 Looking at his layout, I could see that his post was easier to read because his introduction set the stage for the reader on what is about to follow.\u00a0 As well, the larger font size and bigger spaces between paragraph made it easier to read.<\/p>\n

Both of us used UBC WordPress as our online platform.\u00a0 Brian\u2019s website was not distracting and it was easy to navigate.\u00a0 He had a clear vision of how he wanted his website to look like and I had a feeling of being in a mellow jazz lounge.\u00a0 Even though his cover page was black with an outline of a person, it was still an impactful image and his home page with a picture of him and a short biography.\u00a0 This is my first time using WordPress and this just made me realize that I don\u2019t have a home page.\u00a0 The only part I wondered about was that I had to scroll to the bottom of the page in order to find links to other posts.\u00a0 However, if the headings were at the top or as a side bar, it would deter the clean and sleek image of the post.\u00a0 I do like that the website had two very clear headings for recent posts and comments.\u00a0 I also found it useful to have the tasks numbered in chronological order for the reader, whereas I had a mixture where some tasks were numbered and others weren\u2019t.\u00a0 Thank you Brian for the interesting post on the Golden Record !<\/p>\n
