Top Three Blogs

Lauren Newton's Blog

Visually, Lauren's blog is clean, easy to read and easy on the eyes.  I like that she has used pictures and multimedia (who doesn't love Tom Cruise's Risky Business dancing scene?) to hold interest.  However, where Lauren's blog shines for me is in her writing.  Right from her introduction post I was engaged and looking forward to reading more, her style is personal and you almost feel your sitting having a cup of tea and chatting with her.  The content is informative yet still fun.  She did a great job turning what could have been a very boring company into something interesting.  Her last post on plastic and changing the way we look at it, helping each reader to find a way plastic relates to them (in my case online shopping and Magnum ice creams!), was inspired.

Adrian Zaknic's Blog

I found Adrian's blog really informative, it is clear right from the beginning that Adrian has a good understanding of his company and has done his research, it encouraged me to continue reading his blog and learn with him.  And he very clearly took me on the journey of his company with a very comprehensive overview of the company, their operations and their financial situation.  Adrian has also been very engaged with all his fellow students which endeared him to me.  I found Adrian's blog easy to view, well laid out which encourages reading.  I also liked the nod to his company's shipping via the rainy blog background.

Sheena Mackie's Blog

Sheena is a artist with past experience in writing and this is reflected on her blog immediately.  Visually it is engaging, the use of consistent colour gives it focus and allows you to concentrate on the content.  Her introduction post is welcoming, well written and very personable.  You get a good sense of who she is.  Her next two posts detailing her company are very well researched, she clearly knows her company, well written and engaging which makes learning with her easy. I am looking forward to reading more on her blog even though her company itself does not interest me.  I am invested in her blog because of Sheena as a person and the way this reflects in her content, even when talking figures, armour trucks and railway supplies!
