Identity Project (In-Progress)

Hello audience members if you’re reading this blog. For the past few days, I have been laying out ideas for what images I want to have on my website for you guys. I have had different ideas crossing my mind on what I should appeal to you guys and I may have figured it out. It’s not very innovative but at least for me it could be something that could appeal to you and other people that may stumble upon this site. 

The first image I will present is something I want to be very recognizable to the people, something that will have people saying it’s from my website, an image that will be associated with my website and make it synonymous with who I am and what this image represents. I plan to use this image to be my favicon for my website to have you guys see that my vision and identity is different from everyone else. I personally intend to have this image or this favicon in case to be unique and to be the main image of my website and that way people will recognize it and say it’s from my website. I want this image to help spread the word on my website and hopefully reach out to even more people. 

The favicon has three bars going up which represents going upwards or forward and that is what I want my progression of my personal website to be at. The second image I have presented is just a header image that will be in place when you open up the website. It’s nothing really fancy but this is what I started out for a header image. In the future, I could redesign my header image to be detailed and have possibly different texts but also simple but right now, I’ll start off with that. 

I used LogoMakr and Canva to design my favicon and header image. First with LogoMakr, it’s a really good and simple digital tool to help pitch my design for my website images and it’s free to use and download, however, I had to pay if I wanted my downloaded image/logo to have high quality. Then with Canva, it’s a good tool to make my header image for my website and it’s not very complex to use at all. Had little to no issues using their tools and I felt confident with picking out designs for it.

In conclusion, I want my website project to have the best outcome for myself and my audience and I will or have achieved my goals because of my implications I brainstormed and designed with what knowledge I have. I will have achieved my goals if my website gained some sort of following or traction via people talking about it on social media.

Investigating the world of AI

Opening/Introduction

Generative AI is a form of artificial intelligence that we use to create new stuff such as text, photos, music, and a virtual environment. It also helps us answer any questions that we sometimes struggle with and give us a definite baseplate for us to form our thoughts. In this case, I asked ChatGPT one of the biggest questions out there that is; are we alone in the universe? This question is huge considering many people can have very different opinions on that question, some say yes we are alone while others say, no we are not alone, the answers may vary.

Benefits of AI

Speaking of the topic of AI, there are a lot of positives with using AI in everyday life. One of them is the possibility of vastly changing creativity in the workforce, it can help us give us a better understanding of the jobs we do today and also gets us to brainstorm our ideas faster and also get our work done significantly faster than we did before the emergence of AI. It can be a great tool if it’s used properly as a brainstorming tool. 

Biases

When I was using ChatGPT to figure out the answer of my question, it gave me a pretty neutral answer, it never stated that “yes, we are alone in the universe” or no, we are not alone in the universe”, it just stated that we don’t know if we’re alone or not. It never believed in an opinion about it. Also, when explaining the answer, it never gave me the source of the information that it gave me, it just talked about the stuff that we built to explore space so I assume it wasn’t copyrighted since I found out that none of the explanations were copyrighted

Conclusion

In summary, ChatGPT/generative AI gives you a non-biased answer to a question that is based around opinions. It gives you explanations that are non-copyrighted from other websites and also explains the answer to the question in an organized way. Lastly, it’s a good tool to help brainstorm ideas and expand our thoughts and knowledge.

My Digital Audience Letter

Hello, my name is Joshua Reyes and welcome to my website. This website is about my beliefs and analysis on sneakers, especially in today’s world of style and sneakers and how people’s choice of footwear has changed throughout the years. I want to cover this topic because I realized how much people’s style and especially their choice of shoes have evolved as they move on in their lives and also the years that have passed. My goal is to inform my audience about the history of sneakers and how the sneaker culture has changed throughout the years because it’s a subject that isn’t talked about enough and it’s also something not many people have great knowledge about and this is basically what my website is for, people who are interested in sneakers/style. 

I also have other different goals that I want to achieve with my website such as building a sizable following of what I do and what I talk about on the site. Occasionally, I could start writing up facts and some brief history about the most well-known sneakers out there such as the Air Jordan 1 and Nike Dunk Lows, two of the most popular sneakers on the market right now. My primary focus for the website is about the sneaker culture of today but I can also branch out to sub-topics of sneakers such as men’s fashion. I hope that you enjoy my website and contact me with some feedback.
