Today in class, we discussed important aspects of design, including content strategy, user stories, and visual grammar.
Content strategy involves planning and managing content to meet users' needs and achieve business goals.
Blogging
Blogging is like a stage where people, businesses, and groups share information and ideas. It can be about personal stories, expertise, or interests. Blogs include stories, pictures, and even videos to keep readers engaged. People can also talk to each other in the comments, creating a conversation. So, blogging is a great way to share knowledge, tell stories, and connect with people worldwide.
Self-generated
Self-generated content is material created by individuals or groups themselves, not taken from somewhere else. It's unique and reflects their thoughts and feelings. People appreciate it because it's genuine and shows a personal touch in communication.

Wikipedia + Third-Party Sites
Wikipedia and third-party sites are other websites that use information from Wikipedia in their articles. They do this to support their points or provide more details. This is important because it helps ensure the accuracy of information on Wikipedia. When different websites agree on the same information, it makes it more reliable. These sites also help share knowledge from Wikipedia with more people online.
Importance of Content
Good content in design is crucial for a few reasons. First, it helps users understand how to use a digital interface. Second, it keeps them interested and more likely to stay engaged. Third, it ensures the brand's message is clear and matches its style. Lastly, good content considers different user needs for inclusivity, making it accessible to everyone.
Content curation
Content Curation involves acting as a guide in a large library of information. It's about finding, organising, and sharing the best and most useful content on a specific topic. Curators select the most accurate and interesting pieces to share, which is crucial in today's information overload. Curating content helps provide audiences with a thoughtfully chosen collection of valuable ideas and resources, building trust and uniting people around shared interests.
False content
Fake news, like some stories on channels like Fox News, can really affect people who watch it. When news that isn't true is shown as if it is, it can make people misunderstand what's really going on. This can lead to wrong ideas spreading and people believing things that aren't correct. It can also make people argue more because they believe different things. It's really important for viewers to be careful, check where they get their news, and look at different reliable sources to make sure they have the right picture of what's happening.
