yijingc--Assignment 2

Fun writing style and casual representation of experience with dA. It seems that the project was started without a particular goal in mind to analyse something - instead, it looks to be more of a "let's see what we can observe from this set of images" sort of thing. Because of this, the project seems to feature more breadth than depth in its analysis. If I had to make a suggestion, I'd say it'd be nice to have some numbers accompanying some of the claims (such as that female watchers tend to have non-human designs as icons, etc..). I would also have enjoyed more elaboration on each of the observations made, but as mentioned above it seems like the project was just going for a more passive learning experience.

I think that the acknowledgement of the potential biases of the followers of your deviant art profile was good to place at the start of the piece, as it set the tone for what to expect in the subsequent analysis. The list of observations made at the end was very clear, with the bulleted formatting helping keep everything together. That said, there didn't seem to be very in depth analysis of the data, something that I think could have helped the project. Despite this, it was clear what information you wanted to get across, and the piece did a good job in illustrating the social dynamics of deviantArt

Thanks for the feedback! I would say that my more formal analysis was presented toward the top of the project rather than the bottom (above the image of my avatar), and the bottom was more of a series of less coalesced remarks.
