Kash5aty is a blog that aims to help students find cheap alternatives when it comes to Fashion. However, the content on this blog will also be relevant to anyone who is interested in Fashion. The blog has a total of 6 posts that break down different genres of fashion, there are pictures of all the products mentioned as well as links that directly transfer you to where you can buy these products. All photos taken from the websites have links for referencing and are mentioned in the references breakdown to ensure that all the different brands mentioned receive all the credit for their photos.

Furthermore, the video is broken down into two different parts, the first is women's wear and the second is menswear, the video is a ‘come shopping with me’ themed video that guides students and others when shopping as well as gives them some inspiration.

The podcast on the other hand was about the main struggles that students have when being fashionable and some tips that can be helpful to students when shopping, the interviewee was a friend of mine from university, this allowed me to ensure that I get feedback from a student's perspective. Moreover, I did a second podcast with my father, this podcast was about fashion at 40. Although It might not seem directly relevant to students; through this podcast, I was able to show students that there is no better time to experiment with fashion than now because as you get older the more restrictions you may have fashion-wise.

For the references section of the blog, I dedicated a full page of all the brands and companies I used or referred to in my blog posts as well as linked all the different links and sources used to find these companies and brands. Instead of listing all the references I added links to photos of the logos of the different brands and these links can be accessed by pressing on the photos as this was a much more presentable and put together way of laying out all the different references I used.

One of the main influences on my blog was feedback taken from classmates and family members, Feedback played a huge role in the layout of my blog as well as ensured that I didn’t miss any gaps. Furthermore, the more time I spent on the blog the more skilled I became. I originally used Blogger but found it complicated to navigate around, then attempted WordPress but it was extremely difficult to publish posts and lastly, I tried out Wix which was the most convenient and flexible platform that allowed me to personalize the blog.

In the beginning, I lacked a lot of technical skills, but this assessment allowed me to learn new things and overcome some of the doubts I had regarding my technology skills and understanding. This was also a big learning experience as I have never done a blog which allowed me to acquire new transferrable skills.
