Hello everyone! This is my very first blog post here on the new Fióka Animation Studio blog about all things animation and motion design. I'm excited to share my thoughts and ideas on this topic. I hope you enjoy reading it!

‍

First and foremost why even blog?  Why write a blog when no one is guaranteed to read it? Yet...

‍

There are actually many reasons to blog, even if you don't think anyone will read it. For one thing, it's a great way to practice your writing skills. If you're hoping to become a better writer, there's no harm in writing for an audience of yourself. It will pay off writing animation scripts and storyboards at the very least.

Another reason to blog is that it can serve as a therapeutic outlet. It can be cathartic to get your thoughts and feelings down on paper (or screen), and it can be very satisfying to look back on your progress over time. If you're going through a tough situation, blogging can be a helpful way to process your thoughts and emotions.

What to write about?

1. Start with an outline: This will help you organize your thoughts and decide what topics you want to hit on in your blog post.

2. Find your voice: Write like you talk. This will make your blog post relatable and enjoyable for your readers.

3. Keep it short and sweet: Readers have a short attention span, so make sure your blog post is concise and to the point.

4. Engage your readers: Ask questions, give examples, tell stories… do whatever you can to keep your readers engaged with your content.

5. Use images: A picture is worth a thousand words, so break up your text with some eye-catching photos.

How to title your post?

‍

When it comes to titling your post, there are a few things to keep in mind. First, make sure your title is reflective of the content of your post. A title that's catchy but doesn't accurately reflect the blog post itself is likely to turn readers off.

Second, consider using key words in your title so that people searching for information on your topic can easily find your post.

Finally, don't underestimate the power of a good pun or play on words - sometimes a clever title is just what you need to draw readers in.

‍

With these tips in mind, crafting the perfect title for your first blog post should be a breeze!

How to structure your post?

‍

Assuming you want tips on structuring a blog post:

1. Start with a catchy headline that accurately reflects the content of your post. This will help draw readers in and give them a sense of what they can expect.
2. Organize your thoughts before you start writing. A clear, well-organized post is more likely to hold readers' attention than a meandering one. You can jot down a quick outline or just make some notes on what points you want to hit.
3. Keep your paragraphs short and direct. Blog posts are typically shorter and more concise than other types of writing, so there's no need to pad them out with fluff. Get to the point and move on.
4. Use images, infographics, or videos to break up your text and add visual interest.
