In his blog he does a great job of organizing his posts so older one are easier to access. One area that needs work is his tab labeled Figures. In this tab he does not have any information under it which could look bad. His design and background are very aesthetically pleasing.
Thomas Gonya, Fall 18, AT 409
Thomas went an interesting route with his blog design. He used a format of completely black and white. This had an effect that felt more organized. It was odd that in his posts that the text went completely to the edge which made it odd to read. It was a good idea to put a small About Me section on the side bar for the reader.

Evan went with a similar design of black and white that Thomas used. The way Evan used it however was better since he did not use white backgrounds behind the text which could distract the reader. One major thing that Evan can work on is his handwriting. His handwriting was barely legible. He did a great job though of making easy access to past posts by using a sidebar called Blog Archive.
Brian Duffy, Spring 16, Geog 390
Brian does a great job of explaining his pictures and the process for his labs. He gives relevant information when it is needed and does not overexplain things. One area that needs work is his own personal information. When I open his blog I expect to be able to find his information relatively quickly but on his home page his name is no where to be seen. I did like the design he used because it was not overly distracting and got the job done.
Andrew Jeffers, Spring 16, Geog 390
Andrew's blog design is very simple and pleasant to the eye. He does a great job displaying his pictures by placing the text to the sides of the images. Andrew ran into the same issue as Brian though. His blog also does not show his name anywhere on the homepage. He does a great job explaining his findings with a thorough analysis.

My Background
I am currently going into my Senior year at Purdue majoring in Unmanned Aerial Systems. My background with Unmanned Aerial Systems before attending Purdue University was very minimal. I have flown drones in high school on a number of occasions and thought they were very interesting. My interest in unmanned systems started when I was a freshmen that was undecided with what major I was going to explore. I knew though that I wished to explore a field that was related to aviation. After discovering the unmanned program at Purdue, I knew I was hooked.
My background with Unmanned Aerial Systems mainly consists of what I have learned during my studies at Purdue. This would include the safety and regulatory issues relating to unmanned systems. I have had previous job experience teaching younger children how to properly fly smaller drones and how to work with a team to complete drone related tasks. This was interesting to see how a younger generation was genuinely intrigued by what they could accomplish when properly planning out missions for their drone.
The future with Unmanned Aerial Systems is constantly evolving. Large amounts of drone traffic will soon be seen throughout the world. I hope to start a career that is related to more government work. What I mean by this is more towards the military side of things that would also include outer space work.
