FormatPixel

FormatPixel is a website online that allows the user to create their own online magazines, brochures, catalogs, portfolios, and other tools to display themselves. This site enables people to use their creativity to create these tools and share them with their friends, family, coworkers, or the world. Anybody can sign up for this site, depending on how much you want to use the site. If you only want to create one project it is free, but the more projects you would like to create the more money this site costs.

In your projects you can add photos, make the tool interactive, design a layout, and add your own text. From looking through other peoples creations, I see that a lot of people use this website to display family trips, company magazines, and promote themselves. This is a great way to communication and if done correctly, can be a great portfolio and resume for yourself for a potential job.

The website also allows you to attach videos and pictures to your pages. This helps you reach out to a larger audience and may obtain more followers or readers of your posts. Since the posts can be interactive and commented on, the communication aspect of this site is high. It is a way in which to share yourself, your ideas, and other things with the world.

The affordances of this website is the ability to share yourself with the world. It enables you to use multiple tools to interact and create something that can help others learn in a way. People can be learning about you, can be learning about a company, or can be learning about something educational.
