MONTHLY MUSE CHALLENGE - MAR- WEEK 2

We are onto week two, hopefully
---
you are having fun!

Art inspiration from this mural is Black & White & Divided! See how on this Mural the artist divided their background, and all the design on top of the white is black and the design on top of the black is white? I want you to create that on your layout too!

Now onto the Journaling part. See how the designer used a Hashtag? Yep, I want you to use at least 1 Hashtag ( # ) on your layout.

hashtag
[ˈhaSHtaɡ]

hashtag (noun) · hashtags (plural noun) a word or phrase that starts with the symbol # and that briefly indicates what a message is about.


Which characters can you include in a #hashtag?
For starters, spaces are an absolute no-no. Even if your hashtag contains multiple words, group them all together. If you want to differentiate between words, use capitals instead (#BlueJasmine). Uppercase letters will not alter your search results, so searching for #BlueJasmine will yield the same results as #bluejasmine.

Numbers are supported, however, punctuation marks are not, so commas, periods, exclamation points, question marks and apostrophes are out. Forget about asterisks, ampersands or any other special characters. This being said, for the use of our page do what your heart wants to put, the above rule is for formal use on platforms like Instagram, Facebook and Twitter.

Did You Know?

Social media has made the hashtag a ubiquitous part of Internet culture, starting with Twitter and expanding to other sites. Originally designed for categorizing posts, the hashtag can now be a tool for a supplementary coy or witty comment (e.g., #awkward). The word tag can mean "a word or phrase used for description or identification." Hash is short for hash mark, a term for what we more commonly call a pound sign (and, less commonly, an octothorp). The hash in hash mark is probably an alteration of hatch, a term for the crisscrossing of lines (as when adding shading to a drawing).
