batskeetsI forgot to mention amusing bits from Comm. Design this morning!
Anyway, our assignment from Monday was to bring in a piece of design that we have little or no attatchment to, i.e. something that we didn't design ourselves, because we'd be using them to do some sample critiquing, because we're hoping to emulate the client/designer relationship a lot in this class.
I brought in ShingoMama.com for my piece of design, because it's a fun site, it's Shingo Mama, and it also targets a young audience. And because I'm crazy. ::rotfl:: And somehow, I wound up being one of the 3 people whose design pieces were chosen to be critiqued. XD We did a good bit of actual critiquing on the index page, but eventually they decided to explore the rest of the site, so they clicked on the link to the online store, not realizing that the Store was part of the Fuji Terebi website.
We basically got horrendously lost in the Fuji Terebi site, and then everyone started getting distracted by random pictures of cute fuzzy animals and Japanese people in wacky costumes, and it dragged *everyone* off-track. ::aldfhaldfhdaslhf::
Today's lesson? JAPANESE PEOPLE ARE ENTERTAINING! And so are fuzzy animals. ::alkfhasdfhaslfhk::
