BUILDING :: STRUCTURE :: ENVIROMENT

Physical Environment

The environment is for anyone, probably because it’s pretty hard to confine a national park to a particular group. The environment its for social activities like walking orienteering. it is also a preservation site housing wild deer and birds. The park is organized be park rangers, they clean and tidy the park. It is funded by a pay and display car park at the entrance of the park. There is also a small café at the far end of the park. The park is pretty well sign posted at the entrance, there are also bridal paths in the park that are signed. And stamp posts for orienteering. I feel sentimental about the park because my grandparents are from Leicester and have told me many stories about the area. There are a few problems that could prevent and hinder me from visiting the park such as; weather, bad weather could prevent me form getting there, money, no money could prove to be a problem i.e. not being able to pay for parking.

Crazy pet owners of the world unite

Not really much to say about this social network sight other than it is of cause a social petwork. I would go into detail about it but i feel its pretty self explanatory. there is a zoo of social petworks for cats dogs general pets like the one featured here and strangely enough hamsters http://www.hamsterster.com...told you. I chose this one because after googling 'social petworks' this was at the top of the list. what an absolutely brilliant concept.

VS

http://www.rivals4ever.com/

as far as websites go this one is less designed than the previous, but as far as concept and content go this one must be amongst the top few. basically its a social network site aimed at pitching two things against each other (two rivals), members can choose who they want to side with and discussing who would win or somthing along those lines. rivals can be very normal things like say, Slash vs Tom Morello, slash has 2 fans and tom has non, sorry tom. there are others like Nike vs Adidas. there are also really strange rivals like Boeing vs Air Bus, and classic rivals like Godzilla vs King Kong. i could go on but there really is not much else to say other than it is a brilliant network. join it now.

Out of this world

http://www.alienufosightingsvideo.com/

For this task i found a very bizarre social network site dedicated to UFO sightings. It is hard to tell if its all serious, i think it may be. As far as websites go its brett basic there's not much going on. The sight is dark grey and a majority of the font is green (nice). Im unsure as to how many members there are on the sight i know for a fact there are three as on of the posts on the main page has is from a group with three members. I don't really know how to review something like this other then it is just truly strange.

First journal task

Joel Schafer

Joel Schafer has a vision and that vision is more 3D on the web i would love to see more 3D on the web. I can relate to lots of the statements made in his answers "easy to use easy to find" web sites NEED to be accessible otherwise the viewer gets board and lost. also command and conquer is the best cure for any level of designers block... classic game.

Dan Saffer

I found it very difficult to come up with a constructive comment on this interview as i am not feeling particularly inspired by it. he does make some interesting comments particularly "Usefulness, usability, and desirability. If your design fills a need in people's lives, works well, and looks beautiful, you've got design gold." I found the section on mistakes newbies can make and how to avoid them interesting but other than that i got lost with the text and unfortunately a little distracted.

Its Good to be Back

So this is my first post of year 2 and I'm feeling a little overwhelmed by it all. I'm also currently toying with the idea of moving to 3D but i have an awful lot of thinking to do... Yay for me.

Identities

So I'm going to make a multiple choice questionnaire about me should be good when its done but you will just have to take my word for it for now
