Other Blogs

Ben's blog- I really liked the passage that he quoted from the site. It made perfect sense, but I had never seen it expressed in those words before. That is an idea that almost everyone has regarding design.

Naufal's Blog- I thought that it was interesting that the design he chose was that of a toy. Almost everything that we discuss in class has more of a grown-up nature to it, such as phones or computers, but design applies to everything, including toys.

What I found Interesting on the Sites and How They Related

Ben's Site- The Value Pyramid graphic. I thought that it did a good job of visualizing the features that are present in well designed products and also the processes that occur in successful companies. This site did a good job of expressing parts of the design process, which, in a way, are very similar to the steps of the writing process.

Naufal's Site- I liked the idea of the site in general, with the examples of many different types of bad design and how to fix them. Obviously this site relates to what we have talked about in class because each of these products was poorly designed; they have faults in terms of mapping, visibility or perhaps both of them.
