THE LOG

  THE FINAL CLASS Over the course of the semester, during my research, I have discovered many really cool websites that are doing wonderful, creative, and innovative things with their designs!! I have really enjoyed finding these websites and have been really really impressed by quite a few. I want to include a few examples of my favorites so that I can share these cool things with you guys!! Examples Shader.se igloo.inc The Line Studio Ponpon Mania patrickfoxy These websites use many cool tools to set themselves apart, making each one of them unique, original, and exciting, and I can't wait to talk about them. Some really cool tools include paralax scrolling, 3d rendering in web, well animated transition scenes, web reactivity, and many more!

This is a dragon, idk y  Jessica Clements Interview First questions I lead with a question that I had already introduced to Dr. Clements in one of my classes when she visited the class. Are websites becoming monomodal? No. Monomodal is not the right word. Websites by virtue tend to include lots of different modalities, sound, text, images etc. So I was using the wrong word. But she said YES websites do seem to be becoming homogenous. Web aesthetics ARE flattening.  We discussed this for a bit. Why are websites becoming so homogenous and how. The classic usability and reliability is what we decided upon. People don't want to have to relearn how to use a new website or tool every time they try something new. It's already hard enough. If they all follow similar archetypes it becomes much simpler for the users to accept new artifacts. Also, the sterile classic design is efficient. Sidebars, drop boxes, text boxes, common icons, etc. They all work and do their job well and are easy...
