1. Reading Reflection

Chapter6

That was really interesting about miscommunication! Did you know most problems in life, most grievances are created by miscommunication. I have a Nintendo DS and a game called Animal Crossing. In this game you own a house and live as a community member. This game is also accessible via wireless internet while in game play. Well Nintendo sent out a gift to everyone on New Years day. Everybody who was online with their game received this gift, the ONLY problem was, Nintendo didn’t tell anyone they were going to do this, and the gift they sent out was a BUG!!! They accidentally sent out a flower that wasn’t compatible with the game! People started to doubt WIFI(wireless internet), started worrying about hackers, and doubt Nintendo. Finally after calling their 24 hour help hotline (yes for games) they told me it was they them selves who sent it out and not a hacker!!! If they had planned this out or even made more accessible information on the subject us users wouldn’t have been so scared!! Cause I’m still a little shaken up over it!!!

Chapter8

Ah my favorite thing in the world! Page design. I really believe in making a page design the best it can be. Did you know every page has a newspaper fold on it! What is that you ask? It’s the point that no client will read unless forced or maybe they wont at all!!! On a website it is the bottom half of the page you dont see because u need to scroll down, so remember to put all important information on top, keep it quick and to the point. If a user wants to know more, then place a link for more information. Also images, if a page or document is too heavy in images, who would I want to go there unless it was an art related website?! Keep it simple, clean, precise, professional and good looking and you cant go wrong, AND keep that important information above. Do you know about the rule of 9 items? A human brain can not keep more then 9 items (on average) in short term memory. SO keep 9 links or top topics in the top half of the page and have sub links beyond each link or topic.

He has no real cover letter which is a minus but he has a simple easy to use website, and all though the layout is fairly well done, I don’t think the links should be underlined, its almost as if someone else made the page for him and let him make the table for his resume. Although I noticed his resume was the same as most of my classmates, mine was stupid, I don’t know what I’m doing!!!

5. I always focus on organization and layout. Making sure the most basic user can read my resume at once glance and see where things are and what they want to know. I also believe in capture! Capture your audience with something original or more unique!!! One thing I really liked about his resume was his choosing to put some artwork on it, now he can focus his readers attentions to almost exactly what he wants them to see!!!

Language, culture, and background are important to how you design your webpage. If by some mear chance you can make it to the Japanese version of Sony's playstation site (due to the abhordanent amounts of flash) you will notice that most MAJOR links are to the right of the page and games that are new are to the right but in the english version more links are to the left while major games are to the left as well!!!

I have a tendency to write things quickly and then they look and sound horrible! I have a scattered brain. When I rewrite it’s a terrible mess, BUT if I work slowly at first I never get anything done!!!
