J05 - Peer Review

I decided to stick with reviewing the Queen's blogs since I've done it once already and I am interested to see how far we've come since the first peer review. Since we all now have a fairly good understanding of each other, it'll be easier to read, and I'll know what to look for. The firs blog I reviewed this time around was Alyson's.

The first new article on the blog was the scavenger hunt, which all the Queens stuck together for, but we got our own pictures. This was nothing new, since I knew we got them all right! The next piece of business was her second course reflection. I found it interesting that she was very into green design - something I did no know before. I agree with Alyson that more designers should incorporate green design into their projects, as our planet does need all the help it can get.

Lastly I looked at her found faces, and she definitely had some great ones! A lot involved architecture, which I really appreciated. They were all very clear and concise. Great finds!

Next, I took a look at Jay's blog.

I was very intrigued reading reading his second course reflection, as he discussed biomimicry and even used some examples I had not remotely even heard of or even thought of. It was very thought provoking and got me thinking of other designs that are based off of designs that we see in nature.

Next I looked at his found faces, and again I was blown away. There were some he had I did not even consider. My favorite has got to be either the ATM with the teeth thats winking, the window lock with the mustache, or the Nintendo plug-in, because I have a Nintendo and didn't even think about using it because I hadn't even seen it. Some very creative stuff right here, real talk.

Since I was his partner for the scavenger hunt, it was nothing new, as I had taken the photos he "modeled" for.

Lastly, I looked again at Sydni's blog.

The first thing I took a look at here was her found faces because she had quite a few. My favorite off of her list was definitely either the googley-eyed dresser, or the candle holder. Both very solid, and very creative. After looking at these, I found about 10 more sitting in my room with the ideas I got from Sydni. I definitely feel weird brushing my teeth in the sink with how nicely she portrayed the sink face. I always "saw it" but not like i saw them in her photos. Check out her pictures here:

After reading her second course reflection blog, I thought about process a lot more. She talked about how she would like to try to implicate the thought process designers go through in creating a design, and applying it to her field of business. I think she definitely has a good idea, and I think this can go back to universal design. I pondered it for a while and thought about how I might even be able to use the same thought process in whatever field I do decide to go into.

Lastly, I finished with looking at the scavenger hunt, though it was nothing new as we all saw the same buildings that day.
