Response to "Designing a Desktop Alternative in Milan"

A new design for desktops? Not sure what could change because the desktop has always been consistant in its design, however, to improve you need to change! It is supposed to easily handle mass amounts of information. It is trying to relplace the "folder" metaphor...not sure how to accomplish that, but by all means try! I would like to see it. http://www.core77.com/

Response to "Color IQ Test"

This is a web sight that allows you to associate colors with words. It is supposed to, in the long run, help designers figure out what colors people associate with certain things. Core77 describes it as "a perfect thursday afternoon time waster". Whether it is 100% accurate is questionable, however it is 100% what the public sees colors as. Its has to have an effect somewhere.www.core77.com

Response to "..And Why Do People Buy What They Buy"
This is about Nokia competing with the iPhone. It talks about competing products, however in order to compete you need to be different. Nokia has such similar aspects to the iPhone that you might as well get the original iPhone. Like i said, to compete, you need to be different.www.core77.com

Response to "Tile Furniture"
Although we associate furniture with "comphy" in terms of the object itself and also making the room look inviting, however is a design like this worth it? I think so. Based on the pictures the furniture looks neat and inviting even though it doesnt look like a cotton ball. The comfort level would have to be tested before i would buy it, but based on its picture it is visually pleasing in the object itself and in the look of a room.www.core77.com

Response to "Crystal Bling Speakers"

The image alone caught my eye and i immediately wanted to talk about this. Something visually pleasing is just as important, maybe more important than the text about it! The article is right, we are kind of over the whole "bling thing"...or aren't we? These speakers caught the attention of many...and are going to be everyone can can offord it's next holiday gift to brighten up the house.www.core77.com

Response to "Branding Firms enter the Industrial Design Fray"
This was important for to our field of work We have been told in class that branding and company Id's go a long way and are important for marketing, selling, and for the company its self. We are learning to design Id's and logos, all sorts of things related to branding so it is important for us to not only hear it from our teachers, but to read it and hear about it through the media so we understand just how much of an effect it does have!www.core77.com

Responce to "Deserve Your Dream"
Talks about the creativity of "new designers" and how their minds are new. How a lot of projects come from what new designers do in the classroom. I decided to comment on this because we are currently students and this can apply to any of us. We DO need experience, however our minds are new the the field and can produce things that have never been produced before.
