1. My name is Ahema Odeng-Otu, and I am a first year graduate student TAing for this class.
2. My background is in both digital graphic design and handrawn illustration
3. I have very minimal experience with coding; sometime in elementary school we had a unit in Tinkercad, and we very briefly used actual code!
4. One thing I hope to learn through this class is how to develop a website
5. Paper is fixed; screens, however, change sizes depending on the device. This means protyping multiple formats that work for all screen sizes
6. https://www.pinterest.com/ Pinterest exemplifies effective design because it uses icons, text, and images in hierarchy to help service the user
7. https://www.nytco.com/games/ The NYTimes Games site exemplifies effective communication through its use of text hiearchy, which breaks up text, and icons for each game.
8. https://www.boredbutton.com/ Bored Button works well because it manages to link to what seems to be an infinite array of fun website through a button. How does it store all that information without crashing?
