As I sit in 317, at the corner computer, I can't help but notice that design is surrounding me. Maybe in this room more than others on campus because Danielle takes the time to make it spectacular.
But what I'm really noticing is that bad design just doesn't work. This room setup for instance. By sitting in my beloved corner, I get the shaft. I'm right next to a projector that I'm pretty sure no one has used in years, next to a window that no one can open. It screams poor design.
On a more practical level, bad design just doesn't work. Its not only ugly, but it doesn't do what its supposed to. I'd like to keep this in mind while doing work for this class. Bad design is more than poorly chosen fonts or colors. Its a fatal flaw in the usage of a site as well.
Just something to keep in mind.....

You would be surprised, or perhaps not, at how difficult it is to change around the structure of a room such as one with computers. Not an easy process. Still, the setup is much better sans the rows all facing forward *shudder*
