This entry was for the week of March 24 - 28 when we didn't have to blog. I went to North as scheduled and the program director didn't have much for me except for a little bit of filing. This is also when I calculated my hours incorrectly.
I don't want to say it was a waste of my time -- but by the time I get out there I'm afraid only volunteering for a half an hour seems a bit like a waste.
This week (Week 8) North is on Spring Break so I was not able to volunteer.
This first option is a pretty safe bet -- clean layout, nice alignment. The thumbnails illustrate each of the 5 areas we will be talking about with the goal in the lower left hand corner.
This option illustrates how we would be juxtaposing technological (human) responses to sustainability with nature's response. The lectures on biomimicry inspired this topic, and it would also be a more creative way to present perhaps otherwise dry information on technology. I think our group is seriously struggling right now because we are looking for a greater meaning in our topic. I don't personally believe it's enough, or interesting enough, to simply spit out information about technology -- perhaps a critical analysis of natural processes to human solutions would be interesting.
This final option is a fun take on the color coding system I submitted for the rough draft. If our topics were organized by color the user would be able to easily find which topic she's interested in reading.
Here is a link to the PDF because these JPEGS don't show where the page ends and are of lower quality.
