reading assignment for tuesday's digital media production class

this tuesday, DMP will host two visitors from white whale web services, the web team USF hired to redesign our web site. jason pontius (president/creative director) and donald tetto (developer/jack-of-all-trades) will join us in class for discussions and brainstorming. in preparation of their visit, your reading assignment is the following:

1. visit USF's web site. spend some time on the site and think about what on the web site works and what doesn't. consider asking your friends what they think of USF's web site.

2. if you were the decider, what would USF's web site look like? what kinds of platforms would it support? what kinds of interactions and collaborations would take place? spend some time imagining what USF's web site could be and be creative with your imaginations.

3. visit white whale's web site and spend some time looking through their portfolio. visit the web sites of their past clients and get a sense of white whale's design.

4. be ready to share your thoughts - and hear others - in class on tuesday.
