This week we talked about Design for accessibility. Starting off with disabilities it seems like that is a difficult area  to design in without there being a separation. I really liked the idea of universal design and some of the examples in the power point were interesting. It got me looking around more at my surroundings and observing more than usual. We also watched the movie Hot Wheels. It was the wheel chair movie. I thought that was pretty awesome that technology exist that allow disabled people to be just as mobile as non disabled people. The part that blows was the cost of the thing, and that's also why i haven't seen one around. I feel like there is a half solution to everyone's problems just not ones that most people can afford.. hence half.

The scavenger hunt was fun. I've actually never been to the Wexner library or Knowlton library before so that was pretty cool to check those places out. The clues were fairly easy especially since we have access to the internet. Without out it, it would have been pretty challenging to figure who did what building. Knowlton had a tons of pretty interesting looking chairs. The building itself however wasn't to interesting. It was kind of dull.

The two chapters were pretty boring. Some parts were interesting but it was like things that you kind of already recognized and it just went farther in depth with it. The identities part was interesting, i mean whenever i see like brick roads or one of those old red telephone or like those round police hat i always think of england. I does seem that i do associates a certain level of trust to each company's product. Honda, i expect them to be hight reving low torque cars with great reliability and durability. Apple, i expect them to make cool stuff that doesn't break and its so easy to use i can give one to my parents. Transport system, rail ways, manufacturing process didn't really peak my interest. But i can appreciate what they do. It's interesting to think of globalization of signs though. It's kinda interesting to think that if no matter where you go in the world a stop sign is still a red octagonal sign.
