In both of the ethnography readings I liked how they talked about really talking with people and watching people. The idea of “what people say vs what they do” was a pretty interesting point to me, and it’s very true. They may say that they eat healthy all the time and you see them eating at McDonalds and later at home with a box of cookies at their bedside. I think it’s a really smart way to get good information from people.
I also like that they really break down the process of ethnography. Getting deeper into what you are trying to convey to the reader. Defining te problem and rethinking that problem, defining the contexts and defining the sample, and so on.
It’s getting to know your audience/user and making what is beneficial to you and them.
I am a student at the University of Kansas majoring in Photo Media and minoring in Mass Communications (News and Info). I love all styles of art and showing what I create and what others have created that inspires me and I would like to share that with you.

Summary of "Design Moves" by Sharon Helmer Poggenpohl
Summary of Reading
“Design Moves” by Sharon Helmer Poggenpohl
In this reading Sharon Poggenpohl describes how design engages the user and how designers should look at the way people look at design. We should see how the user interacts with the design to better understand the design and the user.
Poggenpohl talks about a “designers hidden moves” and describes them as being helpful tools for the designer to follow. Poggenpohl talks about engaging the user to help create a more fitting solution and making abstract ideas tangible, among other ideas.
Poggenpohl also describes four basic kinds of prototypes that every designer should use and how they can work together. They are conceptual, behavioral, procedural and apperance. They can work together to help a designer see what should be changed or enhanced.
