Week 5: Class Comments

Last night’s class was cool, Christian; an Executive Creative Director at Goodby, Silverstein and Partners presented his work and talked about the latest technologies in the web design field. Personally I was fascinated by the General Electric (GE) website and amazed by how technology had advanced.
After that we presented our personas for our topics, and I realized that I still need to work more on mine!
