Studio Visit - Hope Ginsberg

I showed Hope the "I Need you so much Closer Project" site idea. She said one of the biggest problems is that it isn't seductive in design. The design just screams uncommitted project, unrefined idea, and not serious moderator.

She had some ideas regarding the content/process, such as having the experience of visiting the site mirror missing a connection- inconsistent reinforcement, some times have the site partially (or completely) not function.

She also said i need to consider the audience and the message. What's the focus? She suggested I think about the project from the stand point of having to ask for funding for it. That will help me focus/refine what the piece is about, who it's for, and what it does.

She provided a list of links to look up. Lots of community learning/engagement sites.
