You've demonstrated a good understanding of concepts covered in this course.

I have seen Kitchen Nightmares, and I really wish there were a Gordon Ramsay character out there for just this purpose. Great analogy! Drew- I totally agree.

Maybe in the early days of web design, people wanted to put all their information in one place (the homepage). Have you ever seen Kitchen Nightmare's or Restaurant Makeover? The first thing the chef does is eliminate 50% of the menu. I think that those web designers would benefit from a visit from Gordon f'n Ramsay!

Just yesterday, I was in Time Square looking at all of the various billboards and the multitude of fonts they use, which seem to compete for attention. Interestingly, they have an aesthetic quality that works well for photos.... but definately not, for instructional design purposes, where the message needs to be uncluttered and simple.
