1. i hate dreamweaver.
2. if you figure out how to embed flash via dreamweaver, let me know. all my attempts have failed.
3. i remember making image map games where people had to sit for hours clicking all over to find the clues hidden in hot spots on the picture.

Comment on Imitation is the sincerest form of stealing… by dundasm

I got pretty much the same impression from the article. Don’t steal outright; instead use other sites to brainstorm, and form a similar design for your own idea. I like your idea of using other sites as a basis for what NOT to do as well though. That’s also a good thing to keep in mind when using other sites for ideas.

These are good reviews and I enjoyed your strong critical eye for features that impressed you. I add this to your grade.

I like your thoughts and approach here, and I don’t think everyone falls into these categories . My interest in the article is that we have students very new to design and discouragement, and I think discussion this aspect of using other work is good to get out into the open and discussed. I think you can learn a lot by designing a website based on some sites you admire, and eventually you can learn enough to begin thinking your own ideas.

I really liked your seeing value in sponging and the “oh wow that sucks…” stuff as another type of learning that can occur. Perhaps that point is the best of all?
