redo

im planning on when i finish this module if not sooner to start using my blog to the best of my ability, possibly sit down re design it and make it more portfolio based, now the course is getting going im thinking this is a good way of treating my work more seriously. watch this space! x

website

one of my favorite and successful websites is www.eurogamer.net, this is firstly because it appeals to my interests, its very informative, useful and good at everything i try achieve while using it. it has the forum for asking questions and looking up conversational topics and have a chance to simply talk to the people with the same interests. also the site offers a load of reviews weekly before games come out, this strongly influences my choice in what games i buy over the next week and also games that have already come out. the website is also easy to navigate with all consoles being split up into separate tabs to i can easily select and refine the pages im looking at. the site is also regularly updated on an hourly basis and is very appealing to the eye with bright colours and talented art work. the only bad thing i find about the website is sometimes it becomes over busy for the eye often to full of words and tabs, but i never find this too much of a problem as it remains a favourite website of mine still.

Originality

Does originality exist? Or is it only possible to rework things that have been done before? Has anything new been invented since 1950?

my views on this statement/question is that of course originality exists, if it didnt i believe where we are technology wouldnt be the case. this answers the question that YES new things have been invented since 1950. inventions like the internet for example. however where it becomes difficult is when it comes to reworking and things that have been done before, what i feel about that is that things are reworked for the better, new originality shines through making things bigger, faster and stronger. i believe anything can be related to this for example cars, cars these days run on alternate fuels, cheaper design and new materials its a normal progression. as technology gets better so does product however some believe "old is gold" and this is where technology is great, for example old style radios are now brought up to modern times and made digital but keeping the same look, theres originality in the design aswell as originality in the technology, so i believe as long as theres a market for it originality and technology remain close and dynamic.
