notes:

Play Board Games from kate morr on Vimeo.




everything moving constantly... need breaks..
bring in rythm of activity.
type go by too fast......
busy type.

I am disappointed in my type, and I will resolve the issues.....
I planned on hand rendering all of the type, but I guess I got lazy...

VL: notes.

like the green on page 1
add question.. how do you feel about lime twist??
model is hard to relate to the postcard.
noise card: needs to illustrate better.
different size is good that way the user cannot switch the cards up.
how does the viewer know that the cards flip?
have connor's message as feedback instead of message 2.
each page should look different..... change the model morph it. change to colors
put the definitions of the model parts for clarity.
Bigger!

questions for connor





I need to find out a few things from connor to get all the information i need to complete my project.
i need to find out what environment he was in when he saw my first postcard. did he have music or videos playing? any extra windows open? is his desktop clean?
Has he ever had previous experience with bar tending or drinking alcohol?
About his postcard. what mood was he in when he made it? what message he was trying to send me? and did i get it??
when he saw my postcard 3 what mood was he in and what environment?
did he have any distractions???
And I will ask him for a photo of him.

But until I hear back from him I will continue to work on my typography and work on more logical ways to get the user involved.

I've decided to nix the negatives on video games and just state the benefits of playing board games.
1 playing board games promotes socialization.
2 they teach kids to take turns and share.
3 they teach kids about winning and losing battles.
4 they increase children's decision making skills.
5 they fuel the imagination.
6 they challenge kids to use their minds.
7 they encourage kids to focus on the task at hand.
8 the teach life skills.

I'm hoping to include other board games other than CandyLand, like Battleship, Guess Who, and others
