Movie Magic?

We've got some problems to solve here. For this activity, you will watch a couple of famous movie clips and determine if they could happen in real life or not. We will watch the clips together as a class, and then you and your group will work together to figure out if these things could happen. Answer the questions in the Movie Magic docs (Indiana Jones and Ocean's 11) with the people in your group.

Share your final conclusions (and explain how you got to those conclusions) in a comment on this blog post.

Design in a Nutshell

Check out this Design in a Nutshell website. "Take the test" to find out your Design Alter-Ego. Once you find out what your alter-ego is, watch the video to see what time period your design tastes might be influenced by. Feel free to check out the other videos after that.
Answer the following questions in this blog post:
1. What is your "Design Alter-Ego"?
2. What time period influences your design opinions/tastes the most?
3. Have you ever purchased a product based on what it looks like? How did design elements of that object influence your decision?
