So, for class I needed to design a poster for a fake movie. Here it is! lol
**Please note, for some reason, uploading my picture to Photobucket has changed the quality of it. Its still decent looking, but for some reason, its not the same as the original!

Class Project-Accessability Experiment
So, here's the deal. I had to give a small test to someone and see how accessible my test site was for them. I used http://www.youtube.com as my test site, a popular and pretty accessible site, and my sister as my test subject. Here are the tasks I gave, as well as questions I asked:
Task: Find the categories of videos on Youtube
How easy was this for you (scale of 1-10, 10 being very easy): 8
Task: Locate the video "Jimmy: The World of Warcraft Story"
How easy was this for you (scale of 1-10, 10 being very easy): 10
Task: Locate the Show "Mr. Bean"
How easy was this for you (scale of 1-10, 10 being very easy): 8
Task: Pick any Channel and locate the Uploaded videos to this channel
How easy was this for you (scale of 1-10, 10 being very easy): 8
Questionnaire:
1. How easy was the site for you, when you needed to find things?
Very easy, its well laid out, and I could find things almost instantly.
2. What do you think of the new layout for Youtube?
I like the front page, it has some great suggestions and makes the site even easier to use, especially when I just want to watch random videos.
3. Would you recommend Youtube to a friend based on your experience with its user-friendliness?
Definitely. There are some other sites for videos, but none have as many as this, and plus they can be so annoying to navigate. I hate when some have ads everywhere, blocking what I need!
4. Were there any steps that were a little hard?
On the Channels, it took me a sec to find the videos for them, but it wasn't bad.

Games On Demand Coming To Games For Windows Live!

"Microsoft has announced that on December 15th, Games on Demand comes to Games for Windows Live, which is a very fancy way of saying it's going to start digitally distributing PC games."
Cool!! Very awesome, I really like PC games. I haven't gotten far enough into the process to see the prices, and the article doesn't mention, but it will be so cool to be able to get good games directly like that, especially if the prices are good!!!! Woot!

New Game, New Role (for ONCE)
Read more here
Interestingly enough, a new game introduces a role not yet seen in game play... a "despotic ruler of a tinpot Caribbean island". Tropico 3 is kind of like all the build-it-up games (Sims, Tycoons, etc), but you also create a regime to run the town, good or bad, and it seems pretty interesting. I'm a sucker for those types of games, I LOVE building stuff and being able to be creative. This one seems like it would be a funny twist.

Michael Jackson Lives On...in Sonic the Hedgehog 3
Read more here
Well, it looks like the former king of pop had a hand in working on the new Sonic Game. "Jackson's composer and musical director Brad Buxer says Michael was responsible for some of Sonic 3's compositions. The themes that appear in Sonic 3 and some of Jackson's own songs are not a coincidence."
How weird, I didn't know he dabbled in things like that. Sounds kind of cool, too bad he isn't here to see it come out.
