Peer Review 2: Traveling to Planet Vannesa
Today it is my great pleasure to introduce Vanessa Nipp, the webmaster, creative director and content creator, over at Planet Vanessa. Join me as I review her cyberinfrastructure with particular attention to design processes and how her design choices emphasize the cultivation of her digital self.

Process Post 7 (More about Design)
I had already devoted a great deal of my last process post to design. Still, I felt I didn’t capture the assignment to share some examples of websites that got my approval. In addition, I was supposed to talk about marketability next week! It seems I thoroughly confused myself! So I will take a step…

Process Post 1
This week’s process asked us to document a physical interaction and compare it to our online interactions. Can you give me directions? An older woman approached me on the corner of Main and Broadway. She was looking for the police station (on Cambie and 2nd). I explained that it was a few blocks away,…
