Remediation & the O'Neill website
Two things that stuck with me while reading the Remediation book were:1. The fact that no media event or medium to convey information through the media stands alone. Media constantly involved interculturally, and with other forces, economic and social (Bolter). The reason I have been thinking this while planning the website is because as designers we must think about how our website will be portrayed by everyone, we don't want to give off a very wrong impression. We need to make sure that we're "up with the times" and remediate older types of media that may already be incorporated into the O'Neill site.
2. Bolter and Grusin say that "the ultimate ambition of the Web designer seems to be to integrate and absorb all other media." Keeping this quote in mind, I want to make sure that as a class we integrate all media into the website. through photos, writing, even the logo and brand, we need to do our best to send one main message to our users. To me, the web is the most direct form of mass communication nowadays because everyone who has internet acces can see all the same pages on the world wide web. It's not like having something on tv where some users might not be able to access it.
