To Dave's point - not just the utilitarian IA/structure - but read this paragraph and then review the two sites:
"Today, rather than simply serving as a home for storytelling, architecture becomes a device for storytelling as narratives are woven into its foundations. Every experience encapsulates stories. While the human mind spins its tales through memory and thoughts, each space—with its history, program, materials, and design—produces a unique set of narratives. By infusing architecture with digital media, the discipline of experience design hopes to transform static environments into kinetic, cinematic, informative, and interactive spaces that offer an endless anthology of stories." >From Architectual Magazine http://www.architechmag.com/articles/detail.aspx?contentID=6507 On Thu, Oct 16, 2008 at 2:24 PM, David Malouf <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> wrote: > yea, @Jared did a review and there were others done recently > juxtaposed to Jared's. > > I found Jared's to be very utilitarian (unlike him actually), > compared to the designory reviews of the others. > > In looking at the candidates sites one can't only look at "getting > to X page", but one must also look at how they tell their story and > convey their overarching message through their visuals and through > their content. > > McCain's use of the word "recruit" screams military and strength, > which Obama's screams grassroots action.
