About This Blog

This blog was designed by myself as one of my assignments for 'Interactive Design' to explore the different concepts, characteristics and themes of Interactive Design. The end result of this assignment is a thorough understanding of the criteria in creating successful websites in order to complete our major assignment for this course. The major assignment consists of creating a 'How to...' website. I began this blog on the 5th of March 2010
