This week we looked at defining “affordances” and also had an introduction to using Unity lead by Remina in our lecture. In this week’s Laurel reading, she examined interaction and immersive experiences and the aspects that can cause disruption of them. A particular highlight I found interesting and relevant to my studies was the topic of advertising and placement and sizes of ads. As a web designer, this is always something to consider. We have the option now to choose whether or not we want monetary gain from advertising on personal websites, but with it comes the awareness that we are making a design choice that will disrupt the user’s experience of our website due to the obstruction of advertising.
