Response to the CountryHome.com meeting

This morning I was part of the team of three designers working on the CountyHome.com prototype who met with our publishing team and the two professors overseeing the project. We presented our prototype and were grilled on our choices for our designs. It was an uncomfortable hour, but I would rather be grilled by them than the representatives of Meredith Corp. The experience was a real eye-opener for me by serving as an example of how fast the industry is changing from print to online, and how I need to keep up with this change in the industry. In terms of web design I am a novice compared to print design, and I need to learn a lot about web design in the coming weeks.
