a. The product being communicated is illustrations that represent the complexity of the human physique.

b. The demographic for this site could be for those who take in interest in anatomy and visual art.

c. The approach that is connecting the audience to the product featured is the fact that everyone can relate to the images because they are themselves, human. Therefore, people easily become comfortable with the ideas.

d. The product story is being told through the obvious unity between every piece of work.

e. The user has little interaction with the site but is able to select certain images.

f. The site does not include very much imagery or illustrations and is designed for information rather than the design.

g. The clients needs were met in a very simply way in the fact that it was easy to navigate (although, there wasn't much to navigate to) and had a user friendly design.

h. The site was not memorable because it really didn't incorporate anything original or unique.

i. I think the site was well designed but maybe a little too simply and more options of information could be provided.

2) http://lcdsoundsystem.com/

a. The product being communicated is mostly about music and viewing gigs, videos, radio, and merchandise.

b. The demographic for this site is probably about ages 15-45 and anyone who is interested in learning about different music and information about the artist.

c. The approach that is connecting the audience to the product feature is the style of design. The site has some aspects that look like sketches and has a kind of grungy, doodle style which is a design that a lot of young people enjoy.

d. The product story is being told through the organization of icons that direct towards different features.

e. There is some really interesting interacted with the viewer. Icons at the top of the page that look like doodles animate when the mouse is hovering over them.

f. The illustrations provide a unique narrative in the site because of it's similarity with a lot of music design trends.

g. The client is provided with both good design, interesting illustrations, and user friendly options and navigation.

h. This site was memorable because of the animated doodles for the links to new pages and it's creative use of the sloppy, rock and roll style.

i. I think this site was designed very well. The product could be designed to be a bit more obvious but the animation, illustrations, and format works well.

3)http://now.sprint.com/alltogethernow/# FWA site of the day

a. The product being communicated is a phone service but the specific idea for this particular page is about participating in the community to promote positivity.

b. The demographic for this site are people who have Sprint phones, teenagers and adults who want a phone, middle to upper class income.

c. The advertisers are taking a very creative approach with the audience by setting up a system where the rest of the country can vote for certain ideas and get to decide what to do to help a particular person or group of people. The videos about the voting are on the home page and are presented as an interesting design to the page.

d. They're telling the product story with the commercial on the page with people using the internet for communication as well as interacting with each other.

e. The user interacts with the site by voting for these different events and can view what everyone else is voting on and how it is effecting the event.

f. The design and illustration don't really have much of a relation to the product or service but it is simple and direct.

g. The content is more important than the design in this aspect but it isn't necessarily a negative approach.

h. The site was memorable but it has a light hearted music playing in the background, interaction with the events and the ability to view it's effect.

i. The site was well designed and a great amount of interaction with the viewer.
