1. To what extent do Whyte and Gibbs approach city design from different perspectives? Do you find one more convincing than the other?

In my opinion I find Whyte more convincing just because his methodology of the shopping experience seems to be more of a general concept, while Gibbs doesn't seem to focus so much on different aspects of the shopping experience that are necessary to evaluate.

2. What elements of an urban area are particularly attractive to you? What elements repel you?

Living in cities like San Francisco and Dallas, I certainly love the cities at night. Lightng definitely plays a huge role in big cities because there's a lot of tourism and people like to stroll downtown at night. Some elements that repel me have to be when it just gets too crowded because u draw more attention in where you're going and who your bumping into, than the stores and the environment surrounding you.

3. Egg Container Experience:

While working to design an egg container got a little bit frustrating at times. My partner and I had many good concepts but we didn't really know how to execute them. When we finally came up with a packaging, we tested it outside to see if it was actually going to work. Our packaging included a peanut butter jar (no peanut butter inside) and cotton webs that surrounded the egg inside protecting it from the fall. Once we tested it, it unfortunately didn't work as well as we thought. So we then created another design which included a beach ball, scarves, and the same peanut butter jar with the cotton webs surrounding the egg. My partner and I were convinced that our packaging was going to be a success, but it turned out not to be.
