Logo: For this weeks logo, I chose the iTunes graphic. It is very simple, iconic and pleasing to the eye. When you look at it, you can immediately tell, or at least get a good sense, of what the icon represents; a good example of how simplicity can help get your message across better than something that's over complicated. The blue gradient looks very nice, and helps to keep it eye catching. Had it been a static blue, I feel that the logo would be boring and less effective. Also, the grey border helps to accent the blue colour, and perhaps I'm looking too far into this, but also ties it in with Apple (the grey/silver colour scheme they use).
Website: I felt this website was innovative and a breath of fresh air. I thought integrating simple animations with a comic was a brilliant idea; it's different from a motion graphic novel in that the animations are mainly used to set up the atmosphere. The artwork is left alone for the most part, and I find the juxtaposition of movement and static images very intriguing. Another example of how simplicity can be better than over-the-top gimics. The animations used here simply accent the artwork. Furthermore, information pertaining to the website is kept relatively minimalistic, but there's enough to find out everything you need to know. It's a small feature of the site, but I thought it was a nice touch; when you turn off the audio, rather than an immediate cut, they programmed it so that the sound fades out. The fade helps to keep you in the atmosphere of this comic.
