“Simplicity is the ultimate form of sophistication” -Leonardo da Vinci

Often times artists, especially digital designers, get so caught up in what they can do with their tools that they lose sight of the importance of good design. When you were or are designing you Logotypes, simplicity is very important. Too many font, words, shapes, lines or other stuff clutters up the simple purose and readability of great design. Often times looking at a design and seeing what you can take away of simplify can make for a much better design. Rather than looking for filler, like far to many of you do when you are writing essays, use what is important, essential, inspiring. da Vinci Know what he’s talking about and if for some reason you don’t know who da Vinci is look him up now!

Because our website was down yesterday we are going to do required Hunting and Healing for the first 30 Minutes of class today. Feel free to use as much of the class as you would like to look through each other’s blogs but everyone needs to be doing Hunting or Healing for the first 30 minutes. After we finish that up you may continue on with your quest. Remember to always post mastery on our current week post not the week that the quest came from.

Game design isn’t just a technological craft. It’s a twenty-first-century way of thinking and leading. And gameplay isn’t just a pastime. It’s a twenty-first-century way of working together to accomplish real change.
— Jane McGonigal / Reality is Broken

Strategy: Visitor, we’re entering a phase of the game where there are more Quests than you can possibly complete, much less Master during class. Don’t become overwhelmed. The Boss doesn’t expect you to complete everything. He wants to provide you with choices.

Epic Quest Central: EQC is the staging area for new Epic Quests. You can find existing and upcoming EQs there. You’ll have to decide what you want to learn. Pick from the existing Quests or Epic Quests. But don’t work on projects not connected to Quests unless: (a) you have permission, or (b) you want to battle the King.

Level Locking: You’ll now find some Quests have minimum level requirements. Level up if you’re not able to access the Quest.

Quest

• Epic Quest 101

Epic Quest

• Crusader’s Council

Remember, the Crusader’s Council Quest is repeatable!
