"I agree with Alana - I didn't think that the presenters in inspiration day were the same in their perspective or expression, but they were very diverse and inspiring.

I didn't see an issue with the male dominance in the workshop for two reasons: first, the mentors were there for their unique perspectives as designers and their capability to help us with the maps. Seeing it differently only shows how we as women are insecure about our position in the society, which is my second point. If women are secure enough about their abilities and their position, they would see past the gender and only see their ideas and what they can offer as individuals.

In inspiration day, the whole idea was not to show the male dominance in the Memefest organization, but to have an intellectual discussion, and as a woman, I was not concerned about the gender, but about what they were presenting.

I like Sarah's proposal of having the next "friendly competition around traditional and non-traditional roles in society regarding gender" I can't wait to see how it goes."

"@ Dr Zoë Sadokierski:

Thank you for the kind comments, and we agree that at times, the contrast between colors and text are too strong. This is a lesson that we as design students learned how to address, thanks to the feedback and the experimentation that the assignment allowed us to conduct.

@ Tony Credland:

We are glad that you enjoyed exploring our website, and perhaps the random clicks helped you with that.
the original text is cited in the About page under Manifesto - last line.
Thank you again for the comment.

@ Kevin Yuen Kit Lo:

You have good points. It's true that the text is not very legible against the bright backgrounds, or the correct hierarchy. Yet, as students, we took this opportunity to experiment with type and color, and push the boundaries of legibility, but perhaps we pushed it a bit far.
Thank you for your valuable feedback and for appreciating our concept.

@ Shoaib Nabi:

The story of the two lovers in paris is what our concept is about. we have the love stories connected to others about conflict and power, because this is reality, but only with this reality we reach harmony.
Referring to the comment about hierarchy. The way we understand the comment is that the size of the icon doesn't necessarily relate to the importance of the story. if this is the comment then the answer would be we faced a geographic issue with some countries that are small in area, such as Lebanon and Bahrain. In our view, this was the best way to go around this issue, specially for UAE and Iraq.

We appreciate you comprehension of our concept and your analysis which we could describe as "spot on."

Thank you for your comment.
