Good to see you guys starting to make an effort at this. If you keep your team blogging up at this rate you might make up for your inactivity over the last few weeks. Interesting the see Gagudju Crocodile Hotel turn up again. I like to show this to students as an example of how not to use metaphor – i.e. take an appropriate metaphor and then, rather than abstract it, to literally translate it to produce – a BIG CROCODILE. Promise me guys that you won’t design a BIG anything. Ask Paul about how to abstract a metaphor. He just about got that right in his last project – after at one stage threatening the BIG LIMPET.
