Design Exploration
My design exploration is about a website for T-Mobile called Chuckville, Is all about funny things about Chuck Norris, you walk around his town collecting a series of data about the martial art actor, you can also have a friendly fight with him in his own chuck-lin at the beginning I though that it was impossible to defeat Chuck but eventually I catch up with the game and I defeat him twice but it's not easy at all. The link for the website is www.chuckville.com.
