Dimensions of Context
This chapter was very interesting to read because it detailed the various ways context can better an experience. Context very important as it puts the images, objects, and messages in a certain setting or background in which they relate to or can create an interpretational metaphor. As a designer context very important because we have create use that space to design something that pertains to a certain context and we can let it go beyond its' main context because the audience is not always going to see it the same as another person or ourselves as designers.
Context has many dimensions: cognitive, socio-cultural, technological, physical, and economic. These various parts are all different ways to approach a problem and try give a area of context and can also help solve the problem by providing what elements should be implemented. Many time if there is no definitive context present then things can be widely unclear or confusing like if someone came in and saw the design and made their own interpretations, but that person can make that opinion because it is instantly put under their own context in which seems familiar to them.

Communication Models
Shannon / Weaver Model of Communication
Claude Shannon a research scientist, came up with a model of communication in which a signal transmission would be relayed. So pertaining to a message there is a sender and a reciever and from one to another there is a channel in with the message passes through, but it is not that is easy because when a signal is sent it can become distorted, so a message can be affected by noise or in design the message can be less communicative because other elements are causing noise and prohibiting the message from being clearly understood.
Emmert / Donaghy Model of Communication
In 1981 Phillip Emmert and William Donaghy came up with a version of there own on how the communication model works and in there model the have communicator A or whatever label we give and then we have communicator B, both communicators are working together to create an experience. The communicator A would be your sender still and the communicator B would the reciever, but now there is feedback from communicator B in which the sender can reflect on. Also key part to the model is that everything is place in a context meaning the background or setting as a whole.
Message Cycle
The message cycle has a unversal way of process and communication, as it revolves around as a cirlce and keeps going. It interesting way of designing because we can start anywhere and still end at same spot as we go all the way around.
