Nancy website

Sorry this is late.

1. Consistency of design: Very consistent. You kept the blue line at the top on every page. There was a simple color scheme throughout (grey/navy blue). There were 5 buttons that never changed- this made it easy to navigate.

2. Color and design: simple but easy to follow. I did not feel distracted as I do on many sites. It was easy to find your work and enjoy your pictures. You stuck with grey for text- this made it easy to read

3. Use of imagery: Limited. A couple times you used your own picture to fill an empty space. This made the site feel fuller but also felt a bit random. For instance the triple image of your dog confused me just because I was unsure of what it related to.

4. Use of line/color/text: You kept this plain. There was the one line at the top of every page that held the site together. Other then that there was little extra "decoration." Sometimes you used your own picture to fill and empty space on a page. Although they did look nice I didn't see the connection between the image and the content of the page

5. Desc. of projects: the description of the 2nd and third project fell a little short. The only description was the words that were already part of the project. I would have liked to read some of the things you told the class while presenting (especially for the home project.)

6. Bio: Complete and informative but not too personal. I liked how you included your education and exhibited works of art. It was a well organized page.

Overall I really enjoyed viewing you site and images (I might even check back to see if there is something new). Way too go! Hope you have a nice summer.

Review of Jaqueline's Site

A day or two late, but hopefully not a dollar short. My apologies.

Jaqueline's website was fairly straightforward, boasting a menu at the top which provides links to all three of her projects. The first two projects are navigated by simply clicking along to view the work, and all links were in working order. The video project was also hosted on the site, and was able to be viewed by an embedded quicktime player. Her bio contained a photo of herself, along with contact information and a little 'about me' section. The entire webstite as a whole was incredibly effective and really highlighted her work!

Kudos Jaqueline!

Review of Sean's website

The header portion of each page contains links to the home, projects, bio and contact pages, and remains consistent from page to page. This keeps all the essential links in one place, making navigation easy and intuitive. Design is consistent and very simple, utilizing a standard black on white color scheme, and sans serif fonts. All of the imagery on the site is well organized and relevant to the content. There is a thumbnail in the header that is different at each page visited, as well as previews for each project on the "projects" page, a more in-depth preview of the "Fear and Loathing in Asbury Park" project on the homepage, and a nice postcard graphic on the contact page. The images from each project are organized into separate flash galleries that are accessed from the projects page. This works well and is an appropriate way to view the work, although there is no space left for descriptions of the individual images. In fact, my only problem with the site is that the description for project two is on the homepage, which is somewhat confusing and separates it from the rest of the project. The description itself, however, is interesting and well written, providing a historical background on the area, a description of the town's current state, and a poem. The bio page is very sparse, with only two sentences and an accompanying photo, but I think that this works well, complimenting the minimalist aesthetic of the rest of the website, something that is also reflected in much of Sean's work.
