I Point Review

When I was finished with this project I was very curious to see how everyone else completed the site. I came into this class knowing only a very little to nothing about the different programs we used to create our sites, but I noticed that many people knew quite a bit about them. I was excited to see what everyone had done but was also scared to see how far behind I was.
When I was looking through the sites I was very impressed. I was however drawn to a couple of them. I particularly liked Yuko Kishida's and Lizee Lucero. Both of these sites had a great use of white space, especially Lizee's. I feel that the incorporation of this whiteness on the page really helps with an organized look to the site. I feel that both of these are well structured and are very clear. It is important to have a site that doesn't intimidate the viewer and welcomes them in to the page. I feel that both of these sites have a friendly feel to them. Yuko's incorporation of many colors has an especially friendly, but almost childish feel to it; it could be the combination of the almost carefree type of logo in combination with the many colors. But all in all it is still very professional looking.
I think what really works well for both of these sites is the framing of the page. they both used black backgrounds and a white table for a ll of the information. On top of the distinct contract in colors, the white table for both of the sites isn't 90 degree angles; they are either curved edges or a swish to the side.
Don't get me wrong, there were plenty of other sites that made me feel that I really need to catch up with the rest of the talent in the class, I just really took a liking to these two sites. If I had to chose between the two of them, though, I would chose Lizee's. I know that the emotion of the picture was discussed in class, but in all honestly I took it as hard working not unfriendly. If my partners at the firm took it as unfriendly, we could easily ask her to change it. It is only a minor change. I feel that there was a good amount of color used and the entire site was well laid out and easy to navigate though.
