Aquarium Website

http://www.aqua.org/

This is a cool website! It is kind of what I want to do with my Baltimore website. I want to keep it clean with really nice picture and nice text. I love how the images pop out on the black background and how well the blue works with the background as well. The layout also changes as you go through the site. The home page has the big images of all the fish but as you view through the website you will see how the pictures dissapear and what mainly stays the same is the header and the navigation.

Black Website

This website is similar to what I want to do with my tourism site. I want it to be super clean with crisp clean pictures that work well with a black background. I want the typography to be very professional. I want to be able to draw people into my site and keep them interested to keep looking for more information. I want it to be simple but look very pretty as well. I also want it to attract men and woman.

India Website

http://www.incredibleindia.org/

Here is another tourist site. The home page looks really nice, but the navigation buttons are a little bit off. I don't like how they go across the page then the next line follows with two more buttons. The pictures go well with the home site, but once you click on one of the links, the next page is very messy. I don't like all the advertisements and the white background. It loses its continuity once you click on a different link. It could be laid out much better than this.

Italy tour website

http://www.italia.it/en/home.html

This website is an example of a tourist website. It has good parts to it and bad parts. I do not like how in the navigation the big white drop down appears and it kind of gets in the way of where you want to go. I do like the home page though. The fast moving image is kind of cool looking up in the header and the Italia looks nice.It is a very cool site though. It has a lot of depth to it and I like how on the home page it includes the weather of areas in italy. The whole website has a good idea, but i think small little things could make it look better.

Healthy Kids website

This is a good website to grab a child's attention for fighting diseases and being healthy. There are images of super heroes who fight diseases and children love seeing super heroes. There are also images of other people that the kids can relate to. The colors are very warming and welcoming. The website looks very fun and there are many different picture and links to look up to relate to the topic given. the font is also very fun and easy to read. It works great for kids.

PBS website

This website works well for little kids. It has bright happy colors and big buttons the kids can relate to. Each buttons shows different characters from the different shows and the kids can click on the characters of the show they want and play games and learn different lessons for each group. There are many different options for the kids and with each button there is a little image for the child to identify what it is for. for example the coloring button has a white sheet of paper and a pencil beside it so its obvious what the child will be doing. It is set up very simple for the child and works well.

Messy Website

This website is very unorganized. When opened you have no clue where to look first. The big red image catches your attention but so many other things are overlapping it.there are os many colors instead of one color theme and so many images. It is almost like all the divs are in random places. The buttons are also very goofy looking as circles. They could work much better as a different font choice. the whole thing needs to be much more organized

Brain Games

http://like.allmyfaves.com/like/site/name/wondermind.tate.org.uk

This is a very cool website for kids and even for people my age. I enjoyed looking through it. It captures your attention at the beginning with the image on the home page and the music that goes along with it. Each time you scrubbed over the map, different noises came out. When you click on a certain part of the map, a loading picture comes up and while it is loading it gives you an interesting fact about the brain. This website is used to exercise different parts of your brian and whoever created it was very smart to make this because everyone needs to do things like this.

Before I die

http://beforeidieiwantto.org/usa_nyc.html

This is an interesting web page. It is very simple and something to look at if you are bored. It is put together very nicely though. all it is is a bunch of pictures of people and underneath there picture it says what they want to do before they die. It has an interesting layout though. Unlike the layouts we learned about with the different divs, all this has it the picture and you scroll side to side to see more pictures. very interesting and simple, but fun to look at if you are ever bored. Its an easy way to connect with people.

Fancy Website

http://fancy.com/

This is an extremely cool website with really cool products. I started looking at it and it took me a minute to stop because I just wanted to keep looking. the person who made this website knew what would grab a persons attention and used that. They didn't really use it in the layout of the web design but in the stuff they were selling. The layout is very simple and neutral. It works well with the expensive products that are being sold. This website almost reminds me of the sky mall magazine. I really enjoy it.

Reversa Website

This website to me screams professional and high end. When I first saw this I had a feeling it was targeted to more high end people. The color scheme and the way its laid out is very modern and that is the look these days. The women dressed in all white looks very professional and i believe this website works very well with those kind of people. It is an overly simple home page but it works to an extent

Art Website

This index page for this website is very cool. The moment I see it i want to keep looking at it. I am very intrigued with the art work done and I think that is what is most important in grabbing the audiences attention when opening the home page. The first thing you see is the art work, then you focus on the side bar with all the navigation. To me it works very well and I was interested the moment I saw it. I love seeing different types of art. It is so inspirational.

Awesome Website

http://www.mp-webdesign.co.uk/web-design-news/wp-content/uploads/2012/12/Screen-shot-2012-12-10-at-16.58.55.png

This is a really cool website. The whole entire thing ties in so wonderfully. It definitely catches my attention. I love the background and the rapper is so cool. I can't imagine the time it took to do tho site. The font choice worked great for the piece and I really like the header. It really fits well into the entire piece. I love how it all ties in together and all the links look like banners floating down form the wrapper building. This website must've taken forever, but I really like it.

Rainbow web design

This is another web design that looks super flashy and doesn't work too well. The background and the font color makes the entire thing hard to read. Once I come onto this page I am entirely lost. The rainbow colors make it so difficult. I would suggest a dark wrapper with a light opacity and choosing a certain color scheme to go along with the entire thing using the every single color of the rainbow.

Flashy Website

This website is way to flashy! there is not one thing i like about it. the buttons and colors and the whole entire thing clashes so badly. If I came upon this site, my first thought would be "unprofessional" and I would even think its full of spam. I can just imagine flashing lights trying to get the audiences attention. I would click out of this website as soon as I opened it. It just need a lot of work done to it.

Red website

This website is put together very well. The color coordinate very nicely and it all flows so well. The picture used in the header even matches with the rest of the website. The font used is very professional looking and the website is very easy to follow. I would be able to look at this and understand where to look next and how to move around on this site. Some sites are put together horribly but this one is very nicely done.
