The Good, the Bad and the Unit II Project
If there's one thing I've learned more than anything else in college, it's that taste is subjective. It's hard to define what is 'good' and what is 'bad' when everyone defines those two things just a little bit differently. Good and bad food, music, movies, clothing, the list goes on and on for ways that people can disagree. Web page design is no different, but I hope y'all can appreciate if not agree with the choices that I've made.
Climate Wisconsin is one of the coolest and most innovative websites I've seen with a .org ending. It's basically a website designed to show how the change in climate is effecting the Wisconsin area, but the way in which the information is presented is anything but boring! It's based heavily on image and video interface which draws in today's culture for constant stimulation. Every square that you click on is linked to a video about that topic as well as a plentiful amount of research that has been done about this topic through local Universities. I found the site to be very user friendly, engaging and interesting. Overall, an ace in one!
Now for those of you who prefer your websites to be a little more flashy and complicated, BokicaBo, a website by Serbian fashion designer Bojana Borak is for you. The website is laid out in a image next to image style which allows you to scroll back and forth and side to side to shift between all the different styles and images. Be careful of where your mouse takes you though, as this site has a tendency to steer you off course if you're not prepared!
Alright, I'm going to pull a fast one and say that I absolutely hate TCU's webpage. It may look nice and flashy, but I can't tell you how many minutes of my life I have wasted trying to find information from that directory! The search on the site will get you absolutely nowhere and as far as the actual information on the page goes (if you ever find the page you're looking for) prepare to be disappointed! Chances are, any of the information you were looking for is not going to be there. And beware of the talking guy in the polo that pops up unexpectedly!
And last but not least, you have the absolute worst website I've ever come across, I'm not even sure what it's called or what the main purpose is! I think it was designed to sell products, but it's not in English so I have no idea what it's trying to persuade me to do. For all I know, it could be links of funny videos. All the images are on top of one another, clicking on one image just takes you to another cluster mess of images which helps very little if at all. There's even a search bar, if you knew what you were looking for, but by the looks of it, anyone who visited this website would have no idea. Everything about this website get's lost in translation and not in a good way.
