Week 1 Class 1- Getting to know each other!!!

Introductions were made and we spent time looking into each others strengths and weaknesses.
Marielle's strengths included advertisement and graphic design
Emma's strengths were in web design animation and visual media programs.
I have strengths in typography, marketing and graphic design, weaknesses in HTML

We researched into examples of good and bad websites to find these examples:

Good website: Semi Permanent

We thought that the website did a great job at organising all the information that was needed for a conference. The information was minimal so that a person could read only what they needed to know without having to read unnecessary information. It was also very comparable with notable hierarchy. There was a menu at the top of the page that took you to the section of the page you wanted to visit, this meant there was a lack of loading new webpages.

The aesthetic was minimal with easy to read fonts and a simple colour scheme. 

Bad website: ID Fashion

The homepage started with a banner of rotating images that took up half of the screen on our laptops.  The menu was very minimal and small with italic font. Then underneath there were many columns for random not organised information, it was a lot to process at once rather than attracting us to read on.

Under the Events page the information was lacking with only images, all underneith each other so they were very hard to compare and you had to scroll so far down to find what you wanted.
