Nevermind, its brown now.

Had to change my color, so now I'm gonna research and make a website about brown.

My color to research: ORANGE

I'm going to make a website about the color orange for the next assignment.


Linked Haiku html

Our next assignment was to create a 3 page website that depicted the haiku poem we picked in the last assignment. I decided to keep my design simple and clean and use color cues to show the links.

2 Unsuccessful Websites

http://www.havenworks.com/

Umm, it's a little too cluttered. And that's an understatement.

I think the point of this website is to crash old PCs. I could be mistaken though.

2 Successful Websites

http://jessicahische.com

This website works because the navigation is very clean and easy to understand, while at the same time having a lot of very interesting content. Jessica is a typographer and illustrator, which makes her type work really stand apart from other designers. Her work loads up quickly and there are good descriptions into what the work was for and the process behind it.

This is an interesting designed Flash-based website. It's for a design company that does print, identity, and web based stuff. It may be hard to figure out how to navigate the site at first, but the rollover animations on the windows clearly indicate where to click to get to different areas of the site. The sub-menus have good information arranged in an organized manner. What I really liked was how they included the challenges behind each project they took on, and the solutions they discovered.
