One more thing!


I went to a flea circus last weekend....and boy(!!!)...what a silly experience. I guess it was very much a traditional Victorian Era thing to do....and ...do try to catch one sometime.

Web Critique: Experimental Sound Studio

Content:
Wow...reading away as I was...I was really impressed by the clarity in their writing. They put tons of informations out there but it is sectioned off neatly so that a reader can easily skim through and find the exact information he/she is looking for when searching this site. I'm really happy to know about this. I instantly emailed my boyfriend and said we should start checking out dates and go enjoy some experimental sounds.

Layout:
It is funny...I was impressed by the layout and design of the last critique but I am really impressed by the crisp layout of this one...or is it crisp design? Hmph. Anyway...I thnk everything is clearly layed out for the reader to sift through. The layout format is consistent with an image and then info...with titles for each section.

Design:
The design is calming. very organized. Very clear. Very easy on the eye.
The funny thing is though...it is an experimental music p;lace and the site is so perfect and organized! ha!
Well....I guess I'll have to see what I think of the site's reflection on the environment when I go listen to a show sometime.




I'm jealous of people who have time to paint their hands and take photos....maybe we can incoporate this into a cyberped project???? Hmmmm...just a thought.

ADDED A NEW LINK

Ok...ladies and gents...
I've added a new link to make you smile.
It is called BOOM BOX...you'll see the link to the right of your screen and you can just click on it and have a little fun....plus...such a great little music mix.

Hope you had a great week and I missed you all on Thursday....my darn TA schedule got in the way!!!!

oh wait....I'm going to try to share right here....

Web Critique: Stockyard Institute Chicago

Content:
The site begins with a mission statement making its purpose clear from the moment you enter the site. The tabs are clear and easy to see so that one looking at the site can easily navigate. There is just enough information to understand the site and to get interested. If you need to ask questions there are clear links to reach someone.

Layout:
I actually really like the layout. When the opening page of Stockyard loads onto the computer screen it is instantly clear how to search for information involving the Stockyard Institution. They do not have too much info on any of their tabs making their site easy to navigate.

Design:
Design wise...I am quite drawn to the site. I like the rough feel...with photo image and cutout color. When you click on Press and Contact there are no images. I do wish they would have put images on those two links as well...I mean...why wouldn't you? :)
