ALL THE FOOD IS POISONED!

3 Walls Web Critique

Content
The content is thorough...but if I wasn't asked to look at this for class, I might have passed it by because of the layout.

Layout
When you first look at this website...unless you already know what it is...it is difficult to tell what it is about. The front needs to be both exciting and informational...especially when it is not well known. I do like the tabs on the left side, but the main images to the right don't really tell us what the place is all about...those images could have been somewhere else in the website.

Design
I really like that the tab/links were located on the left side on a wooden background...wood=walls. Other than that I think the design is lacking interest. I would like more upfront visuals ...maybe visuals that go into the links of artist in residence...like having an image of the artist and the art.

MCA Web Critique

Content:
I like how you can find the content in many different places on tabs or already given on the front of the site. I am not sure why Enews and JoinNow are in bright color tabs and the rest of the important information one needs is on the neutral tone tabs. I honestly don't see any content missing that I would like to know. I really do like that the education tab is easily accessible for teachers!

Layout:
It is easy to see the tabs used to find all of the information.
Again...the layout is such that it is easy to find information because layout has put it in multiple areas of the site....maybe trying to be intuitive to different methods people would have for looking for information.

Design:
I really like the new design! I think it is sleek and clean looking...reminding me of the MCA. There are striking images, but not too many on the front of the site. The images and layout seem very intentional.
I like the asymmetry in the design.
