My website review


Name of person you reviewed: Diogenes Nunez

What was the goal of the website?: Their goal of the website is to get people to donate money (No limit) to help people with their insurance or their health problems.

What design principles and concepts did they use?: They changed the style of the font to a Chinese looking style. The colors were only white, yellow, blue, and red. And they organized their pages to go to each topic (who,what etc.)

What design principles and concepts could they have used? They could have change the font style to something that was more easy to read like Times New Roman or Comic Sans Bold. He could have changed the color of the font on the hot spots because they match the color of the cross.

Did all the pages work correctly?: All of the pages besides one page (how) worked the same. It can’t load as fast as the others.

Did the web site have “good work flow” (links back and forth, consistency, etc)? How did they accomplish this? They have created good work flow by making each link on a page go to the main website. They added the real American red cross in the main page and even added a link to go to his profile.

If not, what could they have done to create a good work flow?

What were the web site strengths?: The strengths of the website was well organized pages, people could explore the website easily, provides a lot of information about their goals and what they do.

What were the web site weaknesses?: The weaknesses of the website was how the website looked. The font was hard to read, and the website looked like it was foreign.

Why did I choose to review the site? I chose to review the site because I knew the Person who made it and I just chose it because It was the first one I looked at.

Technology and how it effected my life

Technology effected my life when i was little. When i was little my parents bought me an Nintendo 64, at first i didn't how to play it but as i tried it out i got really good at the games. Because of that i got more interested in video games and i was thinking about going for game design. Another way technology affected my life was when the first time i went on the internet. I went on cartoonnetwork.com and my internet was really slow. Because my internet was slow i tried to find ways to get my internet faster so i could be happy with my internet. And thats how technology effected my life.

The way i made this picture is that i used Adobe Fireworks. With that i went to the bucket with paint (tool) to choose my background. With that i used textures and choose my gradient to be sort of a pattern of circles. But first before i did that i went to the shape tool to choose a rectangle as my background. Then i used other shape tools and i just played around with it and thats how i made my picture.
