Style idea for the character designs for my project.

Mcdonalds site

I liked the style of the McDonald's site. I couldn't really understand it as it was in Japanese, but i really like the simplistic style and graphics from the simple loading bar, to the little animations running across the bottom of the main pageI'm guessing the user enters his or hers picture by email and the image is put on the MacDonald avatars on the site. The site was strange to use as it was in Japanese but from the looks of the design and layout if it had of been in English it would have been more than likely very easy to understand and navigate.

thefwa.com

Dragon Hunters. I really liked the layout and style of this page. It had simple animations with very detailed cartoon graphics. i found the page easy to use, using the mouse to navigate left and right of the web page.the movement of the dragon hunters flying device was annoying after a while i think it could have stayed with the mouse more when the user moves around. All in all tho i feel this site works well ion advertising the game, the graphics are very well done, and even the back drop is lavishly detailed.

Now

I wasn't keen on now when i 1st used it. the main feature i like about the site is the library book search. I think the site looks basic but it does its job and the information is relevant to the course well there was an overview of uni, i couldn't find to much information regarding web design, but the site's still being worked on.

IDEO

I don't like ideo's main page, it seems to cluttered, but when you click on and go to the the latest work page, the layout in my eyes works better. its more clean cut and the user can scroll thought the work. the content is relevant, and the idea to show case a lot of there work on the main page as a background is innovative but i just don't like the layout or style of the site. from looking through the site, most of the pages are every cluttered. You can tell the design has been well thought through i just didn't like the style of it

Sony

The Sony site was very simialer to the Apple site with the clean cut design and simlpe easy to use layout and user interface. the sony site uses a white backgroun and grey tabs shame as apple, but i think the Apple site works better with design layout and style. The content is relevant, shows all the products and information and all the tabs are easy to use.

Apple

This it the start up page for Apple site. Has a tab bar running across the top with all the different sections easily assessable. the page it very clean cut and stylish much like the apple products. Apple know how to design, i have a desk top mac and its very stylishly designed. the site is very user friendly all the sections are clearly lalbeled. the colour stlye is followed throught the site, white background and grey tabs. apples site is one of my favs sites just from the style and ease of use to buy products.

Joel Schafer

Joel started web design when he bought a html book in 1997 and carried through to being a graduate in web and media production. joels interview was short and sweet. he describes his work process, where he starts, and what key pionts he considers so follws,

"Coffee is very important and, of course, reading designer magazines and check award sites for inspiration. I always write down everything to paper before starting a software."
Joel schafer/ www.designinterviews.com

This thought process is realy the way to go with design work, putting pen to paper 1st, or roughing the design on paper.

he goes on to say that the next big deveopment in webpage design will be interactivity with 3d and movie clips.

Joel works clean and minimal with his design work for ease of use for the user. i hate web pages that are hard to navigate.

At the end of the interview he gives some advice for web design beginers, saying a good starting piont would be to check award sites for inspiration, read design magainzes and alwasy make a manusript before you start to produce.
