The web is, first and foremost, about content. But we cannot separate content from form. That is, the design of a page is as much a part of its content as the text and images on it. So, as we begin our exploration of web authoring, it's important for us to have a common language to discuss design.
The goal of this assignment is to use that common language to discuss the design of actual sites. But before we get to that, let's start with some intuition:
- Find a page you think is well-designed. This can be any page you know and visit, or it can be a page you happen upon while surfing something like Cool Homepages (http://coolhomepages.com).
- Comment to this Post and write a paragraph or two (or more) about the design. Essentially, answer the question "What makes this good?"
- When you comment, use your first name and last initial only.

First off, I went here: http://www.blackvelvet-design.com/
I kind of scrolled on down the page and liked how the design looked, it really caught my eye. The colors look nice together, red, black and white. Not only that, but the fun designs and stuff were nice to look at. Plus, the option to switch languages is a nice bonus.

I liked the design because it tells you about the web page and what they do to change it and update it regularly
The web page that I like is www.nfl.com. I really like this web site and how it is put together. I like how there are many different links that not only take you to different parts of the website, but there are also links that take you to other web pages as well. Another thing that I like about that website is that it has a menu bar and it has on its home page, it has a section with the top stories of the day. Also I like that it has a poll. One more thing that I like about the website is that it has videos on the homepage.
This web design is cool and they did spend time on this design. I liked all the colors they used. It brings out the whole thing.
I web page that I visit is spoonyexpiremen.com. The site reviews various bad movies and video games.The page design alows for easy navigation.By having all links at the top of the page.On the main page their are the latest reviews and upcoming reviews. Now what makes this page good is the fact how this games and movies get ripped apart.

The page i was on had some alerting side links. The page had a nice tone of color. The main topic of the web is Da Vinci. The website is very well organized.
http://www.nfl.com/
I like this website. It had a lot of things on it that got my attention, plus i just like football. I think the more color and bold print you have on the website it draws poeple to look at it. There are other links on it that go to other websites was cool too.
The page has eye catching color schemes to it. It also shows a creative slide show of interesting foods. The website trys to make people be interested in there proucts so they want to come and try them. Also the site has many bright colors so that it stands out to the public.
I went to http://www.nikebauer.com/ the websight was cool. It was very organized an was easy to find all the diffrent hockey equpment. It was all under diffrent catogories like stick were under stickes and skates were under skates. In stead of evry thing being throwing together on one page.
I went and found this site http://www.mattskoog.com/ which i thought was good. things that made it good was that it was easy to navagate and that had a cool backround.

I went to the site http://www.mattskoog.com/ and i liked how the picture moves down when you move your mouse up towards the top then the different thumbnails show up. I also liked the colors they used. It has different pictures of different things that have a lot of neon lights. I also like how you can contact them if you want to.

I went to http://www.blackvelvet-design.com/ and I liked it because I like this persons background and the colors they used.
I liked http://www.swim345.com/
I liked the way the colors were kind of gray and the Clouds. I also liked the way that the text came up when you scrolled over the one part.
The reason i think that this site is good is because i love the effects it has on the top where you can look through what is on the site, and also i liked the color of it very much
http://www.mattskoog.com/
I went here and I think that the page is well-designed because I love the colors used and the design at the bottom. It is very apealling to the eye. I also like how it is set up to navigate the page. i think it's a very cool page.
http://www.trinis.net/ is the site I looked at.
The design is effective in many ways. Aside from it looking pleasing, it also is very effective when it comes to functionality. There isn't any scrolling to get the information they are presenting you with, the images are very nice and clean, and the links to the other pages are displayed at the top of the site. The links are clearly labled and the headlines display what the information shows.
The web page I looked at(http://www.oldmind.us/omp.html) had many great interesting features. The backround was dark and mysterious. There was a movable logo design so you could better see a clickable window. All of his links have an urban design when u drag over them which is very appealing.
This website http://www.adhesive-studio.com/ has great animation while it is still fast and don't have to wait for it to load. The colors are great and it's easy to follow.

The site I like is www.mets.com. I like this site because of how well constructed it is, along with other MLB teams. I like all the links it has that takes you to different pages with interested stats or information.
I think that myspace.com is a well designed website. The navigation bar at the top of the page makes everything easy to look at because everything you need is right in it. You can look at your frinds, your mail, your friend requests, your profile, edit your profile, and a lot more.

I liked http://www.albertobiasi.it/main.htm because it had this guy holding up a image and when u move your mouse it would follow it even if when to the other side of the screen it would follow. Also it had a cool loader the hourer glass would become a dimade of driffent colors.
I went to warriorhockey.com. I really liked the design and the animation. Everything was pretty simple and i was able to find everything easily. I also really liked the videos it had on the site.
http://espn.go.com/
This is a good website because there is all your information about sports by a click of a button. There is easy navigation on this page, putting all of the differant sports together at the top. There is also the most recent news whichs shows it is updated often. this is a good website.

This web page is an example of a good one because of how it is organized. It is simple for browsers to get where they want and get the information they need while also looking clean and attractive.
