How clearly is the content organised?

cmd9:
All of the content is broken down into menu boxes and its easy to locate what you are looking for. This makes the web page easy to use and navigate.
leoburnett:
All of the content is in the middle of the page and its not fully detailed. Also it’s not easy to locate what you want using the actual menu, but at the bottom it has all the content in a easy to use menu box.


How relevant is the content of the site?

cmd9:
It’s a online portfolio and has all the content you would expect. Including the designers works and a profile. However it doesn’t have enough content on the designer. For most of the projects you get 1 thumbnail and a few lines of text, which isn’t that helpful for research purposes, in which it makes a poor content.

leoburnett:
All there work is short movies. But their slogan is “Big ideas come out of big back pencils”. Therefore the webpage makes sense. As you begin the website with a pencil and text and after a few clicks you locate their finished products. I think this is clever and makes the web application look funky and futuristic.


How easy is it to use?

cmd9:
Suprisinlgy it is easy to use and navigate. All the information is found from the 3d menus. All of the designers works and displayed in data order with a simple description at the bottom.

leoburnett:
It can be hard to use, as the tect is always moving you don’t always click on the desired menu, and if this happens is hard tog o back to the previous menu.


What does it look like?

cmd9:
Very appealing, theres a simple background, with five bold 3d menu boxes, with float and move around depending on where you roll over them. The style is basic, but the boxes make it easy and fun to use. The design overall is simple too, which makes it interesting.

leoburnett:
The cursor is a pencil rather than a normal mouse, which makes the application look very unusual. The site has white background and all the content in the middle is written in black. Overall it looks dull due to the lack of colour variation used.
