DESIGNING FOR WEB//WEB DESIGN WORKSHOP TASK//OUGD504

In the studio workshop we had to do a quick sketch of a basic idea of how we wanted our homepage of our website to look:

We then had a crit, this was my feedback:

• clean, simple design, will be easy to navigate 
• clear, bold header, instantly know whose the website is
• attention will be focused on image
• white background means role design isn't over complicated and busy, paired with black text gives it a minimalist feel
• good placement of logo
• really simple layout would work well aesthetically 
• navigation easy to find
• you have contact details at the bottom of the page do you need a separate page for contact details, do you need both?
• clear navigation = good
• clear navigation
• basic layout, straight to the point
• contact details work well in footer
• communicates well
• not very original 
• the simplicity works well to display the work and let that be the main focus
• perhaps the logo and the name could be swapped in position so that the logo is the first thing a client sees?
• like the footer contact details, as its neat and communicates well
• the idea of having the design studio as a homepage photo is good - think it shows where the work comes from
• legible and clear
• I think circular logos look really nice in top left hand corners
• the website might be too plain
• logo wouldn't really attract attention
