ARTM2210 Intro to Web Design

Just another Intro to… site

Final Monthly Review

The website I chose that was related to or final project is Vans.com. The overall feel of Vans and the company we created are very similar. I feel like our website, because it uses background images and uses colors that compliment them, has better unity than the Vans sight color-wise. I also think because we use scenic background images that it gives the sight an overall better texture. The sites are similar in that we use very bold type and Vans uses many bold shapes throughout the site. One element the Vans sight does very well in is navigation. The nav bar has a large drop down when you scroll over “mens”, “womens” etc, that shows all the sub categories and  a “shop by” option all without going to another page. Whereas our site you need to click on Mens or Womens to see the products. All in all the Vans site’s navigation makes up for its bold, blandness, where our site is the opposite.
