Folklore critiques

Zac:

What works best:

-The colors are visually interesting/look really well together. I just personally love the combo of light blues and black so that may just be me.

-I think the images compliment the story really well-each image ties in to the story so it’s not like you’re asking “Why is this included?”

-It works well being centered

What I would improve:

-At least when I opened my browser, I had to zoom out a tiny bit to be able to read through the story. It wasn’t that big of a deal, because we all have that problem, but I think that if we had knowledge of how to make it look it’s best on all browsers and monitors than that is the first thing I would do.

-Maybe add an animation feature where the crows actually look like they are flying down, I think that would look pretty cool and add a lot of visual interest.

Milt:

What works best:

-The images are really abstract and visually interesting.

-The images compliment the story really well.

-I think that the images are what really makes the story interesting. I’ve looked over it twice and each time I’ve found something new that I didn’t notice the first time.

What I would improve:

-I think I would make the images more colorful-maybe draw more attention to certain aspects(like he did with the eye, it pops out at you)

-Personally, I feel like it would be a little more visually interesting if the images were more centered

-Maybe add a scrolling effect where instead of scrolling with the scrollbar, you can just click to each one.

Rachel:

What works best:

-The image of the tower and how Rapunzels hair flows down the page

-The jumps to paragraphs works really well

-Even though there is just one image

-The colors worked really well

What I would improve:

-It would be cool to have the hair moving with the page as well

-Make the jumps a little smoother, it seemed to jump really fast

Jacob C:

What works best:

-The animation of all the different images

-Even though the background is really plain, it works well with the story especially at the end when it seems as if the water is getting higher

-Really liked the moving gourd

What I would improve:

-Add a blue background throughout the whole page

-Too much white space

-Add a jquery so it jumps

Brian:

What works best:

-Each level of hell is laid out well and explained

-I like how it goes from red to black

What I would improve:

-Maybe make the images bigger and more related to each level somehow

-Add a Jquery

-Maybe add a little devil that floats down with the page when you scroll

What I would improve:

-Maybe add fire as a background somehow, or have fire at the bottom and animate it

-Change the colors around

Laura :

What works best:

-I really liked the jumps to each image, I think that it made it really interesting.

-Love the vibrant colors, illustrations are really well done!!!

-I really like how texturized the last image is.

What I would improve:

-I am not sure if this is just how my browser is, but it has all the images at the very left with a lot of blank white space towards the right. Maybe what I would do instead is center all of the images, and then just add a blue background behind that so it looks a little more interesting.

-Or she could just put the text at the side next to the images.

Justin L:

What works best:

-Really good illustrations

-Good font, it fits in with the story!

-Images fit in well with the story

What I would improve:

-Add the Jquery

-Add in the title of the story on there

-Fill up the whole webpage with the images instead of just on the side

-Or maybe even center all the images, then just add a plain background

Ryan :

What works best:

-Really good illustrations

-Incorporated into the story really well

– colors work really well together

-good layout

What I would improve:

-Making it so it would look good on all monitors/browsers, but that’s definitely more advanced than what we know how to do now.

-Add jumps from one image to the next

Lizzie:

Evan:

What works best:

-The Illustrations are really good

-Colors

-I like how the smoke comes disappears behind the mountain and comes out the other side

-Images tied into story well

What I would improve:

-Add a Jquery

-Move the “liquor” text that is on the barrel down so it is more on the barrel than half on half off.

Latiyfa:

What works best:

-Really nice illustrations

-Love how the images move!

-Colors work really well

-Text and images work really well together as well

What I would improve:

-Not sure if it was just my laptop, but viewing the webpage was a little slow and laggy

Katherine:

What works best:

-Everything fits into the story

-Illustrations are good

-I like how you can click on the footprints and it will take you to the next part
