Monthly review 3

Zappos and Cole haan are very unique shoe selling sites. Each has its own style and way of directing it’s user.
Lets take a look at each sites balance. Cole Hann goes foe asymmetrical balance for a good portion of it s pages, most of the products page do not follow this pre-established format. I don’t find a problem with this because most selling sites do this at least with their product pages. Zappos does something very similar with the product pages. It uses some sort of the rule of thirds
Unity is a different matter. For both sites I feel like there very little flow that directs my eyes. For both it they both have the shoe s pointing to the sidebar which may or may not help the user.
Thirdly is the emphasis. On zappos the emphasis on the home page is put on the department bar at the top. also emphasis is put on the the changing image in the center on later photos. For Cole Haan it s is different story on the home is on the photos and and images. I feel like Cole haan use emphasis bit better.
Lastly is layout I feel cole haan use it more effectively better than zappos
Zappos seemed like it still at factory setting and needs bit more tweeking. The mood ig et from cole haan is that it is hip and cool.
Both sites use these important parts of design effectively but overall cole hann has a better feel to it in the end.
