ARTM2210 Intro to Web Design

Just another Intro to… site

Monthly Review: Single Page Site

I decide to go with AlterED’s website, at http://altered.cc/ The thing that caught my attention was the content and how the designer complimented their purpose. The site talks about green energy. The graphic at the top was eye catching and once you begin to move throughout the page you get to interact more. I like how there are more interactive graphics as you move downwards. You do not have to use the mouse to see graphics as you move which is nice they appear as needed.

As far as color goes they went with simple “primary colors”; red, blue, yellow, and green. It makes the content simpler by using simple colors. Any one of any age can appreciate the site. I believe the page was meant to reach any audience all though I could imagine older audiences finding so many colors distracting or too much. Over all I believe the page is entertaining to look at and makes you want to scroll to reveal more. But also with that since there are only graphics at the upper portion I think it would help to be spread out more so that you don’t simply ignore the content on the bottom because it suddenly has no motion graphics.
