website reviews

1) Roth Aniko - http://www.rothaniko.hu/



This is a website of an artist called Roth Aniko from Hungary. Her illustrated-style is strongly presented within the website. I like that she combines her own face with the illustration on the front page, it makes people remember who she is. And along with the colour and the font, it makes people feel looking at this website is going to be interesting and joyful.



The layout is quite clear when you go in to the website, I could say it's user-friendly in terms of the interaction design. I really like the 'ship-carriage' and the balloons and even the fish because it flee when you click it. I also think the way that you can pick at the thumbnail of her works is effective as a work display, and when you enlarge it, there are 2 'angels' on the top which make the whole display more elegant.
I don't really like the font when I was looking at the info bit, as some of the words were not very clear because of the font. But overall I found the font and the website's style matches really well.


2) The Egg Republic - http://www.theeggrepublic.com/



The Egg Republic is an agency which specialized in 3D animation, branding and interactive works based in New York. The website itself is very computer game alike. The little robot is like controlling the screen and I like it acts like a human too. There is a little helicopter flying in the home page and when you poke it, it disappear like it had been shot by guns which I found it quite interesting.



You can pick on the works they produced and also pick the ones at the back like a pile of folder, the way that the information presented was like in a computer game too, where it appears like typing in the computer. It's also really cool that the links are all connected like a runway and I think it represented the meaning of transporting information well. The whole website is very 3D based, you can tilt around the works, which is fascinated but I found it hard to handle after times as it keeps moving when I tried to read the text.


3) Earth Pilgrim - http://www.sachabiyan.com/



This is a website of a photographer called Sacha Biyan. This website is very simple and clear, very easy to use and very understandable. No fancy fonts or designs. The website is based on grey and brown which echoes with his works really well as most of his photos are black and white. And so is the calming background music.



I think the layout of the website looks like a book which makes his journal and photos even more professional and serious. Also in contrast of the clean design, his works look appealing and fascinated. This simple design gives people an image of a composed person which I think suits Biyan as he had travel around the earth and has a lot of different and precious experiences. It's kind of a reflection on his website and works.
