My design boards for the crit
I also left them some questions i wanted answering
Are the colours, images suite to my target audience?
Does there need to be links out ro set design websites or to Grant Majors website?
My peer feedback
- The nav bar is cool in that it looks like rings but unfortunately to me the rest doesnt really suit they style, its a bit too contemporary
- You need to make your bodycopy longer on the homepage, i almost missed it! the typeface needs to be middle earthy
- The Grant major button should be renamed to something like 'about the director', i have no idea that was even a name never mind the director
- Colours are good and really suit the style of LOTR
- Cant tell what the image is on the Grant major button
- keep referring to characters as 'he' i dont know who they are! i know your site is for true fans but it needs to make sense
- Each page needs an intro, it kin of jumps in without an explanation
- Maybe add a background colour/background photograph, looks a bit blank at the moment
- Are your pages going to scroll
- Images could have more detail to fit in with lotr style.
- You could propse a forum where fans can discuss your content
- Check your buttons for typos, over six million feet of film reel was used
- Intro on homepage needs spell checking
- I think that the colour scheme is definitely suitable, but i dont feel as though the hompage is eye catching enough. if it didnt say 'the lord of the rings', i wouldnt be able to tell wht the website was about for at least 5mins!
- Links to alternative websites would be useful as the user may want to learn more and not know where to find more info
- Will your illustrations have characters names on them? what if one of your users doesn't realise who legalas is from the illustrations and is confused by the fact youve called him 'he'. They may not know who his dad is from the films as they may be new fans of the movies
- You need to finish the content, as im a bit confused as to what will be on each page
- Are your pages going to scroll
- Are you going to explain every character from the film? what about less obvious characters like Gothmog?
- Sometimes it doesnt feel obvious that you need to hover over images to find the information
- I think your font needs more consideration, as it looks out of place ( the font that shows up when you hover over a character)
- i do think the colour scheme works well as in connotates the worldy feel of the films
- i think the hompage could be a little more exciting to drawin the audience
- i think the font and size on the 'Return of the king' acedemy awards roll over is a lot better than the font on the first page character roll over images, it is too big and detracts from the overall design aesthetic
- I would say always be mindful of the purpose, what are you trying to tell people
- Over all a good clean design aesthetic.
- I think the hompage will look better with a simple clean navigation at the top or bottom of the page, this will be more inkeeping with the design.
- I think this website is coming along well
- The naviagtion bar works well with your concept. The rings and the colour green.
- Maybe add gold to the outer part of the ring?
- Yes the images are suited to the target audience, but maybe they could be in more detail
- Yes, i think that to make your website better and to have a fountain of information, it would be benefical to link out to other websites on it.
- Try using a different layout for each page?
From this crit i have gathered a mixed response and some contrasting statements, i think one thing i need to improve which came from across the board was that i should make the homepage have a larger impact when the viewer comes to the page, also i should change the size of the type on the roll over images making it a smaller point, and also the type should be more suited to my audience. Also i should make the illustrations more detailed.
