I really like this design! I love the bright colours used as well as the small doodle like drawings for the buttons - I may use something like this in my own design. I also like the text which looks like it could be her actual writing I also like this idea perhaps I could use this in my design also.

I also like the extra details over the images when hovered over them like the small lines and squiggles, it makes exploring the website much more interesting!

However one fault for this website is that the images took a while to load but the images that loaded up were bright and attractive so it wasn't uninteresting so it improved it by it being bright and interesting to look at.

I love the texture used, it looks like an old envelope or cardboard of some kind as well as the celotape which I think really brings the design together.
There isn't a great deal of interactivity but everything that needs to be seen is on the first page. All the work is to be seen and can be enlarged once pressed.

However I do like this design I think it may be too simple for what I would like to do for my website, I would prefer there to be alot more interactivity and feel this is too simple.

The design reminds me alot of the apple/ipod display with the buttons to further pages are lit in bright colours with the simple image; however I think the buttons for portfolio and services buttons are not very clear unlike the others, but are still thought through because when the mouse is over the button it displays it underneath. Additionally the services button doesn't mix in with the background unlike the others as it has a black background when over a light spot.

However I do like the design aspect of this website I like the background and the style of buttons used it is very functional there isn't alot of interactivty unlike some of the websites I've researched which are more like games but this website is more practical and showing the work of the person.

Additionally the background and the white text doesnt show through well together I would have it with a slightly transparent block colour behind the text similar to the images.

This is very similar to the style of animation I want to do, I like the intro it subtly captures your attention. I also like the interaction of the different medias through out the animation with the hands moving and changing the scene. I found it really interesting and has helped me develop my ideas further.

I really like these adverts, they are very colourful and I like the mix of media used using clay to create an animation. Although I don't plan on using clay I would like to use other medias other to create an interesting mash of techniques in my animation.
