Week 7 Peer Review

I had the opportunity to view Gabriella Trull's webpage: gabriellatrull.wix.com

I enjoyed the simplicity of the intro page, the neutral color scheme, and her font choice.
Her imbedded case studies were a nice touch.
She wis trying to work on alignment in the styling page, and learning how to imbed video
for the events page.
I enjoyed her writing section, it was well done and good information.
I mentioned the resolution of her imbedded pdf's could be a bit higher to fix the fuzzy
display of the text, she will work on it.

Overall, nice, clean, simple to navigate.

Professional feedback 1

My interview with Nancy O'Connell went well. She was well spoken and forward in her responses to the questions I posed:

What is your first impression?
Not enough color. Doesn't look like a designers site.

What do you thing of the navigation?
Everything works correctly, however it is not interesting. Adding more interesting fonts would be a good asset.

Do you like the variety of work represented? 
It looks like the work presented is mostly editorial work, would like to see more variety.

How do you feel about my logo?
The logo or "Mark" is not helping things. It needs work. Possible try to begin with a mood-board to help define your style.

Do you feel the resume is effective?
The link works so you are able to print it out.

What suggestions for improvement do you have?
More color, more fonts, more design. More like a publication in design.

How do you feel about video on websites and do you feel this would benefit from having some?
Finds videos distracting.

Do you like the color scheme used?
What color?! Needs more.


Overall, I enjoyed my talk with her and found her insight useful and thoughtful. I am in the process of working on my site, however, I am going to pause and create a mood-board to help define my style.
