Week 9 Peer Review

I spoke with Cotie Goozee FM of cotiegoozee.com
The recommendations for my website were to put my name next to my 
logo, add about me with picture, and move my social network icons to the top 
of the page. 

I spoke with Destiny Graham FM of destineygrahamdesigns.com
The recommendations for my website were to make a personalized homepage
and active thumbnails in color.

Site Analysis 3

Jen Pennington 
http://www.rhizomedesign.com/

I felt the homepage to be interesting and functional. The body of works was 
represented well and professional. I enjoyed the depth, which was presented 
through the application of the designs in logo, print, video, and websites. 
I would like to incorporate a more interesting homepage.

I enjoyed the amount of work displayed on her site, the load time was a bit slow,
but worth the wait. I really liked the application of her work into the many contexts
and hope to employ my work into a broader spectrum.



Juri Seo WDIM

I feel the content on this site to be very clean and full. I enjoyed the video and
process displayed in a tidy way. I would like to display my process in a clean 
manner like this.




Professional Feedback 3


I spoke with Robert Pennington, photography instructor, about my site and 
this was his feedback:

My navigation is simple, effective, but needs more depth.

My work represented is very editorial in nature and he would like to see 
more detail in creating, variety, or more depth in areas I would like to pursue.

His thoughts regarding my logo are that the a&m were well blended, however 
with the horizontal lines it appears very environmental (ocean and mountains) 
and seems more corporate than personal. 
My response was that I am from Colorado and now live in Seattle was the 
inspiration for the design.

His response to my resume is that it is too thin and does not set me apart 
from other applicants. It minimizes my accomplishments.

He feels I have used too much white in my design and that my artwork should 
be more integrated into the over all look. Also, more typography development 
is needed.

He noted that videos can be used if they are short, not silly, and professional in 
content and appearance.
