WEEK 11 – Comparable Research Sites
I want to do Skyway, which is a drive-in restaurant. I looked at similar places and their websites. (https://www.skywaydrive-in.com/) Swensons- Their menu is very engaging while also being very easy to follow; the navigation is also clean and easy: http://swensonsdriveins.com/swensons-menu/ Sonic- Their menu is nicely segmented into sections for the types of food which youContinue reading “WEEK 11 – Comparable Research Sites”
WEEK 9 – Positive/Negative Design Examples
My negative design example comes from Yahoo.

WEEK 5 – Good/Bad Web Design
This week, I’m looking at good/bad examples of web design/layout. Starting with good examples, let’s look at Anime Planet.

WEEK 3 – Portfolio Web Design
So this week, I ended up making another website for myself!
