Task 1: Website one: 1. The color of the website needs to be changed.

The bright colors of the website draw attention from the information and distract the viewer. The bright flashing colors should be changed to either all dark colors, or light colors. There should be left color variation, only one of two different colors as backgrounds. 2. There is too much movement in the websites. The moving titles make them hard to read. The flashing shapes make it hard to focus and are very distracting. The titles should stay still instead of scrolling across the background. Just get rid of the flashing shapes. 3. There isnt enough contrast between the words and the background making them hard to read. The words should be contrasting colors to the background, like black and white. 4. The constant change in color prevents the eye from flowing from one text box to the next. The color scheme should be more consistent. Take out the text boxes and put the words directly on the background or put all the text in one or two text boxes that are all the same color. 5. To many animations distract the viewer. Have only one animation at most in your website. Website 3: 1. There isnt enough space on the website. The information needs to be more spread out, put it on different pages. 2. Most of the website is empty. Get rid of the blank space at the end of the webpage. 3. The add scrolling across the page covers information and distracts the viewer. 4. Not enough information, to many ads and hyperlinks. Put the information found on the pages the hyperlinks go to, on another webpage. Website 6: 1. Not enough information, the website has very little information. Put more info on website. 2. Color, the bright colors are distracting and make it hard to read info. Change the bright colors to darker colors. 3. Movement, there is too much movement on the page, it distracts the viewer. Make the background a still image. 4. Color variation, there is too much color variation in the page. Use only one or two colors. Task 2: Website 1- Apple.com The apple website is a good website because it is well organized and clear. The colors used in the website are not too bright. Constant motion does not distract the viewer or make the website hard to view. Simple yet still interesting.
