So part two of my analysis... Design. This is where our site needs ALOT of help. They follow almost none of the principals that we discussed in class.
The alignment is off on the left hand side text as well, in some sporadic ways. This mixing of alignment continues throughout all of the pages represented. On the about me section the alignment is a little better than other pages, with all left alignment, rotating which side it shows up on however. The schedule day uses this category very effectively, but overall the alignment on the whole site needs to be reworked. Proximity is used slightly better. Most related texts are close to each other, though headings have a bit more space then necessary between them and the related paragraphs. On the About me page there should be a little more space seperating each of the individual profile / photo combos from the others. On the Merchants page the photos could be put closer to the description of the artists.
Repition at first seems to be used effectivly on this site, but the inconsistancies come out the more pages that you look at. The navigation at least is the same on all of the pages. At first the color scheme and templates seem to be fairly consistent with minor changes. Their seem to be two different sets of headlines. The food, sponsors, event schedule, community events, and photo pages have a completely different heading. The links and titles change colors and fonts inconsistantly.
The contrast on the main page is alright for the most part, with dark blue and green on the tan. the links however are a little too pale and don't stand out as much as they should. The links have this same critique throughout most of the page. Most of the time the headings differ enough in size and color to be ok.
This size needs a major revamping on all of the categories. The information comes across clearly and is easy to find, but it needs to be presented in more professional manner.
