I enjoyed visiting Jake Mathew’s website. He is an animator and designer. When first entering the website, a video is playing which shows his animations. The video interests the viewer, making them want to further explore the website. The viewer also has the option of clicking on the images below the animation to watch entire animation clips. When clicking on an animation clip, the video pops up in another small screen. There is information provided about the video for the viewer. Under the video clips on the homepage there is a link to find information on Jake. I find this website interesting and easy to navigate. Minimal scrolling is necessary to view the website and the information is neatly placed on the page.

I think that Matt Convente’s personal website is very well designed. It is simple and easy to navigate. He has a navigation on the left side of the website that always remains on the page. This navigation makes it easy to view Matt’s work. When visiting the website, the viewer does not have to scroll to find information, which makes the navigation easier. His artwork is in categories two categories: print and photography. The photography section consists of black and white photographs, while his graphic design pieces are under the print category. In addition to pieces done in school in the print category, Matt also includes work done at his various internships. When clicking on one of his pieces there is an option to zoom in and look at the piece more closely. This feature is particularly useful when looking at the photographs and images that have small type. On the left navigation there is also a links titled “about”, “contact”, and “links”. Matt’s resume can be downloaded in the about me section.
