Lexia and other sites

So I had some difficulties with the “Lexia” piece. I do not think it was working because I got to do about 2 pages and even that did not make any sense at all. When I read the interview I was even more confused. I got that it was interactive but I did not know if it was a story or showing different types of internet type behind the sense stuff. I wish it was a little clearer on where to go and what to do or even the language… the layout was interesting and different if I was even looking at the right one.

I thought that Chasing Our Tails was interesting but very dull at the same time. I liked that it was interactive but it made me not fully read what he was saying. The times I did read I was either confused or it just wasn’t interesting. I liked the idea of having the bottom toolbar. Though at first I wasn’t sure what it really was, after I started clicking on it I figure out it took you back to the pervious places. Overall, it was well done; simple and professional. It made you pick the section and think about what you were pick unlike other sites were it didn’t matter.

I really liked the Cracked Mirror. It was very interesting and kept you reading. I like how it was actually a cracked mirror and kept that image throughout the site. I wish there was more than just one way to click and go but I think it would be more confusing if there was. I also did not like the only way to go back was to use the back button because sometimes it would error out or you would just have too many pages to go back on before you got to the start. Overall, I liked how it was set up with the images and story line.

My favorite was the Life with Father. I really liked how the pictures were set up. They were not very clear and the colors were a little distorted. I like it helped to bring the words to life. Since it didn’t seem like a happy piece if the pictures were the correct way it would not have as much impact on the audience. I also liked how you had to completely scroll down before you got to the link to next page. It forced the reader to see and look at everything.
