EDU Checkup: Colorado State, Fairfield, Grove City College
Posted October 24th, 2009 by Nick DeNardis
Last weekend marked the first birthday for EDU Checkup! With this exciting milestone comes a few goodies. The most important is a regular schedule and the return of the weekly wrap up on eduStyle. The others will be coming shortly.
This week I reviewed three sites, Colorado State University, Fairfield University and Grove City College. Great stuff going on with all three especially in the area of design. My favorite was Colorado State, it was the most contemporary and spacing was very well defined.
The use of photography really set the tone and identity for these schools, the weakest use of photography went to Groove City. Not because their photos were bad, it was more about of the location of the photos, they did not have high prominence compared to the other.
I hope you enjoyed the reviews this week and stay tuned next week while I continue on the regularly scheduled episodes.
