Pacific Northwest College of Art - Untitled Magazine

Commented 6 months ago

- The main banner could be used better. I like the 3 block below it. They do a good job of creating interest.
- The Explore bar seems kinda wasted. Most people don't randomly click on stuff.
+ A magazine website designed by a web designer!
+ They've done an excellent job presenting the content.

+ Generally polished design
+ Good attention to detail
+ Nice choice of fonts

- Feels like it's lacking purpose. Who's this site for?
- When I hit the homepage, there's nothing that pulls me in. Blah!

Wow, that is small text. If the text doesn't fit, cut don't shrink.

It's a credibility indicator, but there are a lot of things bad about how it's being used (placement, dominance, jaggi-ness, etc).

It's nice to see them saying something meaningful about themselves on the homepage, but there's too much text. Needs to be more concise.

And the gradients need to go. What year is it?

Florida International University - Undergraduate Catalog

Thought there was something broken at first. After checking in a couple browsers, I was wrong.

Huge white banner, random images at the bottom. I'd be curious to learn the motivation behind those design choices.

Not a fan of the typography either. They use white text on a yellow background. That's a cardinal error.

They also fall into the mold of other Fine Art schools who do weird and/or crazy stuff with the design because they think it's more interesting. If it doesn't add to your message or branding, it's getting in the way.

Sounds like they found the Chupacabra
