This lawn art site really confused me at first, but then i wated and it chaged to the homepage...i dunno if that wsa supposed to happen, but it did. The images are kinda blurry, and with all of the organic shapes it is kinda confusing and the layout is lost. I get that it was supposed to just be different than most sites, but its kinda not as functional as most.

This lawn art is very GREEN! i like the payout, the only thing that really bothers me is the color green chosen for the area around the site, it kinda clashed with the grass. But besides that...it is simple and easy to use. The navigation works, and is there on every page to use and to guide you! The images are stong and work well. The site could be a little more exciting, but it gets the job done!

This lawn art sire is simple and has really good images. The navigation buttons work well and are easy to spot and use. The only real negative i can find about it is the font used for the quotes, it is kind of hard to read. But i like the heading for each page, it is bold and strong!

USI Web Site

The main page is simple and concise. It uses colors well since they are the USI colors. Navigation is easy. You can obviously see right where the navigation buttons are. The drop down menus work really well. The pictures arent bad. I really like the changing pictures at the top. They are laid out well and usually interesting. I think we could use more intersting things to offer, but that is more with the universit as a whole. But we should try to show more student orginazations as being really important, and things that would get prospective students excited. I think the mix of serious and entertainment is good, but as a student, more entertainment is always nice. Parents will like the acedemic side, but we want fun.
Personally I think if anything needs work it is the myUSI. I know they just redid it, but its so boring. Make me excited that I attend here!!
I like IUs website..the Bloomington campus one. IUB.EDU
The backgroud offers a graphic so it isnt so plain. It is also laid out really well. They also offer more interesting links sich as Arts & Diversity and Sports.

MY lawn art

I took an approach that most people didnt, I wanted it to be playful. I tried to make it look bright and cheery. I kept the same layout throughout and just tweeked colors and placing. I took pictures and then edited some of them in photoshop to make them more interesting and to allow some to fit well together. For example teh knome in the garden..wasnt really there! ha creative riiiight?? To return home on the 2nd tier pages to click in the middle of the flower, I realize noe that i should have included navigation buttons on all pages.
