Project 4-Before/After

For project 4, our Team Aquarius, recreated the Aquarius Records website, www.aquariusrecords.org.

We first created a brand new site, and then performed approximated 10 user tests to see what problems that users may experience. We found that most users went straight to the search bar when asked to find the albume "Australasia" by the metal band "Pelican". Most users seemed to have an easy time navigating throughout the site. Below are links to Noah Jackson's blogsite, which have both the first and second versions of our website. You will just need to click on Old Aquarius for the first version and Aquarius Records, Update 20 APR 2007, for the second version. Enjoy

Textbook prices site

I thought that this might be a good example of a site that makes it easy for students to buy books for cheap. I know, many people/students may already know of this site, but for those who don't, you'll be able to save some phat cash buy checking out this search engine. It basically finds all of the cheapest sites throughout the web and gives a great summary of cheap e-commerce sites. Alright, I have given you a little not-so-secret secret, no fly with it.

Top 10 blogsites

Alright, I know.....It has been a long time since we last met, whoever is reading this. I do have a link that I will post once I am back at my house. I am at school right now. I have bookmarked on my computer, a link that deals with the top 10 blog sites on the internet. I thought it showed some interesting examples of the variations and solutions regarding the blog as a design medium. For now, I will leave you in suspense, but keep in mind that it will be worth your wait............maybe.

Okay, I'm back. Here is the link for the website. http://elliottback.com/wp/archives/2006/04/16/top-ten-best-designed-blogs/
