Website Review - Marissa Poole

I was pleasantly surprised with how lovely Marissa's site is.
I think I'm going to employ a similar type of layout for my own personal site.
I hope she doesn't mind. :)
The conception is clean and clear, and visually pleasing.
Where her site is clean and professional, mine is punky and avante garde.
I love how she has all her work just there. Right there to view.
I need to stop thinking like a webdesigner and more like an artist.
She uses space so amazingly well. The white site appears like a blank white canvas
wherein her work is displayed so well.

Pro's:
  • clean, simple
  • easy to update
  • easy on the eyes
  • modern looking
  • good sense of space
  • professional

Con's:
  • name isn't anywhere
  • margins distract. add leftmargin=0 rightmargin=0 topmargin=0 bottommargin=0 to the body tag.
  • the name of the site should just be your name. not 'revolution'
  • not good for small monitors. will break the code. break code = ugly broken site
  • the css/html markup isn't validated.



(this was done while people were setting up, so please do not think I wasn't paying attention)

HARRELL FLETCHER - notes

I chose to do further research on Harrel Fletcher . Where: Born 1967. From Portland, Oregon. He was originally collaborating with an artist by the name of Jon Rubin within Oakland, California. Later on, he made artwork all over America (and beyond). He normally has people in the area that he is in work with him to create the work. He, essentially, helps build communities. He does public work, with other people. He also does virtual work (learning to love you more), as well as installations and performances for various areas and museums. When: He's still a practicing artist, as are most (if not all) New Media artists. His work applies to the here and now due to it's interactive nature, it's social commentary, and candid-ness. His most recent project was Corentine's Turtle , wherein, a young boy's sculpture idea was brought to life by Fletcher. This was done in 2006. How: Fletcher employs many different techniques to create his work. It ranges from drawing and sculptu...

Project Review - Tricia Richardson

Tricia Richardson Tricia's movie was wrought with nostalgia, obsession, and collection. I loved the way she used the hands to tell a 'memory' story about item collection, nostalgia, memory, and relationships. The lighting was great, the motions were lovely, and the pacing was appropriate and sweet. The song was great. I didn't mind the bittersweet lyrics, they added to the movie overall, giving it more of a sweet, slightly sad, mood. Pro's: simple, pleasing to the eyes well paced good music appropriate mood playful nostalgic Con's: ending credits too drawn out song lyrics a little too bitter, but still fit. transition from hands to fake hand people a little jarring.
