Michael's Art 328 Process

I believe my 'critique' website should have these attributes:

1. Neutral design that allows the content to be the main focus
2. The design should use minimal graphics but rely on simple metaphors for navigation
3. The user should be able to quickly use any part of the site
4. The main section or home page should offer insight to the website's function and offer a point of departure that's easy to discover.
5. The point of departure should involve some sort of glimpse of each of the 3 websites in review.
6. Besides having a neutral and simple design, it still should engage interactivity and use trends that target our classroom demographic.
7. Styles need to be set up to allow for discrete identification of headings, titles, subtitles, body copy, links, and quotes.
8. A system of presenting screenshots needs to be established
9. A synopsis or concluding statement should be available for each website critique so that if a user does not have the time to read the full review they can still walk away with the gist of the critique. Maybe an optional PDF download.
   
10. Contact information
11. Possibly a biographical page that gives an understanding of the background and why me, the author might be qualified to give such a website critique?
12. The color palette should be quite homogeneous with a few contrasting colors for call to action areas and/or links
13. The theme of the website should be set in a tone that uses real life situations posed as questions that many people are inclined to comment on or investigate - then to make an analog comparison to the website in review. This will divert from a dry website of purely informing the viewer of my findings. To take it a step further these questions and responses could be done in a dry humoristic tone.
