Project 2 Review

Cassie April

One thing I learned is that the credential of the author's is of high importance in the subject of cooking. Of course a chief who has experience, schooling, and a name is going to know more about cooking and the complexities of sushi. Authors of hard copies (books) receive more credit due to the fact they have a dedicated section of the book for biography.

Visuals provide credibility for food texts. It seems that the most respected sites and the sites viewers are most likely to try are the sites that look the best and have the best looking pizza. Video is a great way to describe the cooking process. It lets the viewer see the technique, allowing them to reproduce it much easier.

Adam Ward

The interesting thing is that Adam's text is that they are also very visual. The text I would most likely to follow would be the YouTube videos. The provide the best visuals and even show the extremely complex techniques required to build a guitar. Again, I think having good visuals also increases credibility of the website. I, as a viewer, am most likely to follow a guide that looks good and provides great visuals with the different steps.

Austen Willis

Again, I learned how visual affects the viewer. In this case I learned that the color scheme of Roger Ebert attracts a much older crowd. Roger Ebert's site will not rise to the top in today's market. The leader's in today's market are upbeat and colorful with much contrast. Many of today's largest sites also include animations, trailers, and other moving pictures.

Top Site... Cassie April

Her site is the most professional. It is clearly laid out. The viewer can easily navigate through her texts. The menus system is clean and easy to use and is tied together with the "Top of page" link at the bottom of each other of her texts.
