Unit 3 Reading Response

Street signs is about navigating from words and signage. Like in store there’s a lot of signs that helps people lead to the products they are seeking and in websites people type one word and the site immediately leads them to whatever they are looking for. Bread crumbs is something getting close to the desired destination by following step by step. Its best the bread crumbs are located at the top where most navigations are located. The problem with both the signage and bread crumbs they often lead to frustration because the navigation can be misleading and force the users to ask for assistance in person. I’ve been through a lot of situations where I follow sign that I thought it would lead me to where I need to go but turns out it’s not the right one I’m looking for and I was forced to ask for help. Same for the website, when I click on word or type the word it always leads me to some navigation whether its right or wrong. The signage may work out for some people but for people who are more specific should really change the signage to the it can satisfy the users.

The type used in this site is mixed with Times new roman and sans serifs. The navigation was a little hard but it works almost like a puzzle game, pretty much just click on the right lever and it leads to the next step. The layout is almost something out of a cirque du soleil and the parallax seems to be in well order. The images presented is easy to see, large and clear to understand.

Type appears to be curves, and bolded because this website shows something natural and happy-like. The navigation is almost random because almost everywhere theres more navigations that leads to another and everything is all scroll down for each navigation. The layout seems to be in order but there's too much to see and the parallax is okay due to being set up in order of where the users need to navigate. The images may be clear but appears to be a little small.

Type used is mostly sans serif and times new roman. The navigation is all scroll down while the layout and parallax seem to be well organized. The images however appear to be small because even though the projects are web design they should be more bigger so the users can see clearly.
