Don't make me think - Steve Krug

For each one of these different principles below I've found a website to describe what is going on.

1. A site with excessive background noise or with excessive busy-ness.
LINKhttp://www.lingscars.com
This shows WAY to much of background noise and busy-ness with everything going on you have no idea what you are looking for. Then you also have a very annoying music in the background that is pretty much forcing you to click off of this website.

2. A site with a very low amount of competing noise.
LINKhttp://www.ewedding.com
This is a very good example of a website with not very much competing noise because there are no annoying animations or music in the background that would distract you from the main topic or why you went to the website in the first place

3. A site where it is not obvious what is clickable.
LINK: http://irishwrecksonline.net
This doesn't show any obvious signs that there would be any links on this webpage. There is also a lot other stuff wrong with this website but this probably shows the most.

4. A site where it is obvious what is clickable.
LINKhttp://www.unlocking.com
This website had a very good example of where you click if you go to this website because it doesn't make you think a lot whenever you first go to the website and its very easy to find out anything you would be looking for inside a link.

5. A site not split up into clearly defined areas.
LINKhttp://arngren.net
This is a VERY bad example of a website all together... but i believe that this would be a great example of not very defined areas because of how cramped everything all together was.

6. A site split up into clearly defined areas.
LINKhttp://www.cloudpassage.com
This shows a very good example of defined areas because everything is very spaces apart to the point to where it doesn't look bad but its just right to find your way around and know what your looking for.

7. A site that makes good use of conventions.
LINKhttp://www.amazon.com
This shows a lot of good different convention like the logo, important items, and obvious places to go.

8. A site that make good use of visual hierarchies.
LINKhttp://www.freshbooks.com
This shows a good example of visual hierarchies because it has all of the same color scheme, good contrast, shows whats most important, and the important things are very obvious.

This is another fancy logo that i've done on photoshop that is really simple and easy to make. This is good for anything and really easy to change the text. This was made with a new downloaded font that i've never seen or messed with before with a easy circle in the background to have more of the "logo" effect towards the text.

DON"T MAKE ME THINK...

This has three different website examples that you might run into and that might make you think for a number of different reasons...
This is KU's official website first question mark that i found on this would be where would you sign up for the school at or if you wanted to talk to someone about it. Then another question mark would be why do they have so much stuff surrounding everything and its hard to find anything that you would be looking for.

This is K-State's official website and this is pretty much the same way that KU's website is but its really plain and boring and theres not much to attract anyone to the website. That and it doesn't have enough information, what if someone was looking for the college plans and how long the college is or some of the college classes, it doesn't show much on where you could find these things.

This website is a school for working on cars and mechanics on a car. This website has very little attraction to this sight and all the links aren't very noticeable so one of the question marks would be where are you finding out what you want? or if you need to know an address it doesn't show you where the school would be at.

One photoshop project that i have done so far is a logo, this is just a cool logo for my initials in my name. I used a lot of different circles and shapes to put this all together, then a new font that i've never seen before that matched up with the circle very nicely. This makes a great logo for anything and can change the color and text really easily for any company or project logo you would want to do.
Who is Engelbart and what did he invent?
Engelbart a engineer and inventor, was born on January 30, 1925. He invented the computer mouse and some hypertext (well this is the two main things that he is known for). He ended up drafting into the U.S. Navy and serving 2 years as a radar technician. The first mouse was made by a wooden shell with two medal wheels for it to move. He ended up selling the "mouse" (called this because of the shape and wire that came out of the back of it) to Apple for something like $40,000.

Hello My name is Codey Bailes, i am in Web Design as a E-Comm student for the Junior class at Olathe Northwest High School. Lately we have been learning tons of different new ways to make some cool websites. This is one way that i am making a website then the other way is through google sites. We have to Compare of how there relate and don't relate. Lets start off by saying that so far i am liking the Blogger websites better because it gives you more obvious choice that is easy to find. But Google Sites you have to hunt down everything you do or want to edit on your website. But for the most part you can still do some of the same stuff on either one like, templates, colors, and text. but on Blogger you can also edit the HTML coding. So with the HTML codes and how easy it is to get around on Blogger i would officially like blogger more than i like google sites.
