Blog #12- Website Redo

Edited Version
Original Site


The website that I chose to redo is Yale Art's site. It was created on Wikispaces, so many people are able to go onto the website and edit it. Unfortunately, people take advantage of this and change the website for the worse.  The first problem that I found was the background. At the time it was a checkerboard pattern of a random picture that was repeated.  I thought it looked very distracting and was not very flattering for the website. To change this problem, I made the background a solid blue color. The second problem that I found with the website is that there was no organization; the text boxes and pictures were randomly scattered across the page. To change this problem, I used alignment to organize the boxes in a more appealing way. The third problem that I found is that there was not color scheme. There were many random colors that did not look good together. To fix this problem, I change the website to have a mono-chromatic color scheme. I used the colors blue and white because these are Yale's school colors, and I thought it would be nice to incorporate these colors into the art school's website.
