Assignment 1
Flying Chair
I was browsing around trying to look for anything that caught my attention and none of them succeeded until I came across this site. The first thing that caught my attention was the image of Hong Kong that's located on top of the page. I found that image very beautiful but not overpowering and that's what drew me into reading the articles in this blog. The contents in this site are whatever the creator has interest in, which are topics mostly related to Asians.
About the topics in this blog I didn't really felt that I learned any information from this creators posting because it was mostly about news around the world that he found interesting which I do not. But what I found interesting is that he has traveled to a lot of places around the world, mostly Asian places and he has a nice gallery with very nice pictures of those locations which I found very interesting.
I found the web work on this site to be very simple but it gets the creators point across. The main articles takes up most of the page when opened which is understand because for people who goes onto this blog to share information, that's the most important to them. The links to photos, contacts, and his favorite sites are located on the left. As you scroll down the color scheme is a white background with blue information bars, which matches the color of the image on top nicely. Under each topic it list how many comments were made and what kind of article it is, for example if it was a topic that had humor. I felt that this site is very organized and the navigation is excellent. Everything on this site felt right for its purpose and I don't feel that there's anything wrong with this site. What I learned from this site is that the first page that is opened and the organization of the site is very important, because if it wasn't for the images and the organization I would have probably skipped this site and looked for another one. I felt that I interacted to this site a lot because I am also Asian and I felt that the information that is being shared is someone relating to me.
The audiences for this site are mainly Asians teenagers that are into Asian celebrities and those countries. I felt that this site does have a limited audience because not everybody who sees this site would be interesting in reading the articles that are discussed, its articles that some audience can not relate.
I felt that the graphics and the text in this site engage the viewers very nicely because it's quite pleasant to the eyes. The color scheme is good and it feels like something that I can read for a long time with no straining. The layout is basic but it gets its point across and the graphics are just beautiful. I love the image on top that holds the site together because it has so much meaning and relates to the overall topic on this site. The only problem that I felt on this site was that there were too many links to other sites on the left site of the page. I think it would have been better if the links were on its on frame so that you can scroll down without having to go back up to look at the articles which are on the right of the page.
