Homework 1: Web Design Critique

Due

September 8th, submitted in class on one sheet of paper

Description

Write a one-page critique (one side only with 10-point font) of a local transportation information website from the links below. These are large sites, so explore for a while to gain an overview. Use the Eight Golden Rules (in Chapter 2) as the structure for your comments, but go beyond them if you like. Be sure to describe positive aspects, and also make suggestions for revisions. Please work carefully to produce a thoughtful well-organized, well-written page that makes constructive suggestions.
