Week 1
We were briefed on our first task where we had to find 3 good and 3 bad websites from a websites https://www.webbyawards.com and https://www.awwwards.com/sites/transmissions#comments then evaluate them from different perspectives.

Week 2
Mr. Shamshul gave a demonstration on how to do some basic coding in TextEdit eg. paragraph spacing, heading, sub-heading, links, text style, ordered & nested lists etc. He then gave us a content as reference for our Exercise 1 task.

Week 3
We were given a demonstration on how to insert images and insert jump links into Exercise 1(from Week 2) in Adobe Dreamweaver. Mr. Shamshul gave us another content where we had to apply the new knowledge we've obtained into the new task which is Exercise 2. This also will be done on Adobe Dreamweaver.

Good Websites

1. MOHIEM by Taro Yoshimura & Ryo Fujita from Japan https://moheim.com

Pros - The website's design is minimalistic which correlates with the design of their products showcased and most importantly the vision of the designers. To add to its simplicity, the website does not contain words which fill up the place but instead has a pleasant amount of negative space making it suitable to the eyes.

Cons - None

Target Audience - Teens and older

Goal - To demonstrate their products sustainability
Purpose - To promote their interior accessories, furniture and kitchenware
2. La Nouvelle from France https://lanouvelle.agency

ProsThe website is interactive in the sense that its sort of a "hunt" to find information. When you enter the page, you have to scroll to unravel animated information, making me want to explore the page even more.

ConsWhats unfortunate was the language barrier. The information being communicated(atleast the crucial ones) were all in french.
Target AudienceFrench speakers.

GoalTo demonstrate their creative approach of words and an expertise in visual design.

PurposeTo attract brands who are interested in their formats, designs etc.

3. Portfolio by Jack Jaeschke from Australia https://www.jackjaeschke.com
ProsThe web design itself is not only captivating to look at, but also has humour and sufficient information which tells me alot about the designer and the work that they've done.

Cons - None

Target Audience - Designers 

GoalTo make their skills evident through an online platform. This allows possible future employers to easily see a designers skillset through their portfolio.

PurposeTo provide information on their different social media platforms

Bad Websites 

1. "demophorius" by Kommigraphics from Greece https://demophorius.com

ProsThe Pros are, it provides readily available medical related supplies eg. surgical gloves, needles & accessories, extraction machines and many more. This validates that it is a reputable source and gives an ease in mind that it is a "click" away.
ConsThough there are pros, its cons outweights it. Off the bat, the website is disorienting, especially to newcomers(not user friendly). There were atleast 5 or more differing fonts which was unappealing.

Target AudienceHospitals and Medical Units

Goal - To generate revenue 

PurposeTo showcase their products & its quality.
2. Om Swami by Niccolo Miranda from The Netherlands https://omswami.com

ProsI feel that the static animations are nice

Cons - Static animations are not very interesting. I find that the informations are hard to navigate and i did not find the way the art style was done to be pleasant.

Target Audience - Spiritualists

GoalTo speak on his experiences with the aid of visuals(web design)

PurposeTo tell his life changing story which might have a spiritual impact on others

3. Transmissions by Zorraquino from Spain https://transmissions.cristobalbalenciagamuseoa.com

ProsThe text animations were nice and design is simplistic.

ConsAs I am scrolling through the portfolio images, it is hard to control and goes so fast that it starts to strain the eyes. The arrangement of text could be better as when I was taking in the images, large words filled the image, making it hard for me to appreciate the work itself. Language was also an issue as it was mostly in Spanish.

Target AudienceFashion Designers/ Students/ Spanish Speakers

GoalTo touch on the details/ history behind each fashion piece.

PurposeTo demonstrate the legacy of the late Cristobal Balenciaga
