These are things I have been doing today. My kitchen sink is shiny and clean. I'm on my third load of laundry and I got some homework done today as well. I have another critique to do but I'm going to wait and see who else posts the link to their site (doing so should mean it's ready for review, right?) because there were only two people other than myself that did and the one person I feel I can't give a good critique to.
I hate to say it, but in my opinion the site (and sorry, I won't provide a link since this is educational) is completely horrible. I don't know how else to describe it. Everything on every page is centered. The buttons, which were created using a generator from a website (I feel this is lazy) don't even match the colors that were chosen for the website.
I don't know why this person is using a button generator (perhaps the kids were bouncing off the walls and there wasn't enough sleep to take the time to create buttons) and I don't know why the text is centered or why the colors don't match. I do know however that this person doesn't care to take any suggestions either. It was suggested that one button be broken into two and the answer was a blatant no, this is the way that person wanted them and so what if it was almost twice as long as the other buttons?
This student is one of two or three that have used the button generator, two used the same site, and I can't believe that it's condoned. I could understand using a generator if you are short on time (in a professional setting), but we are supposed to be learning how to create websites and graphics on our own. There are reasons why Adobe Photoshop is the graphics program we are to use.
I don't know. Maybe it isn't condoned and they get docked points for it. I create my own buttons. I create what I can and use royalty free images otherwise. Enough ranting for the time being. Laters.
