Good and Bad Graphics

Societal Group Picks

Sites With Good Graphics

Thinking Fountain: Science Museum of Minnesota - This one takes a long time to load (153k), especially on a 14.4 modem, but should be an attraction to students.

A Teacher's Guide to the Holocaust - Wonderful site! Well put together!

Classroom Connect on the Net - Cynthia likes the layout and the graphics. Easy to get around and informative.

Taligent.com - Vote by Chris who "loves the color choices, especially in the button bar (menu)... (which) is a frame down the left side. You wouldn't even know it is a frame, but, when you click on a link, you can see that the button bar (menu) stays right there.I also like the way the text is right-justified and spaced. It was very easy for me to find what I was looking for. Neat how the date goes down the right margin. It is a simple, uncluttered page that is restful."

Sites With Bad Graphics

Ron's Mississippi - The "garrish" background makes you "dizzy" when you scroll.

Doug's Boat Page - Page just doesn't work. Good ideas but not put together well.

J-POP - Busy background. Color combination makes the fonts difficult to read.

Busycom Computer Consulting - BUSY!!! Animation abuser. No method to the madness. Animation for animation sake.

From Ann Steer:

I think this is sort of neat site but it leads to a really bad example when you click on the paw - on my browser the text runs across the cute left and right borders and looks really bad.

Colors are really bad in this one, although I like the concept of the site

Ugly because everything is centered - including the long lines of text and an ugly/busy background

Doesn't fit

The way the graphica are loaded in this one is really neat - a friend told me that this is all the rage now - split graphics - but it's a very efficient way of loading and animating - I'm just not sure how they get the different images to keep loading so that the highlight is animated.
