UX Testing - Looking at Peer's Websites

Today we looked at each others websites and did a UX Testing questionnaire in order to help find problems with them. I was looking at the Maria Lotoszyńska's website.


Homepage:

1. Is the homepage pleasing to look at?
It is but I am confused about more than one logo? There is both full name and Maria/e, I would use only one because it looks busy.

2. Does the homepage clearly show both visually and with text what the website is about (i.e represent the students progression route?)?
Yes, the first thing we see is one of Maria's sketch and a subtitle 'Fashion Design'.

3. Is there a navigation menu on the homepage?
Yes, there is.

4. Is the navigation menu clear and easy to use?
Yes, it is clear, and easy to use, however I would delete the lines in between buttons, since they are often covering images and text on the website.

5.  Are there social media links on the homepage?
Yes, there is a Blogger link at the bottom of the page.

6. Do all the menu links and social links work correctly?
Somewhat, the link works only when I click on specific part of this rectangle button, maybe it is only my problem.

7. Do you have any comments or suggestions in regard to the homepage?
The copyright is still from last year and I would change the 'Look at my work :)' button to 'Portfolio' or something like that.


The About & Contact Page:

1. Is the About page pleasing to look at?
Yes, but the logo is sometimes covering text.

2. Does it contain an image or design?
Yes, it does.

3. Is the about me/biography well written?
Yes, but it is quite brief.

4. Does the about me/biography really tell you about the person and their work?
It does about the person, but I would add a little more about the work itself.

5. Do you have any suggestions on the about me page?
Besides making it a little longer, there is a weird long empty space under the bio on this page.

6. Is the contact page pleasing to look at?
Yes, but it is difficult to see menu with this background image.

7. Does it contain an image or design?
Yes, it does.

8. Does the contact page work - test this and find out
It does.

9. Do you have any suggestions about the contact page?
I would either change the background or the colour of the menu so it doesn't blend with each other. 


The Gallery pages:

1. Do all the gallery pages work?
Yes.

2. Is there an introduction to the work on each gallery page?
No, there is only an introduction to the major project

3. Does all the work have titles?
Yes.

4. Are the gallery pages consistent?
Yes.

5. Do the gallery pages work well and are they easy to use?
Yes.

6. Can you go back and forth through the gallery pages easily?
There is no button to go back to the main page of the gallery.

7. Is the work displayed to show it at its best?
I wouldn't include photography since it is not connected to the Maria's continuation route.

8. What suggestions do you have about the gallery pages?
In major project logo is covering the introduction.


The Whole Site:

1. Is the site consistent throughout?
Yes.

2. Did you find it easy to navigate and use?
Yes.

3. Was it a good experience going through the site?
Yes, mostly. Except for a few places where the text is covered by something else.

4. What would you change if you could?
Nothing really except for the minor problems I mentioned above.

5. Would you recommend this site to others? If not, why not?
Yes.

Major Project TERM III - Dream sequences in film Research

Image
In the last part of my research connected to this term's major project I will be looking closely into different dream sequences in cinema. I will analyse how different filmmakers are visualizing them in their own visual style. I will be looking at four films in which we can either see a dream sequence or the majority of the film is a dream. The four films being, ' Spellbound ' (1945) directed by Alfred Hitchcock, ' Inception ' (2010) made by Christopher Nolan, ' Anima ' (2019) created by Paul Thomas Anderson, and finally ' Wild Strawberries ' (1957) directed by Ingmar Bergman. Spellbound (1945) Directed by Alfred Hitchcock Spellbound (1945) dream sequence Probably the most recognizable dream sequence in film history, and for good reason. The scenography created for this sequence was done by Salvador Dalí, Spanish surrealist artist whose one of a kind visual style can be easily recognized in every frame of this scene.  While the style does not appeal...

Sequential Photography - research, study, and final artwork

Image
You could say that the origin of sequential photography, as important by itself, is also the origin of cinema. Not the Lumière brothers, but Eadweard Muybridge can be recognized as a pioneer of film. Edweard Muybridge was an English photographer. His fame started when in 1868 Eadweard photographed Yosemite Valley in California, but today he is famous for initiating a new photography trend which is our today's topic. Sequential Photography 1 Sequential imagery is a photographic technique of taking many following pictures in a short period of time. It can be used for a variety of reasons, ranging from showing movement of someone or something to telling a compelling story. An actual origin story of the pictures above is interesting in itself. Eadweard Muybridge wanted to prove his friend that horses during gallop are pulling or their legs at the same time. Because of this trivial bet we now can enjoy films and TV series. Sequential photography 2 First set of my sequential photos I too...

Major Project TERM III - Production and Post-production PART I

Image
As of now I completed three days of shooting, and shot around 30%-35% of the needed footage. It takes more time than I anticipated but I think I will finish everything on time. I cannot really shoot outside during the weekend since there is a lot of people on the streets at night during these days, so I have to go out during the weekdays. It slows the production a bit since now I have most of the interior shots done, so the only things I need to shoot are outside. I also understood quickly that making everything by myself is far more difficult and complicated than I anticipated. There are some shots which I imagined in my mind that are not looking as good when I shoot it. Nevertheless, focusing on the positive I have finished shooting and editing first page of the script. The entire editing process with the actual edited part of the film at the end. You can view it here. This part ranges from the beginning of the script to the first scene on the second page. Shooting around one to thre...
