Effective Website

What makes an effective website to me is a website that has the information I am looking for on the front page. When I go to a website most of the time I'm looking for something specific. I really good example of an effective website is the ESPN website. It gives current information and gives you the opportunity to go to any sport or any team you would be looking for. They make it easy to find what sport or team you are looking for. It clearly gives you the information you need which makes it an effective website. You can go there to find out the latest and breaking new information in dealing with sports. That's why I see the ESPN website as a very effective website.

After reading this article I came to realize how important texts is in advertisements. While in some ads you don't need alot of texts because you can just give the important information that is needed. However, sometimes you need to gain the audiences attention and therefore, need to have texts that will grab their attention. Before reading this article, I thought that the image that you have in your ad was always the most important part of the ad but now I realize how important text can be.

Peer Review

Last week we did some peer reviews petaining to our advertisements which really seemed to help. It was nice to go around and see other people's advertisements and what their thinking behind their ads were. I felt that it really helped me get a sense as to what I wanted to do and how I wanted to go about my advertisement. I also felt that having the photoshop people come in and explain to us how to use the software really helped. I'm very confident that without their help this would have been a very tough assignment. But, with them, it wasn't bad at all.
