http://www.jkrowling.com/ 1.Briefly describe the site. What content is presented? What is the goal(s) of the site? The official website for JK Rowling, the author of the Harry Potter series. The content presented is her biography, righting the rumours, News, mini game, search find different objects on a desk. The goal of the website is to present JK Rowling and information about her, in a fantasy fun sort of way. 2. Describe the visual design – use of colour, typography, compostion. How is this effective? Looks similar to the I Spy books, searching for objects and interacting with different objects on the desk. Its a jumble of things, but it makes it fun. The type is all very reminiscent of Harry Potter newspaper feel. 3.How is the content structured? Is there a hierarchy of information and how is this achieved? The content is all framed within a desk, and the objects on the desk. There is no real heirarchy but I think thats the point, to find your way through the information. 4.Analyse and describe the interactions. Are these innovative or conventional? Does it add value? The interactions are fun and playful and reveal different tidbits of information. I could do without the odd sound effects. 5.Are there any surprises or unexpected elements? the searching through and finding various information was random and fun and the fact that she wrote the content makes me happy :)
