Alright, let’s start with UMW‘s site.
Their project centers around the fashions of the 80s and how they reflected the increasingly fluid gender identity spectrum and the introduction (resurgence from the 20s kind of?) of androgynous fashions (which I’m super excited to read more about!).
I love the background picture you’ve got going, very flashy and colorful (just like the 80s).
I still have more this-is-what-we’re-doing-verbatim to add to our own site, and I really like how you managed to outline (not quite the right word?) your project on your home page without making the whole thing sound bland.
God rest the strange immortal soul of our beloved David Bowie.
Your site is super easy to navigate but I do think your page names could use a little spicing up – probably just personal preference but, while National and Local mean about everything they need to, I want something that pulls me into the article like a panicked Spongebob on a fishhook. I’d also say that titling your home page something other than “Home Page” could really give you some color.
And the credits page is a great idea, just to consolidate all your resources! Obviously make sure you cite them wherever you use your information, just to be thorough, but I like that a lot.
Okay, next.
*drum roll*
*Reaches into hat, draws name*
Ummmm JSC, COME ON DOOOOOWN!
First impressions: I like the layout you’ve chosen, it’s very sleek and professional.
But, beyond that, it doesn’t look like you’ve done much (which I totally understand my babes). I’m not sure if the uploads and how they’re laid out right now are functioning pages or posts, but it’s not the most intuitive layout. The pictures you have for the 70s are absolutely hilarious. Long live bell-bottoms!
I have the memory of a goldfish on all of the drugs, so I don’t quite remember what you’re project was going to be about, but if it’s about the 70s I am seven thousand different kinds of down.
You can do it, JSC! I believe in you!!
And so does this goat.
Do your be-e-e-e-est.

Kyra,
I love how you write! It’s so fun to read. Oh, and I love the image!

The goat is great! Good critique of other sites. Have you gotten a chance to check out COPLACDigital sites that have come before?

Wow! This has all sorts of incredible potential… and then SILENCE.
Wha’ happened?
