final exam question 31

www.worldofwarcraft.com / www.wowarmory.com

The theme is perfect as it complements the information with a sense of the what the game is about. The layout used is a regular centered web page with the background image that matches the the screen size on any computer. Navigation is very easy to find and use.

The whole website is very easy to use and navigate for visitors and players of the game. also gives very good information about the game and the different toons within the game. The reason it is visually good site is that it makes you feel you are stepping into the game before you are in the game.

The main page colors where black but that was keeping you focal point towards the different information they had to offer. the main look of the home page was a blocked layout while all the game pages had a different layout depending on the game. Navigation is easy to find and use within the whole web site.

Most of the pictures and animated slides where links to the corresponding site. Over all the information itself grabs your attention and brings you deeper into the site giving you a closer look to what they have to offer.

www.gamewinners.com

Gamewinners is mainly a site for information on games so the colors are a little bland. navigation is easy to find and use. Layout is nice and neat with little ads to loose your focus on the information you are looking for.

The mass amount of information is what gives it a visually good appearance. this type of site is good but could use a little more color and a few pics on what each page is talking about. Most people coming here come for help on different game so not many people will loose focus on what they are looking for here.

My site

To improve my site to look and feel I would have to say add a simple background image, or even a simple background color or design. Have more examples of what the topic is about. Have some different tutorials in and liked to the site using a color scheme to match the page it is on.

Having the pages link to other resource websites, and to community sites like Facebook or Twitter. Having more written tutorials then just having videos tutorials. having a place for people to link some resources they have and for comments off of that information given also would help.

Distractions good and bad

One of my problems I have while working is distractions. I personally don't mind something that helps you remove a distraction from being a problem, like listening to music to remove outside distractions or even get your mind off of other things. At the same time that can also become a distraction to you or even if others can hear that might be a distraction to them. In my opinion distractions can be a great help and a great hurt in different situations.

saving work and time

One of the worst things to happen to anyone working on a computer is when your work gets deleted. Ether working on a shared computer or a personal one it is best to save a backup copy of your work. The two main reasons for loss of time and money is accidental deletion and computer problems like a crash. But having a backup is only good if you keep that backup information save and where it cant get lost or destroyed. One of the best ways to keep a backup copy is to get a external hard drive. getting the external hard drive also gives you a place to keep extra files not needed to take space on your main hard drive. that will give you more performance on the computer.

Changing seasons

Just wanted to say to all who drive and leave stuff in there cars. It is becoming spring and summer so remember that anything left in the car has to be able to handle very high heat. While living in Florida I have found out there is not much that can handle the heat. I personally have no school or work items that can be protected in the car from the heat or from the direct sun rays.

Here is some item that heat can ruin.
1. Any music CD can be warped and melted by the heat to where they wont play.
2. All types of closed containers like aerosol cans or even soda cans can become a explosive device by the heat expanding all the contents within the container.
3. Any pictures can become faded, yellowed or even melted from the heat and by the sun's rays.
4. All paper work that is written or printed can become faded or completely wiped from the page by the sun's rays.

If I have not said a type of item in your car does not mean it is save from the heat or sun. I would recommend to not leave anything in the car for that and other reasons.
