Asg 6: Gallery Research
One thing I liked about the San Diego Museum of Art's site was the drop down displays that show when you hover over each linked page- you get an overview of what you will find in each section without having to look through all of it first. I also like the scroll featuring images from current exhibitions.
I really enjoy the clean design of The Type Museum's website. The simple, clean color palette, type, and layout is something that always appeals to me in design.
The Vitra Design Museum was my favorite site... it had a clean design but also a bright color palette. I liked that the first page you come to had a simple graphic and link to enter the actual site- just like the cover of a book or magazine. The layout of the linked pages was also different than most traditional sites.
I included the MIT Museum's site because I did not like it. The left sidebar was just barely cut off- making it look unintentional. The type where the linked pages were was also too close to its margin, which I didn't like either. I do like the slightly gradient blue to green background color, but the odd layout of the page is distracting.
The Cameron Art Museum has a really nice, clean site. The muted color palette lets what is important, the work that's featured in the header, shine. I also like that they organized the art into past, present, and future- helping you more easily find what you are looking for.
The color palette of UMMA's site is nice- it still has color while being muted and professional. I like the block layout of the home page, everything fits nicely without seeming to tight or overcrowded.

Asg 3: Good HTML Design
This design really gets the main message across with very little image- feedback. You know what it is about the second you open it.
This design is clean and minimalist, which I always tend to gravitate towards. The black background, though a little close in tone to the wine bottle, gives a sophisticated feel which is very appropriate for the subject matter.
This design is simple while still nicely incorporating some image and a bit of color. I like that the header box is highlighted, having image and an overview of what is being promoted- while the details follow.
This design is simple but still has color to catch your attention, as well as animation.
This design gives off the feel of the festival being promoted without being too image heavy, and still feeling organized. An overview is provided as well as immediate access to ticket prices without having to further search their website.
