My second artefact was two websites comparing peoples views of a music download site. One of the sites featured completely still images, whilst the other had interactive imagery, such as a slideshow and different effects when images were hovered over.
I wanted to design it so it almost looked familiar when people first visited, so I took inspiration from the iTunes layout and am very happy with how it turned out. I got people to visit the two sites and then choose which one they would prefer to download from. I then asked for their reasoning behind their decisions.
I am happy with the design and I don’t think I would change much if I had the chance. I would add in more films and songs however in order to bulk out the website and make it look more filled. I felt having not much content on there made it less realistic, but with the time constraints I think I did well.
I managed to get a good amount of people visiting the site and filling out my questionnaires, which helped me gain a decent amount of statistical evidence to back up my claims.
Further on in my artefact process I would like to develop on the websites I made for this artefact and add in some HTML5 and CSS3 to see what, if any, effects this has on the results.
When designing the site I wanted to make it feel calm and as if there was lots of space for the user to operate in, I feel this is one of the ways iTunes has been so successful and I think I managed to make a site which isn’t too cluttered but allows the user to see enough functionality to give me a good idea of which adverts work best.
