​​​đŸŒ·​ Critique – Fan Page

​​Welcome to our critique!

​​You’ll notice that each person has been assigned a first responder (1R), second responder (2R), and notetaker (N). The first and second responders (1R and 2R) will kick off our discussion as soon as the presenter has finished sharing their work – they’ll serve as our revolving panel of critics. The notetaker will listen carefully and document the highlights of the critique on our document.

​​Notes

​​Ruth

​​https://ruthchu.github.io/projects/fanpage/index.html
  • ​​Based on dreams she’d noted down, about recalling dreams/bringing dreams into focus
  • ​​Intention: separate audio, text, image sections etc., and upon hover of an element its related text/audio components show up (unblur)
​​Critique:
  • ​​Audio was used well; could play automatically
  • ​​Elements blurring is effective
  • ​​Strong layout
  • ​​More of the horizontal space could be used
  • ​​Illustrations might be more effective than stock photos due to the dream “vibe”
