2) Write 50-100 words on what you like or don’t like about the particular site. You should mention specific points about what you like or don’t and more importantly WHY.

I was really impressed by the narrative setup for the promotion of the smart veichles. Not only did I get to learn more about it, I was engaged to learn more as I went along with the prompts. I felt it was pretty clever of including sub-titles in case if anyone couldn’t really understand the narrator’s british accent. I admire how a lot of the features of the veichle were simplified and explained briefly. I feel it was very well laid out and organized. The concept of showcasing the car in a garage worked out pretty well and neat. Cars are originally presented in showrooms, the track, or on the road. This is a good way of introducing a veichle that is completely new and introducing information about it with out it being overwhelming.

This website had tons of videos, info, and a narrative that unfolds to the user enters. I feel that this website would be directed more towards a motivated user. As oppose if someone didn’t have too much time on their hands and wanted to skim through the website really quick; known as the unmotivated user. This website has a lot of interactivity involved. The way the website is setup is similar to a game. The more you discover information and search through videos you receives stars and treasures. Once accomplished you receive an award of wallpapers and videos of the video game. This website is really not too user friendly for younger kids. I feel there is a lot they have to understand and find out through a website.

I feel that this website was really designed appropriately for their target market. They really had a good understanding of advertising the Corona Beer in a beach environment. Most people go to the beach to relax and enjoy and have a good time. Through out the website they used a lot of scenes that expressed being relax and just being chilled out on the beach. The interactive parts in this website were awesome. Just being able to do the same thing you do a beach was a really good idea. For example being able to draw on the sand: you were able to sketch and write anything you wanted and if you wanted to restart the waves would wash it away, being able to insert a lemon in to the beer, tossing the phone away so you wouldn’t be bothered was really interesting and cool.
