What makes a successful "home" page?

Designing for the Web

As we begin designing our home page for our website we need to understand what makes the home or index page successful?  The home page is the first page a viewer sees so it needs to function properly and be appealing. We will view several websites in class and discuss what elements are making it work or not.  You will then find two websites that you will critique.  One should be an example of a poorly designed site and the other a successful one.  Use the, "Elements of a Successful Website" document as you critique the websites.  View the "Website Critique" document for your complete assignment.

Our next challenge will be to paint a still-life that is predominately made up off white objects.  You will be focusing on value changes and how value creates the form of an object.  To find out more about the lesson view the "Painting an Almost White Still-Life" document.
