For my second chosen site I chose the new site for the incredible hulk. Reasons for this is because I feel that there were more interactive elements to the site then the previous Mario Kart site that I analysed.
What does it look like?
The site has kept to the theme of the movie which is quite dark and sinful, like an angry atmosphere (like the hulk)The designers have used strong imagery and flash movies to help the users get a strong feel of the movie without the need to see it. I personally haven't seen it and just from the site I have got a strong impression on what the movie is about.
Whilst searching the site I got the impression that they were also trying to give out a scientific atmosphere, I got this impression from the imagery, but also the sounding used.
How easy is it to use?
I found the site fairly easy to navigate through however I did get confused at the beginning.
What I did not realise was that floating on the screen was an icon called 'Navigation' the user has to click on this icon to get the main menu, now what I got confused about was that the designers have also put four buttons on each corner of the screen, thats what I thought was the main menu but, they are actually links to other sites. So if I would suggest to change something then I guess it would be to make the buttons easier to navigate through. However once you get the hang of what button is where you fairly easier to get round.
How relevant is the content of the site?
As the site is aimed at one film its pretty obvious what the content of the site should be and it is what it is, a web site advertising the movie. What I like about the content is that the designers have used various different widgets and imagery to show the relevant content.
Examples of this would be flash games, downloads i.e. screen savers different cast profiles etc its all been given a relaxed layout the information is not too serious just right for the theme of the web site.
How clearly is the content organised?
In my opinion I feel that the content has not been organised very well. The links are everywhere, like I said above the links to other pages are everywhere. I feel that the designers were aiming this site to a younger target audience because f the 'scatty' the pages were set, this is a point that I think the younger audience would not really notice. Overall though the links take you to exactly where they state they would.
