Project 1
For project 1 I have decided to compare three video streaming sites, Hulu (hulu.com), Netflix (netflix.com), and Youtube (youtube.com). All three websites seem to have featured videos or at least popular videos as a welcome screen when first visiting the site. One of the main differences between the sites is if payment is required to watch the videos, as well as if ads are included in the viewing process.

I think, total, we have to have 5 sites, so maybe look into unconventional means of getting videos? or maybe add in things like youtube? I have no idea. It's a good topic, though because it brings in an interesting, specific audience. What kind of format do you think YOUR site is going to have to compare these sites? Will it have screenshots of the site? Just some thoughts.
ReplyDeleteYou might want to go back and reread Chapters 2 and 3 in that they'll give you a good model of how to do an analysis like this. You'll be focusing a little more on how the info is presented, and a little less on what type of info is presented. Also, things like payment won't be all that useful, but things like "where and how payment information is included in the design" will be. Please see me if you have any questions, and do reread the assignment sheet: http://arola.kuurola.com/355/fall11/assign.html
