Assignment 3

Assignment 3 was to create an internet site that is as bad as possible. I have tried to make my site as unstructured as possible, so the viewer has difficulties to find anything on the site. Furthermore have I used a font that is very difficult to read as the colour of the font and the background are nearly the same. I have used a random picture and a random video in order to confuse the viewer. In addition have I used gadgets that do not fit to the internet site and their size is also making it harder to have a good overview over the page. Besides from that have I used a table with information that does not make any sense and there are no description on the site, so the viewer never knows what is going on.

The link to my page is
https://sites.google.com/site/mybadsite8/home

Assignment 2

The second Assignment in our course We create identity is that we have to talk about our plans for our websites and that we should gather our work for our portfolio. I have started to improve my blog/ website with additional pages however I am planning to use a different website, where one has more opportunities in changing the style of the website. Therefore I will create a website on a different platform in order to have more freedom. I will use this side as my blog and I will link it to my web site. On that web site I will upload more information about me and my life, in form of pictures, text and maybe short videos.

Assignment 1

www.footytube.com is a web site where you can watch the highlights of the games of your favourite football teams from almost all over the world. You can also see football news in general from many leagues. The site is a search engine and does not host the videos itself, however it seems like one streams the video on footytube itself.

There are pros and cons about this site.

Pros:

 1. the site enables you to watch the highlights of your football team games whenever and where ever you want.(its being uploaded a day after the actual game in most cases) you can also watch interviews.

2. the site has categories such as "most exciting match" , "most popular" and " Goals of the week". This prevents you from missing any great games or amazing goals.

3.the web site has all the trending Guardian headlines that are about football on their web site, so one is always up to date on football news through a highly respected newspaper.

4. you do not have to sign up to be able to watch the games, only when you want to leave comments and etc. you have to sign up, but this is free of charge.

5. one is able to rate and comment on all the games, but there is also a very nice pie chart that can not be seen on so many other sites. There people can rate the teams performance from awesome to rubbish for every game, which is very nice as it gives you a good idea how the other people have thought about the game and the team.

Cons:

1. some of the games that you can watch through footytube do not have a very good quality, which is not very satisfying.

2. on other games the game commentator is from a different country and does not speak english but spanish or another language. that sometimes happens in the top games and clearly reduces the fun of watching the games.

3. it is good that there are so many categories in order to find a game but if you click on the button of "teams" and you look for your team that you want to watch, it is sometimes very difficult to find videos of their last games as the tables are sometimes not very well structured.

4. many of the games in for example the "bundesliga" of the clubs that are not the most popular ones are not being uploaded or very late. the second bundesliga is not included at all.

5. the setting for changing the language is not working. You can change the language but everything stays the same.

(6.) some of the game videos are just too short.
