Week#3 Good Design: https://www.francescas.com/ This website really drew me it. As you'll reed in the bad design I was searching for jewelry and came across this one. Its layed out well and easy to use. You are immediately greeted with 60% off bold text that is always pleasing to the eye. You can favorite things, save them for latter, sign up for deals and search with ease.                      Bad Design: https://www.charmingcharlie.com/ This website has been one of my favorite websites to shop on. Out of the blue with no warning it went down, or so I thought. Turns out that they are currently not allowing online orders. Clearly this shouldn't be an issue but its not clearly stated and it makes you feel as though you are just missing the product placement. You really have to pay attention to the detail of this site to see its no longer active. I personally would suggest keeping the products online and having the find in store button instead of b

Week #2 Good Design: Each and Every day at work I use my keyboard, to communicate promptly and effectively. I have replaced my old keyboard with this one due to the design. The keys are well laid out and do not stick. There is a curve in the keyboard that allows for a perfect incline for my hands. There is even a nice pop of color that makes the design more appealing.  Bad Design: I have this master planer that I got for $1. For the price its great but as far as design goes not so much. You see they favored pretty flowers and a large border over space for writing. I really do love the flowers and the color and that is what drew me to it. However, this is the main reason I find the design to be so poor. The layout is great, and the pad size is perfect, if they utilized it correctly. I have tried writing over the leaves but they are too dark to see the ink over. I can only write about two maybe three appointments if I'm lucky.
