Critique Portfolios
Instructions:
- Use a single sheet of paper for each critique of a student project in your group of 3-4.
- Silently address the questions below for each student on the sheet of paper. These are notes, not essays!
- Groups gather around a computer and discuss/critique each project consecutively based on the notes/responses to questions.
- Then give your written critique notes to each of the students you evaluated
- Take these critiques of your work as guidelines for a redesign – you do not have to follow all suggestions.
Questions:
- What 2-3 words (or phrases) describe the overall impression of the site design?
- How does “difference” in certain design elements (layout, typography, color) focus attention? Is this difference effective? Is there difference that is confusing or distracting? Are boxes out of alignment?
- How effective is the typography? Does it help or hinder your comprehension of the content? Is there enough contrast?
- Does the site navigation help or hinder your experience of the content? Are the links, the navigation bar, buttons, galleries and/or pop-up images clear and working properly?
- Is the color scheme effective or distracting? What suggestions do you have to improve the site’s color?
- Does the site present the content well? Is it accessible and effective in presenting the student’s digital work
- Other Comments/Suggestions? Anything not working properly? Are images too big or out of proportion? Any spelling or grammar mistakes?
