3 sites I don't like...

1.) The Lily + Jae site irritates me a bit. I like the home page and photograph, but the collections link has a drop down menu that is shifted way too far right and looks as if it is for the retail or press link. Also, I find it a little unexciting and lackluster. The setup up for the actual collections page could be better. There is a main center photo and the photos on either side are cut in half. There is no way to scroll left and right or enlarge the photo. In order to see the next photo you must click on the number at the bottom of the page. It just does not flow well.

2.) I love the design, font and background on the Misprinted type site, but the navigation placement and the portfolio layout make it really complicated. I think this could be much better with a few adjustments. The navigation gets lost in the design/logo. If it were moved down and enlarged, it would become more noticeable. The portfolio view is really clunky because each title you click on opens up a new window. There is no previous and next to view the next media. The viewer must close each window and open up the next image.

3.) The Fritz photography website is all flash and appears cheap, it reminds me of a bad tattoo. It takes way too long for each image to load, the navigation is clunky and the aesthetics greatly detract from the beautiful photographs. I love the images, but find it hard to focus on them.
