web critique #6- areachicago.org

http://www.areachicago.org/
i agree with everyone else that the design of the site is pretty boring and uninspiring. especially since it is a site for artists, art educators, etc. at first the site was a difficult to navigate. if it wasn't an assignment i think my interest in the site may have dwindled due to the design and layout. i was interested in the "5 questions about art in chicago" link. i liked the the questions asked about socially engaging art in chicago and the variety of artists/professionals that responded. i always like to hear what my current contemporaries have to say about important issues. i liked that a list of topics was available to follow when searching this site. the "notes for a people's atlas" was a cool feature. viewers can make their own maps. this feature could be advertised better with eye-catching design and color as well as all the other links. there is some very useful and fun information on this site that could really be emphasized by a better designed site. i will defiantly return and recommend it for other peers.
