Peer Review

Review from Whitnie Schwarz - Great job on your layouts! Its been fun reviewing other student's wireframes and seeing the different ideas we all have. I really like the simplicity your wireframes have. The content will be easy for the site visitor to view. One thing I might change, and its totally my own personal preference, if your placement of the name of the city. I don't know for some reason, I think it might get skipped over being at the very top in the right corner? Just a thought, Over all very good!

Review from Angela McIllece - Way to go, Denise! They look great! I read Whitnie's review, and depending on the size of the font, I agree, the name might get lost (and I'm going to revisit my design regarding that as well). I love how you've got your elements sliding to accommodate the screen shift to horizontal and vertical. That's exactly what we're supposed to learn and understand with this project I think. Bravo! -

Review from Josie Allen - It's interesting to see all the different design approaches to the same assignment. I really like your layout.
