Julia Drimmer: http://webpages.scu.edu/ftp/jdrimmer/sexualharasshomepage.html

Julia Drimmer's research hypertext page is extremely grabbing. It discusses the idea of sexual harrassment of teenage girls in the workplace. It follows the KISS rule - Keep It Simple Stupid. The red black and white color scheme keeps it relaly interesting, while the navigation is quite easy to use.

Katie Bobbin: http://webpages.scu.edu/ftp/kbobbin/retailworkers.html

In Katie Bobbin's Research Hypertext, The aspect of Katie's page that I like the most is her navigation set-up.It is easy to use and conveniently located on the left side of the screen so that you are constantly exposed to links. Her topic is interesting, and she has a great use of color and images to pull the viewer in.

Jackie Lynch: http://webpages.scu.edu/ftp/jmlynch/drugviolence%20homepage.htm

In Jackie Lynch’s hypertext about drugs and violence, the pictures are startlingly powerful. She presents them in such a way that the viewer is entranced by the images. However, there is no lack of communication, it is immediately understood what the topic is about by just looking at the pictures on the first page. Smoking, gang violence, and drugs are displayed everywhere, which has an immense impact on the viewer.

Mariam Mostamandy: http://webpages.scu.edu/ftp/mmostamandy/index.htm

In Marian Mostamandy’s page, the design was what struck me. It is easy to navigate with a side navigation bar. The color scheme works quite nicely with a light green and purple contrast between background of the page and the background of the table. The pictures obviously represent what she is trying to display, which is the idea of equality and racism.
