Blog assignment 2

The site I selected was the National Museum of the Marine Corps. The reason was because I was so impress with the museum when I visited it in person, I wanted to see what type of impression the site would give me compared to an actual visit. The question was would I have gone to the museum if I have gone to the sight first; the answer was, not likely.

I found the site to be flat, with little interactivity. The site did offered some pop-up images, but no sound. I feel they should have some audio narrative to accompany the images.

There was a YouTube video of the production of the Battle of Belleau Wood re-enactment which will part of an up coming exhibit. But again the narrator could not be worst.

The commercial site was the official site for the movie Zombieland, which is a movie opening this weekend. The site offered two area one from those under the age of 18, and the other for us who are older. Last week we talk about this kind of option for different sites. They add the need for the zip code as will as name and age; interesting. The games were lame, but they link you to their Face Book. I actually open a Face book account; this is my first time on a social network. The site uses all the social networks to contact everyone who visits the site.

The other commercial site was Hasbro. It is aim at a young audience so it has all the bells and whistle. The opening page is incredible; it is something that I would like to do for my world’s fair project.

I would incorporate the flash of the Hasbro site with the links to the social networking of the Zombieland site. There is a commercial shooter video game that is promoted by the U.S. Army. With this in mind I would add some first person shooters to the museum site.
