Okay, its time to review two pages from past WPD students!
1) Sam Brannon (Composer)
As I first entered the site, I was greeted by a very minimalist looking style. The composer's name, two bars of piano music and 6 links appeared. This type of design shows just the right amount of information. Too much information cluttered in one page can it frustrating for the viewer. Brannon's page avoids this issue. His page includes pictures, a list of concerts, a list of his works, contact info and bio. The content is clear, easy to find and the site is easy to navigate. Its a great site.
2) Robert Walliczek
The second site I chose has a very interesting choice of colours. Its an easy site to navigate as well. A search option was included but it wasn't finished. I like the menu on the left and the site is W3C compliant as well. Wonderful !

Zen Garden page review
For the assignment in the WPD class I picked these two Zen Garden Styles.
1) Leggo My Ego by Jon Tan
This one is quite amusing as it includes a landscape made with lego blocks. The way the title is aligned is also interesting. Notice the house with the satellite dish and the bridge that goes over the river. If you scroll at the bottom of the page, you can see a tree and a part of some building or wall. One thing that could be improved is the choice of colours. They seem a little washed out and a bit bland but overall Leggo My Ego is an interesting design.
2) A simple sunrise by Rob Soule
The second one looks nice in a preview but has slight rendering problems at least in Safari 5. The Menu design covers some of the text. The overall design is nice (Who doesn't like a sunset ?!) but that does not make it up for the text problem. Zooming or out did not fix the problem. The problem is displayed in the following screenshot.
