Review: CollegeFashion.net- Design

The site is a little awkward because it is a blog that looks more like a website.

There is a menu with 8 options atop a features horizontal scroll plugin (is that what that is called?), and then finally the blog posts.


The blog gets a little lost because the posts are so long. I would think they would shorten them and have a "read the rest of this post" link to the full article on a different page. This way, CF visitors would be able to scan more conveniently down the page to see what the recent posts are.

What I do like about this page are the custom widgets on the right sidebar. I will have to do these for my own NextInFashion site ASAP. A simple version of a custom "widget" is to use Adobe Photoshop to create these images and link them to the things you want linked.




I like how the site has three main colors, pink, light blue, and white. I also like the offwhite background color as it is easier to read on this color as opposed to a bright white.

  1. This one seems very rushed. It certainly doesn't systematically address the design elements. Also, again, your post is most compelling where it offers visual support to your assertions.
