Negative Space Gallery

On Friday, October 10, it was the opening of day the Negative Space Gallery. It featured work of my classmates and other graphic deign students. I must say that I was so proud to see the work of my classmates in the gallery. There was exceptional work featured that were assigned by the professors. Everything was so creative and unique. I would have loved to have my work there as well. Maybe next time I'll turn something in. :D
The food was great as well. That was a very tasty humus so Id like the thank Silva for that. And also the entire event along with the Saga members who helped out. Oh and Professor Magdy for the lamp! :D
I had a great time going there with my friends, Leah and Kevin. It felt like a real museum experience!

Websites!

Good.

http://www.tijuanaflats.com/index.php

This is a site for a food venue in mostly Florida.
I really love the colors they have used to create this website, which I'm asuming are the brand colors. I enjoy being on this site become its interactive and keeps me entertained even though its not local. It has music and videos. Everything is easy to locate and quick to find!!

http://christinaaguilera.com/

Christina Aguilera's official site is pretty awesome to me. It is mostly flash and it is very entertaining. Its pretty much showing that its her dressing room and most of the item there are interactive and they connect to another room to show information. For example, the calendar shows her tour appearances, the mirror gives her bio. I'm sort of working with other artists now to create the website for my boyfriend's band, Full Force Rising, and the concept were going with is similar to this.

http://ursession.com/

This is a very good site and I think its designed perfectly for musicians and bands to promote their stuff. Its sort of like myspace except its only for music. You have your songs up and other artists and also non-artists are able to log in and vote for the band, if they like the music. After getting so many votes, the artists will be recognized by record companies and receive a gold, platinum, multi platinum or diamond record deal. Its very simple to use and helpful!

Bad.

http://www.kingculturalproduction.com/

This site comes pretty handy for me sometimes. Most of my shows (such as the Armenian Golden Star Awards - which I will be performing at.) are advertised and promoted through this site. I think it is very difficult to go through it and find what you are looking for at ease. The colors are not the best and the information is scattered. Some links are "unclickable" and it gets pretty confusing.

http://www.continentalart.com/

I really wish this site would be more detailed and a bit more updated. Every time I go on there I never get what I want, such as products. It has the basic information of time and dates that its open and the address, but they should make it easier for people. If they are not going show any of their merchandise, they should get rid of the product link, so people wont be disappointed.
