CulturalPolitics.net Review
I found the Cultural Politics website to be very useful in the sheer amount of information that it provided. They said that it's rare to find a website that hosts all of the information needed on a given topic, but I would wager that this one comes strikingly close. It not only hosts information on a broad topic such as pop culture, but it goes a step further and hosts information on very specialized topics, Asian American film was something interesting that stood out to me. It would certainly be possible to sit down at that website and fumble through the links and come out being a pro on the subject matter - or at least well-versed enough to convince someone that you know what you're talking about. A few of my classmates commented on the bland design of the website, but I found it to be very simple and professional, and made it very easy to navigate. I appreciate that they held off on vibrant colors or taxing graphics, because after a while of going through the pages, it would certainly lose its luster.

I agree with you in that the simplicity of the website made it easy to navigate. I concur in your belief that the website is useful in the sheer volume of information it provides.
ReplyDeleteJacob:
ReplyDeleteI agree with you that this website has a wealth of information. Initially I was surprise that it didn't have many graphics but you are right, the graphics could prove to be distracting. The website has so much valuable information that it does not need flashy graphics which would detract fro the vital information provided.
Jacob,
ReplyDeleteYour statement in regards to the non-extravagance of the website stuck out to me. Usually in, especially in, Popular Culture the flashier the better; however in this particular case I agree with you. This website is easy to navigate and it isn't so 'harsh on the eyes' per say. The information on the website is the main focus and not the other 'fluff' on the side.
Jacob, I completely agree with your statement:

I found myself learning a lot about different Pop Culture topics, in my first time visiting the site.
