COLOURlovers - Website Review
http://www.colourlovers.com/
Colour Lovers is a site which contains colour, colour palette and pattern galleries for users to view for inspiration.
Looking at the GUI of the site, I liked its simple neutral colour scheme which does not distract from the actual color swatch galleries. I also liked its soft gradients and subtle highlights which separate elements in the page.
The front page is mostly filled with examples from their colour galleries which immediately generates interest and can get you right into the category you are looking for.

Plantronics - Website Review

Plantronics sells headphones and other audio devices. I looked at the Find My Headset section of the site. It takes you through the options of how you want to use your headset in order to find you a product to buy. This is similar to my layout with the progressing navigation down the left side.

Maths Example Game/Website Review
http://www.bbc.co.uk/skillswise/numbers/handlingdata/probability/flash1.shtml
This game asks probability questions and requires the user to input the answer by dragging and dropping numbers into the parts of the fraction.
The layout was initially confusing because the question instruction was somewhere in the centre of the screen. Apart from this it is more standard with the answer box along the bottom and submit button in the right corner.

Educational Software
For the major project I decided to teach some basic maths probability with a flash application.
I decided to include a drag and drop marble exercise and a spinner example as well as an animated slideshow to teach the content.

Simpsonize Me - Website Review
A fun colourful website which attempts to appeal to a wide audience. Its design uses a lot of bright colours and has a lot of flashy buttons and lights on the 'simpsonizing machine'. This works well to gain attention but it makes working out what is clickable more difficult.
Working through the site is mostly linear and straight forward I found it slightly confusing to work out how far along I was (with the right side bar).
