A Cyber Report.
 A note about this page
Note om denne side. 


Now that you've been "surfing" a little, it's time for you to consider some more detailed aspects of "cyber-space", World Wide Web and its homepages. So, do the following:
  1. Find - or go back to - a page that struck you one way or the other. You can either choose a more or less commercial site such as the Gibson-site, or a more personal page such as one of the students at  School . Or you can choose something quite different.

  2. What is your immediate impression of the page? (good, bad, interesting, horrible, informative etc.)

  3. Try to define the over-all theme of the page.

  4. Describe the page - you should at least consider the following aspects of it:

  5.  

    How is it composed?
    Which elements does it consist of?
    Does the page seem slow or fast in downloading? Why?
    What role do colours play - if there are any?
    What images are used? (Standard clipart, scanned pictures?)
    Does the page contain adverts? If yes, for what? Are the adverts
           relevant for the theme of the page?
    Is audio part of the page? What is the Effect?
    Is video part of the page? What is the effect. 

  6. Does the author try to make you come back to the page? If yes: What means has he used? Why would he like you to come back, do you think? If not: why not?

  7. What is the relationship between what you defined as the theme of the page and all the other elements you have found?

  8. If the page includes a "mail-link" and an invitation to comment on the page consider writing a reply. You should write a concise summary of your findings (no more than ten lines): Include the following:
  9. - who you are
     - why you are writing
     - what you think of his/her/its page - i.e. the results of your 
          analysis
     - remember: you are writing to a person you do not know at all, 
           so be polite and friendly.
  10. When you have finished your report on the page of your choice mail it to me by clicking here. You should also prepare a shortish (5-8) min. presentation to the class.
Good luck!
