Below you will find past layouts of SWV Online with a personal critique and grade for each layout.

Version #1
-The very first layout of course, was a disaster, but it was my disaster. I was just learning how to design my own site and it came together alright. I didn't have much info, but I worked with what I had. I didn't really know how to create my own graphics so all of my images were really sloppy. So, if I had to rate this site I would rate it 1 out of 5.


Version #2
-This version was created after I learned a little more. It was a little cleaner and had a lot more information. I used this background from the old MTV news page and it set the site off pretty well. I was really proud of it. If I had to rate this site I would rate it 3 out of 5.


Version #3
-This version was just thrown together. I actually created this version with a friend, and we designed the site out pretty well. It was clean and easy to navigate through. We could have come up with something a lot better. But at the time, it served it's purpose. This site would have to be rated a 3 out of 5.


Version #4
-This version was merely a temp layout that eventually turned into the splash page. I did not create the images, but they were very professional and made the site look like platinum! Other than that, for a temp layout, I would to rate this site a 3 out of 5.


Version #5
-Alright, this is when the gloves came off. I designed this site with a motive to make it as organized as possible. The layout was very tight. I admired this layout the most, but the graphics weren't eye friendly. I don't know if there is such a thing as something being "too red", but I created it! Other than that, the site was tight! So, if I had to rate this site I would rate it a 4 out of 5.


Version #6
-This version really out-did the previous because it was so organized that I didn't get any emails about people not being able to find anything. So all in all, I think this was one of the best as far as organization goes. The graphics were cool as well. I just wanted something simple! If I had to rate this site I would rate it a 4 out of 5.


Version #7
-This is the current layout and in my opinion, it was the hardest to create. It is also the best! The layout is professional and so are the graphics. Organization was key in this design. I just knew that everyone would enjoy this layout. From the response, I have a feeling that I was right. So, if I had to rate this site I would rate it a 5 out of 5.
