Geffrye Museum Game analysis Unit 5

I was assigned to analyse the games on that Geffrye Museum website

1. What is the first page of this and other web sites usually called?
Home page


2. Are you able to see where to go (navigate) to find the activities on the site for younger children? Say how you know this.
It is simple to navigate the website to find the kids zone. It is an old fashioned sign-post that has the links on it.



3. What happens when you click on the link? Describe what you see on the page.
You will see the same website but now its dumbed down for kids with the mascot (it is a little dog). The mascot looks friendly and appealing for children.
What do I mean by dumbed down it because its more kid friendly than the website that you saw before hand and its it has games. The colours are appealing for children and they like the cartoon style of the website.


4. Is this page attractive to a young audience? If you answer yes, say why you think it is attractive to a young audience. If you answer no, so why you don't think it is attractive to a young audience.
Its is attractive because it more kid friendly (colour and drawing style) than the main one at the start that because the other one is mainly for big people and kids may find it scary. It is the interactivity that might make them confused and they could find that scary and not want to play.



5. How do you navigate to other links on the site? How has the designer helped you to know this? 
It was easy and sample to find. The sign-post shows you the way to go and the links are on it.

  1. Good. You might expand on the answers. For instance why do you say it is dumbed down in question 3. What evidence do you have for that point? Also what is more "kid friendly?" Is this relating to colours or content or the interactivity. Try to be specific, especially as there is no visuals to show what you mean! Steve
