| You know what, I don't think I've
ever visited a Queen Serenity shrine before. I'm glad someone has made
one, because Queen Serenity can be sort of a confusing character and she
could definitely be explained to us. The main page has an elegant black/white
scheme, but the picture of Serenity looks seriously disorted and the lines
stop before they get to the picture. Also, I think it would look nice if
you filled the blank black space with decorations; maybe put the links
in a coloured table. They're also underlined; check out Ami's Cheat Sheet
in the help section for directions on how
to get non-underlined links. The writing at the bottom would work better
on a credits page, with a simple disclaimer in a prettier font taking its
place. Also, change the vlink attribute on the main page.
On Updates we have a broken pic...also,
the links at the bottom could be lighter and separated more clearly.
"This Site" has another broken pic
where the title pic should be, and a vivid picture of Serenity on the right.
This picture is pretty but I would suggest editing it so that it blends
in more with the background; maybe cut out everything but Serenity and
the light around her.
The awards page could use a title...again,
the picture is very pretty, but more important would be a title picture
and one that blends in with the background. Also, the awards are pretty
low of the page so I can't even see them until I scroll. The first one
is broken, as well as the fourth.
The "Support" page takes a
strange departure from the normal black scheme, and the content is sort
of splayed untidily. A "back" link would be nice.
Ok, now we get to the real stuff.
"Look Within Queen Serenity" has the same type of layout as the "This Site"
page, and again the picture doesn't blend well. And again the title pic
is a broken picture. ^_^;;
"The Fallen Kingdom" seems to be
a page about Queen Serenity's fall from grace, but it goes into the subject
of Serenity's devotion to her daughter. This seems sort of out of the blue;
however it's a nice thought. I would recommend not listing it first since,
well, it doesn't make sense to and it's not the most important page here.
Also, the pictures look very tacky just out in the middle there.
At least use ALIGN=LEFT in the IMG tag, and if you really wanted it to
look nice you would use border around the picures.
"The Court" desribes very briefly
the other members of Serenity's court, however it doesn't include the moon
cats or explain exactly why there are Princesses for each planet.
"Family Ties" has a lot of strange
information in it, and mispells Endymion. The background is a striking
and not so attractive blue, and the pictures are large and awkward.
"Last Words" is a good idea, but
the picture at the top is broken and the text is rather large. Also, I
would love it if you would explain more clearly what was going on at this
point, and what happened afterward.
"Moon Rock" gives us something of
an explanation of Queen Serenity. However, there are a lot of spelling
and grammar errors, and some of it doesn't make sense.
"Temple of Worship" is...ummm...I
honestly don't know. The picture is nice, but...what is this? Seems pretty
random. "Different" is mispelled.
"Interactive" coul use a title, but
at least the title pic isn't broken. ^_^ However, what needs to be done
here is a blending of the pictures into the background. You might also
try using a right-border background to make it fit more snugly.
The "Poll" and "Quiz" title pics
are broken...The "Queen With No Crown" page is a nice idea. The first one
doesn't make sense, though, and neither does the second, for that
matter. Anyway, here's one of those YKY...yadda yadda lists. Some are funny,
some don't make sense ("When you are Queen Serenity..."). Please check
it for spelling.
The "Moon Music" page is..nice...but
most of these are Sailor Moon sounds. I don't get it. ^_^;; Anyway, the
title pic here is an example of what I mean by blending in with the background.
Try that more often. ^_^;
Ahhh...Moon Kingdom Library finally
uses pics that blend into the background somewhat. However, the Poems link
leads to a poll. ^_^; The Fan Fiction section is nice and large, but the
layout is tacky and the picture is random.
Overall, this site has the makings
of a nice shhrine, but it wasn't executed all that well. There isn't a
lot of stuff here; there could be a lot more information, pictures, sounds,
etc. Also, about the design; you're getting it with the subpage layouts;
I encourage you to experiment with text alignment, and especially backgrounds.
Right-border backgrounds would look great on the subpages. Add a little
more meat to the subpages and it will be very worthwhile. |
