Interface Design Critique: ToonDoo.com

On Information Design

• Potential users:  
• people, specifically, children who want to create and share their creative work.
  
• people who like to read and comment on comics.
• Information chunk:  There's not too much text to read.  However, the front page is a bit overwhelming with all hte information available, even though a big chunk of the page is cartoon.
  
• Relevance: The site's front page is a bit busy, but the information does pull you in. 
  
• Labeling:  Clear labeling for the global navigation.  The secondary navigation labels are not as clear. There is also text rollover on the images.
  
• Consistency:  The navigation is very consistent with a global navigation bar on top using colors.
  
• Detail: The front page seems a bit information overload whereas the others are not as busy.
  
• Other comments: You can't see much without logging in.
  

On Interactivity:

• Orientation: It's pretty easy to navigate around.
• Navigation: The global and secondary are pretty easy to follow.
• Functionality: It works.
• Information access: You can get to the main functions from the global navigation or the little icons on the upper right corner.

On screen Design:

• Attractive:  It looked busy to me and not very "professional." However, it is a site geared towards kids.
• Color: Very colorful.
• Layout: Pretty easy to follow.
• Readability:  Text size is a bit small but does not interfere with my reading the site.
