Exercise #10: Motion/Movement

This is a website known as Graphic Archaeology. The user can navigate through a lot of different graphic art. The website gives you an option to either navigate through the slides on the bottom, or the titles on the sidebar. It also has another form of navigation in the top. Which is a way to move to another categorized page, to either submit your work or learn more about who runs this site, etc. As you can see the website also has arrows on the bottom left where the site allows the viewer a type of linear navigation rather than clicking on each slide. It allows you to go through the slides one by one. The only problem with these type of navigation on this page is that there is a lot of different types and not all of them seem easy to use. Also for some people it may not be easy to see because there is so much going on in the website, some of the navigation might be hard to locate.
As a user of the iPhone, I have always found the navigation very easy to use and fast. In this image it shows some type of group chat going on. There is a bottom navigation bar that allows you to go back, forward, add another person to chat, or to open another website. There is also an open space for the user to type and a send button parallel to it. On the top, it also allows you to go back onto the main page. Almost anything you open on an iPhone will give you these options. I think why many people are fans on the iPhone is because the navigation is so clear, easy to use and it allows them to move through space without getting stuck or not knowing what to do.
