Exercise 1: Web Analysis 

Prompt: Choose TWO (2) websites from the link given. Review the website that you've selected carefully, taking note of its design, layout, content, and functionality. Identify the strengths and weaknesses of the website, and consider how they impact the user experience.
Write a brief report summarizing your findings and recommendations.




Exercise 2: Web Replication

Prompt: Your task is to replicate TWO (2) existing websites given in the link by the lecturer to gain a better understanding of their structure.

01: First Website Replication

To start with, after viewing all the five given website I priorly choose the Morgan Stanley as one the website to replicate. Then, I proceed to save the landing page from the website using technique from figure below

Fig.1.1 Capturing Landing Page

I use Adobe Illustrator as the tool to replicate the given websites. I make a new canvas with a common dimension then stretch the artboard vertically to fit the height of the landing page. For this certain page, I use 'Roboto' as the most familiar font used in the 'Morgan Stanley' Website, 

Some Repetition/Pattern I notice from this particular website after done 

Thick-Thin Line, across the layout they tend to indicate headlines or selected items with a line in can be horizontally or vertical. I use 'Line segment tool'  to resolve this most of the time.

Fig.1.2 Thick/Thin Lines


The use of sequences Different Typefamily is consistent. Take an example of the one below  The Medium Small(10.26 pt) Type size category, to bold headline (25 pt), and medium size (12 pt). This set of layout being repeated continuously inside the website.

The images I use for the replicated page is from the free stocks hence why it's different from the one in the website. But, I still searching something similar to it so the content still in line.
