To make things easier, I've created a format:  

The Name
1. Purpose of production
2. One strength of production
3. One thing that can be improved


Jenny
1. Production's message seems to talk about how to interact with strangers (alien interaction game).

2.  The functionality and interactive qualities really keep the audience's interest.

3.  The point of the game should be clarified, and it could also be longer--a lot of properties of a first-time meeting were not addressed.  Try to cover as much ground n that area as possible.

1. Provides a great, short example of a form of martial art, and shows why it's his preferred style.

2.  Good camera work, and great use of music (GREAT way to use the Zhao vs. Prince Zuko theme, I must say!).The music is very appropriate since it comes from a cartoon scene that actually depicts the kung fu style you're advertising.

3.  Your message also needs to be clarified...are you advertising a certain form of martial arts, or martial arts in general?  And provide more reasons (via quick labels) as to why it's beneficial.

Gabby
1.  Promotes the husky school spirit in the form of a rap/poem? (still not sure)

2.  The lyrics were pretty clever, and the camera shots were very balanced...you put Tech in a good perspective.

3.  Your choice of music is...iffy...and it doesn't seem to capture the mood.  I had a hard time maintaining interest.

Ed
1.  The animated comic puts a positive spin on Michigan tech stereotypes

2.  The whiteboard animation was very cool and unique, and overall it was funny.

3.  Vary the voiceovers; I couldn't always tell who was talking.  Get someone to provide another voice, if you have to.

1.  A portfolio website showcasing your skills and experience, a good way to appeal to employers.

2.  It's simple and easy to navigation--straightforward and not too flashy, it gets its point across quickly.

3.  Color choice can be better...some colors (and navigation menus) are very difficult to see and read because they don't contrast enough with the background.  Consider making a light background with dark colors, or vice versa---don't go with just one color scale.

1.  Another page showing off personal work (not all of it is clear).

2.  The changing background is pretty neat--just make sure you don't overdo it.

3.  The layout is a little busy...try simplifying it.

Jake
1.  Some sort of puzzle game--exact intention is unclear.

2.  Well, it's functional...that alone is VERY impressive, I know I could never do that. I'm very impressed.

3.  Again, purpose is unclear...it needs more work.

Nora
1.  A website to show off her mad photography skillz.

2.  The photos are AMAZING...they look like they were done by a professional.  Great angles, great shots.

3.  The layout and the text color both need adjustment--both are a little funky (contrast problems with some text, some layout layers don't line up).
