Although this is not specifically a designer's website, my main interest with this website and I start with this one is the 'student work' link that relates indirectly to us. I could comment on the website itself; it's clean, loads quickly, fulfills it's criteria however it isn't that exciting to sumerize in a nutshell. Nonetheless, the links towards the student's own website is highly interesting.

In case anybody reading this isn't aware (although, consdering my audience is those on the course / directing the course, I'd be concerned if you didn't!) we are being taught in a manner that is similar to Vicki's course. We, as students, are to create a website and maintain a blog as part of developing ourselves as designers in our longed-after fields. This particular course is from Colombus University in America, giving an insight into another education system, and further into another culture. I highly recommend you guys to take a look! :D looking at other student's work that isn't a part of the college I feel is a bonus, and will really help us to guage what we can achieve. The list isn't huge, I took the time to take a peek at some of the student's websites and blogs. The websites are simple, in the vein of Vicki Golden's websites, but they fulfil their purposes. For students whom, I am guessing, are not versed in HTML / CSS these websites are pretty impressive and for the most part clutter free. Their work, especially some students, are amazing! I wish I could do that kind of stuff! I am, for now, looking at the layout of the websites and whether or not they are exciting in this web 2.0 world.
