Calgary Elbow Byelection!

Posted by Tyler Kinch on 15th May 2007

Don’t have time to say too much on this, but the Alberta NDP will have a strong candidate in this byelection, no matter who wins nomination!

The NDP ruined it’s website!

Posted by Tyler Kinch on 3rd May 2007

Here, I’m actually criticizing the NDP! It’s only over their website.

I guess I’m picky, as a graphic design student, but I really liked the old NDP site. It was sleek and simple. I actually thought it was the best design out of all the parties. I guess I shouldn’t be criticizing as I haven’t really done anything to my blog. It isn’t even my own design.

The website is in no means horrible, but I liked the old design a lot better. The colours don’t seem to work too well either, green and orange work well together but the different shades and tints on the new site clash a bit.

Oh well, if I got a party who takes care of my and average Canadians’ interests, I can handle a mediocre website.

EDITED TO ADD:
After looking over the new site in depth, I do say the site has potential. The menus need to be fixed up a bit and the colours adjusted a bit. I do like the right sidebar that can be seen on every page but the homepage. I do not like the way the MP’s are presented on the “Our Caucus Page.” Too much back and forth between the colours.

And I thought I was bad when I started to criticize menus at restaurants. My prepress instructor warned me of this :P
