My anthropology teacher this semester is the renowned Anthropologist J. Peacock. When I Googled him, I found a plethora of websites that mentioned his research, articles and books. I also came across a "profile" of sorts that he has put together.
First of all, I noted his black and white picture. He is an older man and I like that he has put up a younger picture of himself. I think that it is distinguished and shows his 'status' per se. This profile, however, is every extensive. It has a list of EVERYTHING that he's written and contributed to. This is good, yet the asthetics of it are harsh. As an anthropologist, one would want to have a page like this listing absolutely everything, chronologically and sysematically. Though, in this day in age, a page like this looks very outdated. His menu bar down the left hand side isn't "floating." Instead, when you scroll down, it repeats again and again. This is a little confusing. Also the only colors are the grey background and the yellow lists. I would suggest he put a photo album up, and reorganize his menu onto the front page.
I realize, after looking at this profile that for mine I'm going to want something that represents my age and modernity appropriately. I know that people like pictures, so perhaps I will include relevant album of my travels and experiences abroad. Also I think I will add an appeasing color scheme. I look forward to creating my own site!
