How is the structure solved? Indicate the main sections of the website architecture.
The structure of the websites consists in :The Home page
three different sections:
Which information formats have been used in each section (text, hypertext, images, audio, video)?
In the project Be Cookie there are various formats that have been used, this formats include images in all of the sections because each time a section is shown like for example "rock & cookies" or "fashion & cookies" there is an image of the cookie that represents the person. Furthermore we can see this images are a good representation of the persons personality or hobbie for example Rafael Nadal and his cookie shows a tennis ball. We can also see that under esach section there is text that describes that cookie. There is also a section that provides audio and at the same time allows the user to "stop" or "play" the music.
What other resources, such as chronologies, maps, infographics, photo galleries and videos, etc. have been used?
There are not many resources other than images that are used. The only method is that the photogallery in the homepage is well shown as animated images, therefore while the home page is being viewed the images will be scrolling sideways in the page. At the same time on the other area of the page, where animated images are also used but in a different form since they are used in text. There are also hyperlinks being used under the section of "creating a new cookie" or "the original cookies". This will appear as hyperlinks because it provides "click here" and therefore when clicking it takes you to another page where the activity will be released.
How can the users participate? What kind of interactivity and navigation mechanisms are provided?.
The user can participate in the way that in the bottom of the project there are two options. One of them allowing the user to "create their own cookie". This allows user participation because it allows the user to decide the shape of the cookie for example a star. Choosing the topping from a variety of flavours like chocolate, strawberry or vanilla and then selecting more extra toppings from cookie crisps etc.
How is the content being updated?
The content of the project in my personal opinion is that this should be updated. For example giving more sections not only sport,rock or fashion but also into different suctions such as movies, other types of music etc. Also during the genre that was already established they could have more examples of people. Another way to extend the sections will be to have more variety when it comes to creating a personal cookie. I think this because they only have two possible designs and it somehow shows that this area is less developed because of all the examples of cookies that are seen in the other sections. This can be a problem because when a user tries to create their own cookie they might have a great idea but too little resources to create it.
Does the project include social media resources (Web 2.0)? Which ones and what´s their purpose?
The project uses Web 2.0 since it uses social networks such as Facebook, Twitter etc. The main idea of the use of this social networking sites is that it shows before portraying the icons of the social networking the sentence ´´ Who are we´´. Beacuse of this we can know that the main purpose is that people who see the project can also follow this main concept not only in the projects website bur rather than that under their own profile in Facebook or other social networking sites. If Be Cookie has a profille in this websites then their information will also be displayed in this sites and therefore more people will be able to access the information. By this, I mean that it will provide a wider audience.
I think that the project is very original, each section is well developed. By this I mean that the three sections on sports, rock and fashion have the same amount of work put into it. Moreover, as stated before I believe that the project could have been better by having different options when it comes to customer participation, in other words having other alternatives when designing the cookie.
