The stuff on the right should have just been deleted or else replaced with a simple logo. Also it takes too long to load. (JPL has dual T3's.

I kind of like the design, but I don't think the headings and organization are clear/informative enough.

There may be about as much real stuff as the other sites have, but it doesn't look busy or cluttered at all. The simple color scheme makes it easier on the eyes than most web sites.

No spread. > Takes *way* too long to load. Only barely avoids overusing color in places. This one looks to me like the designer was told to use every trick in the book once on the page. He knew it was a bad idea and did the best he could, but the result still lacks unity. Seriously, I suspect this page of being designed by committee. In summary: let's not let our (obvious) interest in the technology obscure the real information we are trying to communicate. A simple design without any gaffes will avoid distracting from that information. Maybe it won't get anyone a promotion to head of the art department, but that's not our goal. Book recommendation: The Visual Display of Quantitative Information, by Edward R. Tufte. (From memory, hope I got it right.) Signature failed Preliminary Design Review. Feasibility of a new signature is currently being evaluated. h.b.hotz@jpl.nasa.gov, or hbhotz@oxy.edu
