Gmarket Shopping

First time shopping at Qoo10 (used to be called Gmarket)!
Always thought that  Qoo10  is a scam and they NEVER sell good thing. Thus, ever since I bought items from Qoo10, I would definitely buy items from there again!

A reference picture for those who are new to Qoo10(Gmarket)

I was feeling really happy when I saw this on my study table!!

Here i requested for the non-registered mail (as there wasn't any "Registered Option" under the shipping category). What's Best is that the Shipping is FREE!

(ps. Have "liquified" my address for confidential purpose) =X

I have ordered the " SM45 (Cuties Winnie) " for myself and the "SM144 (Cartoon Girls)" for my friend.




Here's what it looks like at the back of my envelope.

The seller has pasted this cute angry bird name sticker with a chop stating his address for undelivered mail.




Here's how it'll look inside the envelope. The two stickers!! ^^

SM144 (Cartoon Girls)

                              
                    

Even though I have received my item in perfect condition, but the shipping is abit slow. It look around 4-5 days to reach my house. 
Hence here's my rating for this item
Design: 5/5
Delivery: 3/5
Condition : 4/5

This movie basically narrates about Alex The Lion, Marty The Zebra, Gloria The Hippo and Melman The Giraffe getting lost in Europe and thinking of different ways to get back home. A funny yet entertaining comedy to watch for the year. 

As a fan of Madagascar, its really sad to hear that this would be the third and final installment of the Madagascar Movie by Dreamworks CEO Jeffery Katzenberg.

I really love the animation and special effects used in this show as it seems as if you are inside a circus. The colors and sound effects were AMAZING TOO!!

Head down to the cinema be entertained by this comedy of the year!

Website Review AIGA!

Came across this website: http://www.aiga.org.
It narrates about the stories, interviews and essays of past and present designers.

Here are some of my personal reviews for the overall layout of the website.

TOP Page
 
 BOTTOM Page

Pros of this website
1) Alot of information
2) When i pressed on the "I AM A ..." link, it will bring me to some sort of newsletter which will lead me to the interest and some news that I may be interested in.
Cons of this website
1) Content of the website too clutted and messy. Text of the header and the links are too spaced out.
2) Content are left-sided.
3) Words are too small.
4) The links in this website are just everywhere. Not very organised
5) No central-focus point.
6) Too many font family used which will cause a confusion to the user.
7) The logo of the website is too plain.
8) The links for "login, become a member, follow AIGA shouldn't be placed at the top-left hand corner or the website.

How i feel this website can be improved on:
1) Content to be more centralised.
2) The size of the font should be bigger.
3) The company should redesigned their company logo.
4) Too many links in the website. The company should use some dropdown box to simplify their website.
5) A border in the website thus it will be neater and easier to read.
