Moustache is good is a site that pays tribute to mustaches in history.  Its fun, the content is humorous and the site is user driven. The landing page is a bell much like one that twould be in a barber shop. Thewhole site is based around the idea of being inside a barbar shop. the navigation of the site is minimal and the whole thing is actually in French, but essentially theer is an animation and then a link that leads you to a place where you can submit pictures of yourself.

You can always get back to the home page from wherever you are on the site. The architecture is very shallow, there is not much content to the site at all.
 I think the hierarchy of the typography on the site is apparent. Even though its in a different language i know where to go and what is more important. The labels of the navigation are clear, especially considering that there are not much of them.

The layout stays consistent on each page. The focal point of the main page is the faux mirror and then the gallery on the next. They are noticed because they are essentially the only things  on those pages.

The imagery/ photos on the site add everything to the site considering they are the only thing on the site. There are icons on the bottom of the home page that direct to facebook , the designer's website, and other things to enhance the site like full screen and sound. I didnt understand entirley where the logo of the firm would take me cause i was not familiar with it. I had to click on the others to understand what they were.One is an icon of an iPhone that downloads backgrounds for the iPhone, but i was confused as to why that was there. I almsot thought it was going to be the iphone version of the site, which i thought was weird to have on their main site, but that was not the case. Still confusing though.






The colors used are reminiscent of a barber shop and are appropriate to the subject matter. The site is used for entertainment purposes. Animation is certainly used to enhance the site, as well as sound effects.
