Object: Supreme website

It is the official website of supreme, it looks very cool by just looking at its design. However, the user experience is actually very bad, especially for new user.

Disadvantage: 

1. the background of the web page is white, and the option button is very small and light at the bottom of the page, it is hard to see it and easy to miss it. 

2. in the middle of the page, there are many pictures that links to different category. It is hard to tell which category it is linking to by just looking at the picture, especially for new user. 

3. after clicking into the link, it is redirected a new page that contains the product, however, this category contains many different items, and you can only go through each item by clicking the arrow at the right end conner, and there is no other way to skip the product I don't need, Moreover, for some product, it contains multiple pictures of different angle, it is inconvenience for user to skip over those if they don't want to look specific product.

4. There are not many description on the product.

Experience:

It takes me sometime to find the page of where the product is listing. In addition, after finding the product page, I was looking for looking at the T-shirt of this brand, but it takes me clicking half of the link to find the T-shirt pages because it only contains pictures and nothing else. And I was tired by clicking the next arrow to go over all T-shirt to find the one I want.

Improve:

1. Making the font bigger and clear

2. Adding title of reference beside the picture(example: naming each category beside the picture)

3. Adding the feature of convince searching(example: keyword searching or put all pictures at once and make it smaller so that user can get the product they want faster)

4. Adding more description of the product

Product: Beats studio wireless 

This is beats studio wireless which everybody is familiar, it is using bluetooth to complete the remote control, one very cool feature is that you can answer the phone by pressing the b button 

Disadvantage: answering phone call without clicking b button will result in disability
Experience: it is a good feature that you can answer the phone my simply clicking the b button, but if you are playing on your phone and phone call comes in, it will be human's first intention to answer the phone by accepting the phone call on the phone instead of clicking the b button. And the head phone will end up with loosing its microphone feature, and you have to disconnect it and reconnect it again.
Improve: it can be improved by upgrading the functionality so that it can support both b button feature and answering phone call on the phone.

Product: Apple 45W MagSafe 2 Power Adapter

Design:The power adapter actually has a very good design on collecting the cables, it has designed a cable holder so that the cable can be wound neatly around itself. 

Advantage:it is convenience for taking out and the cable holder prevents cable for rolling knot

Disadvantage: the cable is easy to get broken and the only way to repair it is to change the entire power adapter
Experience: The design of cable holder is actually very good,  cable can easily get broken or roll knot without wounding. However, even though this design has reduced the broken rate of the entire cable, damage still occurs on the cable near the MagSafe. And it cannot be repaired by just changing the cable, it is very bad user experience since the Power Adapter is 100$.
Improve: it can be improved by 1. making the quality of the cable better, such as using better materials or making the cable thicker on the easier broken part. 2. it can use the same design as the IPhone adapter, such as separating the power adapter and the cable into two part, so that user only needs to change a new cable instead of buying a new adapter
