This video was raw and captivating. The addition of music was a great touch and was balanced well with the audio tracks of the speakers. I wish the presentation of the small bit of written content and the video had not been separated by ads.

I’m sure many have never thought about the number of sex offenders living in their neighbourhoods. The interactive map was easy to use and much more effective than a chart or text inclusion in the story would have been.

Teaser photos to go with map locations was just enough to entice people to go for a look. The use of arrows to move from one display to another on the map made it easy to use.

GENERAL COMMENT

Placement of interactive visual elements is important on your website. It is easy for them to be lost in a clutter of ads and not be noticed if not well placed.
