On judging web design at the NYF, Sam remarks, “There is a huge gap between art and technology that needs to be bridged when it comes to web designing. I will be evaluating the entries on the basis of how well the person has fused this gap. I will also assess how successful the entry is, with the layout and design, in engaging the target audience to stay longer on the website.”
