One of the reason we decided on this website was because it was very useful as it is relevant and specific to the needs of any individual who wants to learn how to do origami, but mainly we decided on it as a bit of fun and wanted to bring some creativity to the classroom by introducing something new. The website is also authentic and easily accessible for everyone varying from adults to children. Adults in particular who are hoping to learn the craft would find this website aesthetically pleasing. When looking into the authenticity of the website we found the author, Fumiaki Shingu, and typed his name into google using "site: Fumiaki Shingu" to find out what links came up in relation to his name to make sure that the site was appropriate, we came up with the search results that Fumiaki Shingu can be seen as an authoritative figure in the making of origami as he has three books published in the subject that can be bought on a number of sites like Amazon.co.uk. Some other results that came up can be seen in the example above.Additionally the authors authenticity can be backed up through using research where I found information regarding the author such as he graduated from a design college and founded the company CITY PLAN Co., Ltd in 1984, where he then produced products in origami called “JOYD” which were successfully sold in major shops such as Toys R Us and Tokyo Hands, Loft. As well as this he has also done business overseas with clients in New York and Paris and then set up this site in 2002. Although the site was set up over 12 years ago the style of origami hasn't changed and therefore still makes it useful for everyone. Furthermore those with children will be pleased to know that the content of the website is completely appropriate, which can be checked and analysed by typing site: http://en.origami-club.com/fun/index.html on Google as well. We found when checking the authenticity of the website using this method that nothing other than origami links could be found. All in all we found this a nice little site to use if anyone reading is interested in origami as there are a different range of toolbars and buttons that redirected you to areas of the site that showed different types of origami until you found the model you wanted to create specifically.I personally would give it a massive thumbs up as the instructions included are very easy to follow, where you get a choice to either follow a diagram or an actual animation of someone folding the paper step by step which I thought was pretty cool!
