Website with Excessive Background Noise
CNN.com - Although the site is well organized the adds in the background create unneeded noise that distract the viewer and can be somewhat annoying.
Website with low Competing Noise
Youtube.com - Youtube's sole purpose is to allow people to view videos posted by other people and it achieves that. The simplicity of the website works to its advantage because it is easy to navigate and with the simple color pallet it works well.
Website where there is not obvious clickable areas
Website where it is obvious where to click
Wikipedia.com - Really not a big debacle about this one, the good ole blue link buttons are evident enough of what is clickable or not which is genius if you think about it.
Website not split up into clearly defined areas
MLB.com - The website is simple and it gets right to the point but when you scroll down all of the parts have the same background color and they all blend together at first glance. Only when you look around you notice they're meant to be separate sections.
Website clearly split up into defined areas
ESPN.com - Unlike MLB.com, ESPN is physically split up into different sections where the viewer can clearly see where the section begins and ends. It is very streamlined and organized and well put together.
Website that uses good conventions
Website that makes good use of visual hierarchies
Apple.com - What Apple does good with their website is that they make it very simple with a white background and sans serif fonts and a sort of grey style color scheme. When there is a big announcement they need to make they just upload a huge picture with a loud background and that will capture the attention of of the viewer right away.
