That's One Way To Do It

The class discussion about list was definitely fascinating, That got me to think about what webpages use features like lists most effectively. As the avid sports fan that i am, i instantly thought of ESPN. I went on their website and i immediately noticed that they use it correctly. But first, I will show you how to properly list things on a blog like mines. For example,
  1. Cordell😏😏😏😏😏
  2. Is
  3. The
  4. Best
  5. Name
  6. Ever
  7. Created  πŸ—ΊπŸ—Ί
On a more serious note, I decided to look on a article about five transactions the AFC South should make during the off-season. As i started to read through the article i noticed how they used the list to headline the moves each team should make. Also, i did notice how the first headline on the list was pushed to the right because of the logo of each team. Although it was a minor change i believe that it made the design a lot more interesting.

Its Harvard For A Reason

I happened to look at the Harvard University Graduate School of Design and discovered how great the design was. It was linked to me from web designers depot.com. On the website it was labeled to be apart of seven unique design decisions. The first thing i noticed when i opened the page was how clean the page was. I generally expect there to be a lot of clutter on a school web page. More than that, i noticed how there is a visual display to navigate through. This obviously works great because it is a school for design but it could cover up so many other issues. By putting images to go through instead of columns or list, the viewer would be able to feel more engaged. The distinct beauty of the images grab your attention as soon as you enter the web page. I also believe that they did a good job of mixing up the format as someone scrolls down the page. They begin to center more pictures and videos as the viewer scroll down. I believe this could be a great tool to use for a website that incorporates a lot of videos. The softness of many of the pictures and background really works well for this website as well. It seems as though everything blends right in together.
