When I first saw the email, I thought this was due Monday so I rushed it and didn't really fit the criteria of the assignment.
www.gamefaqs.com
A good site with extensive message boards. I hate the new layout but the classic layout is still accessible. It's blue and easy on the eyes. There's also a lot of white space.
www.newsgrounds.com
A collection of uploaded flash videos. A lot of great content can be found here. You may have heard the controversy about a guy who performed a school shooting posting a violent video beforehand. The site is fairly consistent and has a simple layout that uses orange and black as its choice colors. These may not be conventional, but they work well for the sites purpose from an emotional standpoint.
www.amazon.com
Everything you want to buy, except it's probably cheaper than other places. This is especially true for CDs or older items. The website is simple and there is a lot of white space used. It's easy on the eyes and user friendly.
www.ytmnd.com
A site based around a unique form of graphic file. These are often simple gif's with a repeating sound track. The common aspect is the repeating image trick they pull to fill the page. The front pages doesn't look nice, but when you enter the archives its a simple white-washed search.
www.howstuffworks.com
A great place to learn how stuff works. Anything from a septic system to a nuclear reactor. It's another very simple with an easy interface and is loaded with white space.
