Top 5 Websites

My gmail account keeps destroying itself so I had to post this during class because I could not access the blog.

www.youtube.com

This website is very functional in, first of all, its use of the color white to contrast with the rest of the site. It has very user friendly assistance tool bars on the home page and on the side of the screen to make finding related content much easier.

www.gamewinners.com

This website is most functional due to its use of white in the catalog. When trying to find the correct search page on a crowded screen, the white gives great contrast and almost makes the screen look less crowded.

www.facebook.com

Once again it is the contrast with white that makes the website so superior by seemingly increasing the size of the screen.

www.google.com

No only does google effectively use the color white effectively on the screen, but it uses different background colors to put the links in different categories.

www.mybama.ua.edu

It has effective contrast between the red and white to help with the division between the titles and the body of the page. it also uses the idea of thirds very effectively to organise the different aspects of the page.
