Task 1

http://www.metro.co.uk/home/

This website is very interactive and to some it could be over cluttered with hyper links placed at the top of the page  in individual boxes and all of the stories having hyper links to get the rest of the information about that story.

The colour scheme is mainly white except from the bold blue banner with the logo and name of the website being displayed. 

Task 1

http://www.imdb.com/

This is a very square boxed in design with a series of boxes stacked on top of one another on the right hand side of the page, within these boxes are hyper links to other pages with in the website. The main feature is that of a moving advertisement of a selection of movies that you can click to play. Underneath this is a variation of hyperlinks and information that is accompanied by a picture.

The typography used is very varied although as in the previouse website investigated the name of the website is the most dominate feature, in a bold black typography against a yellow/gold coloured box.

You can see from the grid that surrounds all the major points on this website that it is a fairly simple layout, with all the interactive boxes and drop down menus being on the right hand side of the page. leaving the left hand side to be dominated by the logo and a cartoon of the benefits of the website. 

The typography used is simple and not eye catching in the slightest although the words 'Sign up' and in bold and bigger than the rest of the text. The biggest piece of writing and the most eye catching is that of the website name itself, Additionally by making it a different colour from the rest of the writing. It is immediately the most dominate piece of writing on the page.

The blue colours that are used may be to reflect a chilled atmosphere that the website is trying to promote. the fact that the background is little more than a light blue fade is a really simple design. This maybe so that the background is not distracting in any way. With it having a dark blue band across the top in contrast to the colour of the name of the website it makes it the most dominant part of the website.
