Journal 8

Ugly Website: http://dictionary.reference.com/

For my ugly website, I decided to choose dictionary.com. Obviously, a dictionary is not very aesthetically pleasing and the website is no different. The website serves its purpose for finding the definition for certain words, but couldn't it be more entertaining at the same time? The only pictures on the website are ads that have no relation to the word being searched. It would be great if this website provided pictures along with the definitions to show examples.

Attractive Website: http://www.usatoday.com/

I decided to choose usatoday.com for my attractive website because of the amount of pictures used on the homepage. Each story and headline provides a picture alongside it so the reader can see what they are reading about. It's almost as if the picture is screaming to the clicked so the story can be read. Some stories even have a whole gallery of photos to go along with it. Overall, the site is very colorful and attracts readers to come back.
