CNN.com Homepage Conclusion

11Nov09

The CNN.com homepage has a LOT going on.

Lots of boxes, lots of colors, lots of headlines, and lots of links all trying to give the news to readers but making the news as convenient and accessible as possible.

While doing this project, the CNN.com webpage changed to one more organized and accessible. Many more organizational boxes and many more blue links to news stories on the homepage. They also changed their color scheme to more red, a color that signifies power and excitement.

When looking at CNN.com and breaking it down one realizes that CNN has many tools they use from short word counts, pictures, and catchy headlines to make sure that news consumers have the most accessible and realiable news. So many times readers take for granted the websites they read and how they function to us as readers. Looking at CNN.com allowed me to see some of the elements that lead to my readership and the readership of many others.
