New York Times

Graphic Design: bland colors: neutral, red, and lots of blue. Nothing really stands out on the page except for photos and ads. Each section is separated with lines, like most other news Web sites. Halfway down the page, there is a larger, noticeable double line, that breaks the page in half.

Information Design: the top has 5 columns, and the main story/teaser takes up the first 3 columns. After the double line, there is an image and link to the top story in each section of the paper. Below that, there are links to the top 3 stories in each section, as well as an area with the most popular stories.

Interface Design: The header is centered on the page with ads on either side, which change each time you refresh the page. There are links above the header, but the nav bar is vertical and floated to the left side of the page, almost missed it. When you open up a story, the nav bar moves to the top.

Document Production: RSS, severalexternal stylesheet, mobile page

Scripting & Programming: php, javascript

Mulitmedia: images all over the page, and there is a section dedicated to videos/mulitmedia.
