USA Today

Graphic Design: The header is full of color, and each navigation tab is a different color. The rest of the color shows up farther down the page where the top stories from each section are located, and the sections letters of the name correspond to the tab color at the top of the page. Grey boxes point out the beginning of a new section, stands out because the background is white.

Information Design: 7 columns. Main stories are on the top, underneath the navigation bar, and they take up 5 columns. The most popular stories are also near the top, as well as the weather. Most news sites, I've noticed, have these things at the top.

Interface Design: When refreshing the page, nothing new happens. The largest image stays the same. The navigation bar is located at the top underneath the header. The top pics, mainly multimedia, changes every 30 seconds or so, but the viewer can also scroll through. There are 5 sections/images that change.

Document Production: several style sheets, some are for different internet browsers, some embedded style, mobile stylesheet

Scripting & Programming: RSS feeds, javascript, widgets, podcasts

Multimedia: videos, images, comments, recommend, voting, games
