The Washington Times

Graphic Design: color dominates this page. Each section is separated by colors inside boxes with rounded edges. Blue and red seem to be the dominate colors, like other sites, with gray as a third complimentary color. The 'main attraction' is the largest box.

Information Design: 4 columns and the column on the far right of the screen consists of advertisements. Underneath the main section, the links to opinion articles and blogs are listed. Towards the bottom of the page, there are links to the top articles for each section of the page, like most news sites.

Interface Design: There are ads above the header. The header isn't anything special, just their papers name and ways to subscribe. Below that is the nav bar, like most sites. Large image floated to the left in the main section of the page. It is made like a cube and the reader has the ability to change the image or if the page is idol for a few seconds, the whole page goes black just to change the cube, not very efficient.

Document Production: mobile stylesheet, several external stylesheets, embedded style

Scripting & Programming: javascript, RSS, podcasts

Multimedia: images, 'question of the day' survey, video
