Contrast: This is probably the only part of the page that is lacking. Things that are important don't really stand out. The pictures dominate the homepage, and also the title of the page, but other than that nothing really pops out.
Color: Very patriotic colors. They fit what they are trying to represent well. The white on blue text makes the words seem bold and important.
Alignment: Everything is properly aligned here. The title is center aligned, but I think it is needed to create a boldness. The blog post by Hank is left aligned, which is also appropriate as well. Pictures are assorted with tabs that support and make sense with the pictures.
Proximity: The best part of this page. Pictures do not intermingle with text and everything stays within it's own boundaries. Each part of the page has a distinct section that are separated by dividers.
Repitition: The Patriotic color scheme and theme is repeated thoroughly throughout the page. The background picture is patriotic, the title is patriotic, even the pictures of cats have a slight sense of patriotism to them. The text is the same font throughout the page.
Hankforsenate.com has convinced me. Hank For Senate 2012.
This is a fairly effective website. I really like the badge thing talking about tyranny in the background picture. I think the photo gallery totally makes this site, so funny!
ReplyDeleteGood analysis. Yeah, it's important to keep a patriotic design throughout (not even Newt Gingrich does that very much on his website I feel). But it's odd how much emphasis they put on pictures rather than on the text. For an advertising websites trying to sell stuff that would make sense, but for a information based website trying to convince people to vote for a certain person, I would think you'd want to focus more on the texts and hard facts. Interesting.
