Vikram Seth Blog 3

Vikram Seth, Blog

            The Pride Online, Claudia Taylor Johnson High School, San Antonio, TX;

This website has a very user-friendly layout. The images that change on the main screen are very visually stimulating, and the color scheme is also very pleasant and proud of the school. The only drawback however is that there are too many titles and that the titles are also too close together and not equally spaced. The top bar also has good organization regarding a user’s requirements.

Lasso Online, George Mason High School, Falls Church, VA;

This website’s layout is all white, which can be distracting to the user. The website does however provide many opportunities for social media connections between the user and the school. The pictures that the website chooses to display are not great quality. The ads that the website chooses to run pertain to students, such as “Modern Senior Portraits” or “Behind the Wheel Driving Instruction”. Beyond that, the links towards other stories that are at the bottom of the page are too cluttered and disinterests the reader.
           
The Boiling Point | www.shalhevetboilingpoint.com, Shalhevet High School, Los Angeles, CA;

This website has an ongoing color scheme of red and white that even shows in the pictures that they display, which is creative and well-tasted. Useful information regarding addresses and contact numbers are portrayed on the top of the screen, which is critical to users. The categorization of articles is useful and not too specific. Articles that this staff writes are also very edgy, such as Judaism and feminism.

The Tribal Tribune | www.wandotribaltribune.com, Wando High School, Mt. Pleasant, SC;


This website has a very dark color scheme and seems unlike any other type of news source. It seems to advertise less than most other websites, yet also seems less legitimate than other types of news websites due to its types of stories (videogames and nothing going beyond school)
