Axioms of Web Design

IGN

In the bottom portion of the screen they have placed the words "GAME NEWSLETTER" to clearly illustrate, if you couldn't tell from the art, IGN is a game news website. We see a strong grid through out their site. They are very focused, and their site is easy to navigate. The lines dividing the stories suggests that you can scroll down and continue looking at more content. The site is easy to understand and clearly illustrates its purpose.The moment you come to the site, a large majority of people would know what the site is about without having to click elsewhere. We see the greatest contrast right from the start. During the loading process, the full white background has contrasting sections of the grid emerge in darker shades. Overall I feel their webpage is not complicated or busy. It looks good and that is because it is simple.


IGN reports on all the same stuff but uses original art created by themselves. The sight is navigated at the top left portion of the screen where the IGN is surrounded by a fill of red and you see the word browse in small letters.


They have converted the site to a variety of aspect ratios I show you the iphone 5's display of the same site.


Gamespot:
The Lower Right?
Continuity?
Intuitiveness?
Affordance?
Greatest Contrast?
Good Looking means Easy?
