As already explained in an earlier post, for my Media project, I plan to create a global news website homepage. Some of the features on this website are the following:
It shall have a top navigation bar so make it simple for the user of the site to navigate. This bar shall be above the news stories on the page, and below the main header.
The website shall have white and light gray background colours, with black text. Mainly because the website will be designed to hold alot of written information for the user to see. This text must be easily visible, and plain colours such as black and white are best for this.
The site shall have a sidebar on the right, vertically down the page to advertise different aspects of the site, which helps the site to show off all it has to offer, and makes things easy to find for somebody who's in a rush.
Lastly, news articles shall be presented on the homepage, seperated out into table cells (with no borders), to help keep the site organised and tidy.
Good - as an interntational site, you need to make it accesible for different languages. Applied semiotics might make it easier for you to signal to foreign language users how they too can navigate the site... how could you incorporate this feature?
