journal 6

http://tampatribune.com/





My paper relates the the visual content of the newspaper. The link above is connected to the newspaper back where I'm from. This website really shows how visuals and text interact. The first thing you see is a the bold headline and a picture. The site provides differnet tabs for each section of the newpaper. When you click one of the tabs, more articles are given to choose from. You can click on really anything to read more about the subject. Different colors are seen right away as you go onto the site. It is some what coded with major healdines in blue and less important articles in black. I think this is a clever technique used by Tampa Tribune to distinguish what the major topics are. The colors catch a reader's eye right when they view the page. Many websites use color and font size, like this one, to advertise and promote different things.
