pictures and texts on the web

For this assignment I used the barnes and noble homepage. Here there are a lot of examples apply to the text. First of all there is a balance to the webpage. In the middle there is all the text and pictures. On either side you will find an even amount of green space. What is on one side is on the other. There is also balance in the text. In the middle there are 4 topics that are posted in rows of two. Each column has two topics and the subtext is also equal. There is also emphasis on this website. This goes with the balance of the green panels. These plain sides give way to focus on the important text the website wants you to focus on. Plus, things like new books or sales are given more space and large lettering. This makes your eyes focus on the spot they want you to see. Also like mentioned above their are columns are broken into topics. This is a means of classification. They are classify the types of books available on the side of the website. Description is also given. On the page there are a few pictures of books covers. But that is not enough to sell the reader on the book. On the side it gives the name, author, price and the option to read more about the plot of the story.
