The website related to my issue that I visited was globalissues.org at http://www.globalissues.org/issue/67/nuclear-weapons. Its color scheme was mainly white and a very dark gray with some light blue highlights and some red text. The title bar at the top of the page has a linear gradient that takes it from the light blue of the title to the white that dominates the article. Sections of text have red titles, which may be intended to warn of the seriousness of the topic.

Depth is shown any time the author quotes a source, as the quote is placed in a box that casts a slight shadow on the white background. It also turns up in the buttons at the top of the page, which feature text with a slight drop shadow. Hovering over the button will darken it so that it looks as if it has been pushed in.

Almost all of the relevant information can be found in one column so it’s pretty much impossible for the user to get lost. Links to all of the page’s sub-sections are provided at the top so you can jump right to what you want to read. Three of the article’s section’s apparently got too big and were given their own pages, so there is a break in the middle of the article that’s basically half a page of nothing. This edit probably could have been handled better.

As far as navigation is concerned my website will be largely similar except the column will scroll horizontally to make it into a timeline. My website design will be simple but I will try to make it more relevant to the subject material by using colors that suggest a nuclear wasteland environment. It is my hope that the animation first seen when you enter the page will help this website stand out.
