Week 1 - Looking at newspapers.

What i learnt in class today was that newspapers have a very successful way of making people read them. They use dramatic heirachy and common basic reading for the way they set up the print.

the use of pictures and large text i noticed that caught my eye the most.

When looking at the website, Stuff and the dom post i discovered that they don't use any of this in their pages. which is kinda disappointing. 

Use Journeying Stuff.

So I asked a few people to user journey stuff for me.

I asked to find articles from the current paper and then try find them online.

Most of the time people tried to use the search first with either the direct copy of the headline, or a version off it. A majority of the time the articles could not be found. One instance was we did find one about Obama that was in the paper was written the same day, but was a different text in the article. Soo i presumed a majority of papers have different writers (but that could be a naive assumption)

Next people would find the relevant tab that it would under e.g. World or politics for obama. On the stuff website the subsection of the sections are kinda shit, they change all the time to whatever is popular at the time. for an example the American presidency election has it own tab.

The other way people looked was looking under the Dom post link on the website but only a few storeys from the newspaper where on there.

LAST research was the internet search but that a whole other kettle of fish.

Wire framing other websites.

So I looked at a few other news websites both New Zealand ones and international. Some websites i found quite good others average.

the msn news website was the only one i wire framed on the computer, i don't usually use this website but i found it way to compact and that the for the first glimpse of the website they are trying to jam storeys and news down our throats.

I noticed each website is pretty much got a basic idea of having stores the dominant item. I get why, but then its intermingled with humongous adverts. Personally i don't like that, but they need the adverts money to actually keep the website going.

I did notice on stuff one that they had the whole entire background as an add, it felt super distracting and nauseating so, they idea of a good website would be promote yourself big then have minimal adds so people can get the content they want.
