This website has a 3 grid design but the middle column is wider than the other two. I think this organizes the page well.

I think CNN is a great example of a grid - a very sophisticated look. The beginning is a 3 grid and as you scroll it transfers to a 4 grid. They really make the most of the white space and keep it very organized with a justified text.

To me, this is a BAD example of alignment - but I'm book marking it just to explain why. It's the New York Times website and I feel like it should be super organized and easy to navigate through. There is a "grid" but as you scroll down the site, the grid changes like 3 times and it is not aesthetically pleasing at all. It's all justified text but the alignment is off.

Moviefone is another example of balance, the logo "Moviefone" is large and tilted - making it what your eye is drawn to. But, the menu is to the left (the site has an asymmetrical balance). But somehow the asymmetrical idea of this website totally works and is visually pleasing.

I think this site shows balance because of its asymmetrical elements. The logo and title is to the right and the menu is to the left, but not equal. The display of the product is symmetrical right through the center. It's an example of the "focus achieving a harmonious balance."

I think this website displays balance because of the visual weight of the headline. It's definitely a good choice for the site, the title and what they want people to remember is large and bold "LetsSingIt" and underneath in a much smaller, italic font it reads "your favorite music community" - it has less visual weight. 

This website reminds me of chapter 3 because the title of the site is epicurous, and they describe what "epicurious" means right next to it in a smaller, different color font. This is like an "afterthought" - as the book says on page 54.

I think this site shows good contrast in the title too, because they're emphasizing COOKING in Cooking Channel and that word is bigger and bolder. Also, underneath the title there are a few examples. "Labor Day Summer Feast" - labor day is a different color and bolder than summer feast, drawing the readers eye to a labor day recipe.

The title of this website definitely has great contrast. It emphasizes STREETSTYLE rather than "Stockholm." I think this is a great example of the "all or nothing" example they give in the chapter. The fonts are different sizes, widths and colors. And it's emphasizing what the website is truly about, street style.

This website is an online writing lab for a credible company, the Washington State Board. You can submit a rough draft, etc.

This website has good tips on business writing, it reminds me of chapter one because it says "know your audience, verbalize the desired action, " etc.

This website seems helpful because you can choose whichever project you need to work on and it helps with grammar and outlines.

I think this is an example of emphasis because it's super easy to read, very organized and each step is the same font size, color and evenly next to each other. The title "easy canvas prints" - "easy" is emphasized, as it should be, to a different background color and scripted font. 

This is an example of emphasis from chapter two because it's easy to read and to the point, a very organized resume. There is emphasis on her professional experience.

This seems like an example of emphasis because of the big writing and promoting, it's bright and easy to read. Everything is also centered and has a bunch of "alluring" images.
