Grids are an essential part to website designs, mostly because navigation is so key for effectiveness. While researching for this assignment I've noticed that a lot of websites follow a 3 column grid (and my example is no different). I stuck with something I see every day, my homepage. A snapshot of CNN.com is shown below.
As you can see, the website is pretty well organized, with a set color palette, and user friendly appeal. But a lot of it has to do with the grid organization of the website. The top of the left column showcases a major news story, and big headlines are followed beneath it. In the middle, there are 10-15 quick newsworthy lines and on the right end, stock info, videos, and polls are available for CNN.com's audience. Overall, I really like the design of this website. In fact, when I was picking which news site I wanted as my home, I picked CNN because of it's organization of information and accessibility.
