HTML Sucking Hard and Goody Good

1. http://www.webpagesthatsuck.com/ I stumbled across this page and thought Angela you’d really enjoy the wit and the effort of sucking this page brings. Its so bad its good. But its an eyesore. This page is an oxymoron but totally really is a great example of crap design and html. First off the typeface and type used is ugly and hard to read and no effort in design. Its primal and boring. Poorly organized and columnized. Not easy to navigate or where to start. And the adds in each post totally distract you and just makes un unpleasant experience. Use of images is plain boring and low quality not appropriately compressed or design to cohesively go with the design or there lack of design for the site. 

2. http://www.dpgraph.com/ First of the name made me giggle I thought it was porn for mathematicians. Tee Hee. This site is ugly sensory overload. I don't know where to look. Its weird the html is so 1993 Aol profile. But yet they have moving and revolving 3d graphics that looks so 1993 too. This site its incredibly hard to navigate and can you believe they are trying to sell software for designing in 3D, 4D and 6D. The actual layout is all over the place. The middle of the page in a box and in basic html and just generic type.

This site is a great site because the layout is clear and easy to navigate. Lovely contrast and use of color. All images are sized correctly and really well prepared for the web. Strong use of typography and over all flow and connects with each other.

Clear layout and easy to navigate. Great use of typography and graphic design. From an advertisement perspective since they are trying to sell a service its very well done. It persuades the viewer to want think about purchasing this service.
