Nifty CNN

Finally, a news site that isn't cluttered. Am I dreaming? CNN has just recently found a way to make their site more attractive. With a new nav bar and new fancy layout, CNN has transformed to the top of my list for news sites with good layouts. The navbar is clear and bold and directly calls for your attention. Everything about this new layout I liked. It is very spacious and makes it easy to navigate to where you want to get to.\
All the div boxes are nicely separated and equal in size, making it proportional and giving it a nice look to the bottom of the site where a lot of information is being stored. There isn't a million pictures and videos anymore that take up the loading space for the homepage. Instead there are two bold pictures that fit perfectly in the main content. Nicely done by CNN's new graphic designer!

  1. I agree with your admiration of CNN's streamlined design and easily accessible navbar. The new site is overall more attractive and better laid out than the previous one. I also like the manner in which CNN.com chose to break up news segments by boxes in the bottom half of the page.

  2. I agree with you. The new version is very spacious and you can see everything clearly. However I do wish the topics' headlines wouldnt be all squished up at the bottom...

  3. The new verison is not spacious, but they make better use of the space over the last one. Yet, for some reason it seems like this somewhat diminishes as you get to the bottom of the page. The top half seems better planned out and attractive than the bottom half
