1. foxnews.com I think their website is a little too cluttered, with too many news stories. I think they should take out the yellow highlighted watch live option and replace it with something more appealing. They use mostly blue and red text on their homepage which is not that easy to read. I think Fox News should scrap the blue and red story links, for bold black links. They should decrease the proximity of their news stories links and make their font bigger. The words “Fox News” could also be more prominent and centered, or have a header that moves with you down the website. These changes would provide a more slick and modern look. I think the website is intentionally lackluster and simple. If they were going to make some changes they would have already.
2. TMZ.com. I am a fan of TMZ's website which often goes through graphic and font changes, but has had the same basic layout for years and years. I believe that right now their layout looks better on their app than it translates on the computer. Their website unlike Fox News, has a slick modern view with great color contrast. I think TMZ’s main issue is that their website font is huge, when you read a headline it SEEMS LIKE THEY ARE YELLING AT YOU. If you want to find a particular story, you have to scroll down which may take awhile because their photos take up an immense amount of room. They could improve their site by decreasing their font size, and creating a non- intense vertical scroll look. This would improve the website overall by making it more accessible. However TMZ has had this layout for so long and I think it works for them, as obnoxious as it may be.
