website analysis- Hyper text

Hypertext

The layout of this website is as follows, two navigation bars, one down the side one across the top, the homepage also has the top shows for each category that is available, for instance cartoons, movies music sport, this makes it easier to get to your link especially if it is popular. Hypertext is the way in which we navigate around a page, we no longer go about it in a linear fashion, it encourages active engagement, the user is encouraged to contribute and to become produsers, which we will talk about a bit later. Every reader who looks at this page will navigate around it in very different ways, as there are so many different ways of accessing the different pages, not one person will do it in a linear fashion, as this is not an option. Also because there are often more that one link to a show, people have the option to choose a link that suits them the best, which backs up the idea of active engagement. The design of the homepage is al light blue colour, the connotations of this light blue could be that it is neutral, this could be due to the fact that this website could appeal to anybody of any ages, due to the age of links that it has available and therefore it would not want to be to garish so that older readers get put off because it would like it was appealing to a younger audience. The picture on the top left has the website address in an orange type colour with bold writing, the picture on top of that is a television which has the same colour antennae as the writing below which anchors the text to the picture. The picture also acts as a hyperlink to bring you back to the homepage, which I believe is a good technique to use because it an easy symbol to associate with and is big enough and noticeable enough for people to realize that this is its function.
