Media Diary Post

I have just finished the work I have done on web conventions. I looked in to why conventions are useful and I also found my own examples of web conventions and examples of people breaking the conventions.

An example of a web site which bends the conventions of web design is river islands clothing web site as the navigation bar is above the name of the shop. This is very unusual however, the navigation bar is still at the top of the page which is why the convention has not been broken. Little details such as this is what makes a web site different to others, I could use this idea when I come to create my own web site as it will then look individual and will show that web sites can look good even though a convention has been broken.

I understand web conventions really well now and when I go onto different web site I analyse what conventions the creator has broken or followed which is really interesting to know.
