A media convention is widely acknowledged as the ‘way to do things’, such as in a newspaper: the name, date and price are all situated at the top and the sports page is on the back, because those are the unofficial rules which everyone complies to. They are useful because if everyone designs their newspaper in the same way, the audience will know where everything is and doesn’t have to learn a whole new layout again and again. Convention guidelines are generally followed to make navigation and designing easier.
Here are 3 websites which break usual conventions- they all have one large, main picture in the centre with interactive links and photos moving around the page. The navigation links are all situiated somewhere differently- either at the top, in the centre, or at the bottom. Their pallette is also wide ranged, with many different colours used on each site. I like these websites more than a regular design, because they are artistic, and you know hard work has been put in to create them.
