Chapter 12, Additional Case 2: Evaluating Graphics on a Website

Background

You are a student intern working for Marshall Brain on his website, www.howstuffworks.com. He has asked you to evaluate the effectiveness of the graphics on the site. Select one of the topics, such as "How Web Pages Work," and analyze Brain's use of graphics. Are there enough graphics to illustrate the topic? Are the graphics clear and informative? Are they well integrated with the text? What changes would you recommend?

Your Assignment

Write a memo to Marshall Brain presenting your conclusions and recommendations. If appropriate, attach copies of excerpts from the site. (See Chapter 14 for a discussion of memos.)
