Sorry about my lack of posts, have been trying to get caught up with everything and it's a pain. Here's a word of advice, don't get sick! But in all seriousness, I should be caught up soon.
Sara had quite a few questions, and my responses are as follows:
Wow, that's a plethora of questions. Let's just answer a few, shall we? In response to taller books being children's books, no I do not find it ironic. Why, you ask? Because children's books generally have large pictures and because of that, they need to be bigger. I know, i know, you said because of the size of our hands... Yeah I don't really think that has anything to do with it.
News Sites using bold colors and flashy graphics is their attempt at attracting more visitors. I think that news sites, while they mostly try to be serious, without anything to grab someones attention, they will unlikely click on many links and read the articles, thus the site loses out on revenue from ads.
Personally I don't expect texts to be visually appealing, I expect them to have words, and have a font that is easy to read. I find when pictures are present that I tend to ignore what is being said and just look at the pictures and their captions, basically trying to absorb all my information from that as opposed to reading the entirety of the page. With that said, however, I do tend to read the page if that sort of thing is very interesting to me.
