The Denver Post
This could be one of the most disorganized, poorly designed interactive narratives concerning the VA Tech shooting. The Denver Post seems to have rushed this website as their is very little concern for layout or design. Furthermore, it offers nothing new. This is the same old crap that everyone else is putting up (with the exception of the interesting 3D time line of the NY Times). However, there is a somewhat provocative message board at the very bottom. Overall, though, the most unappealing aspect of this site is the fact that much of the information is lost in a jumbled array of words and blue-highlighted links. There is this list of things to watch, listen to or read on the left-hand side. Then the same stuff is offered on the opposite side, only it is marked by actual pictures rather than just words. Finally, there is the informative newsworthy text being construed and wrapped around the two boxes of information that simply reiterates the information that could be read if it were not buried by poor design. Again, nothing new, but poorly designed and difficult to navigate due to a lack of care concerning organization.
