This is the design I did for the midterm. I wanted to design my home page to look like the Sun-Times with the blue but I also chose that color because blue is the color of the sky and even though my web page is about commuting, that essentially means travel. There are also travel ads on there, which I put, in order to "get away" from the daily commute. I wanted to make it look as real as possible, so I added the links for Facebook, Twitter, Yahoo!Mail, Blogspot and Google, though the links don't really work! My main story takes up most of the page, with the three toned pictures and their captions surrounding them. To the right, I have another major timely story with another picture I borrowed from the internet. I have two teasers under my main story that can be read further if you clicked the "see more" link. I borrowed the two travel ads from applevacations.com and funjetvacations.com. My logo is blue, matching with the color scheme, and it resembles different roads to me, which is why I chose this logo. I think it fits well with the design overall.
I liked how you added the social networking buttons, along with the weather feature. My only suggestion would be to use different colors for the site's title and story titles. Maybe try putting the titles in white? Good job overall though.
