Me, Tim, Illy and Sei-Kai are quite interested in creating our own website for this project, so we decided to research into different news websites to get some ideas.
I decided to look at the BBC and Kent Online.
http://www.bbc.co.uk/news/
The BBC have their own colour scheme, which is red. On the left hand side they have main/current stories on the front page and as you go down the page, other stories can be found. Under the main news stories, there are thumbnails of video's from other stories that are not as current. As you go further down the page there are sections where you can find particular news pieces, such as politics, health, education, etc. On the right hand side, there are links to feature stories as well as what stories have been the most watched, shared, etc.

Kent online has a white background, with a yellow logo, that has a horse on it. The white horse is significant due to it being the symbol of Kent. Unlike the BBC, Kent Online has three columns, on the left column there are major stories, in the middle there are feature stories and on the right there are adverts as well as most read and most commented stories. Underneath the three columns, there are pictures that link onto other news stories. As you go down there is a section called KMTV which is the Kent Messenger television stories. Further down there are sections on sport, business, whats on, etc. so that you can go onto a particular section.
By looking at these news websites, it has given us some ideas on how we will design our website. We will be definitely including our logo at the top of the page, and will have the background combined with our nature colour schemes, such as green and brown. Story wise we will have our main story on the front page, and will then have thumbnails underneath to the events, mentioned in our news piece. Tim will be creating the website for our news channel.
