MTV is a good website, excelling in areas where average users (teens) would normally look for, hence the slack in history\about page.

Zookyork is also a good website. It’s clean, polished and really hip. Everything is nice and organized, therefore everything can be found really easily.
ULTRALITE
The theme that I chose for this blog is called Ultralite, a minimalist design. It’s simple, clean and very organized. Ultralite has nice clear fonts that captures the attention of not only teens but also adults, one factor that made me choose it. This theme is versatile in color, however i stuck with the orange since I think it works best with such a simple design like this. Another feature I really like are the sidebar links. The neatly spaced links might seem boring at first but when you drive your cursor over it, it opens a nice icon corresponding to each kind. For example, when you go over the twitter link it sets off a blue box and the logo of twitter (nice feature! and also very amusing). Overall I think this simple design is very versatile, in-style, and easy to use, making it a very well rounded web design.
