Scales Graphic Design Class

Go online and surf around, starting looking at websites. You need to find 2 Good Websites and 2 BAD Websites. Don't just pick the first 4 sites you go to. In a Word Document answer the following questions. You will present these websites to the class and explain your choices:

Describe the Good or Bad elements that led you to choose this site.
If Good, what makes you like this site, what about it appeals to you?
If Bad, what makes you NOT like this site, what elements of design does it break or not follow at all?
How long did it take you to make a decision about this site? Why?
Name the elements of design that are included in each site, for the bad sites, name the elements that they are blatantly breaking.
