How an AD can ruin design
Written by moe on January 27, 2010
Should design and good user interface be sacrificed for optimal ad viewing? Not in my opinion. CNN, compared to other big news media, has a pretty good site design. However, their new pulse page is ruined by horrible ad placement. In a way the design was successful, because I noticed the ad. However, I noticed it like a teenager notices a pimple on their face. I was disgusted, confused and worried it may leave a scar. I'm seeing this more and more online, and it's getting more and more annoying. Insert Seth Godin quotes here.
