What stood out to me about a lot of these websites, are they're statistic based websites. For a few of the websites, it goes in depth about multiple countries' position on global hunger, such as how many are without food and the percentages of that population. For statisticbrain.com they merely put up the most important statistics right on their front page rather than having multiples links that you have to click through. In my opinion I think that is the most effective way to really capture a viewer's attention, and then post tabs for how we can fight global hunger, and other links which go more in depth about the statistics shown.

http://www.state.gov/s/globalfoodsecurity/ was the best website I had come across. Once again they posted a really captivating entry right on their front page and had tabs going across the top, to mark important categories within the topic. The color blue was soothing and did not detract from the overall look of the page. In a few of the websites, colors were either very similar or off the charts and that in my opinion took away from the overall message and rhetoric of the sites.

I think my site will most resemble state.gov , their layout was simple and clean. I really enjoyed the photos they used of kids starving. It was a good use of pathos, and a tactic which I believe will really hold the viewers attention. In my website I might also post a few videos which rotate, much like yahoos front page. As a whole, the 5 websites I posted have many redeeming qualities and many which will be incorporated into my future website.
