Design

Meograph is a website set up to be visually appealing. Because the service offered is a video editing type program, it would only make sense that there is little text involved with the website.

Most of the text that is seen within the website has some soft of visual element established with it. There is a large chart on the home page which is shown below. This is where a majority of the text for the webpage is believe it or not. Other elements of text are also encased by animated boxes, closed off by pictures, or laid overtop of interactive elements such as video examples.

The website contains, in some aspect, all five modes of communication.

Linguistic: Because the website does contain text, whereas little compared to most websites, it is still a form of the linguistic mode

Visual: Probably the most prevalent of the five modes, every aspect of the website includes visual elements. This is the main mode in that the website is set up visually attract users and then retain them.

Spatial: The spatial mode is seen throughout the website, with emphasis being shown on the front page. The width of the website is obvious, however the website creator(s) have done a great job with splitting up different “sections” if you will of the home page as you scroll down. An example of this can be seen below.

Gestural: This mode is very short and too the point, there are pictures of people, those people are making faces, thus the gestural mode is awarded.

Aural: Another very simple and easily found mode, aural is only seen in the videos. Each video has some sort of sound, most with a voice-over and subsequent youtube clip, but sound is with the video none-the-less.
