This is a great example of a bad interface design. It really has too much going on, there's too many links all with contrasting colours and labelling that jump out at you all at once. There's no consistency in the design - nothing goes together; such as colours and font. All the language is in English with no links to translating into other European languages. All the images used are too small to really see. Also the side menu bar is illustrated with only pictures and no labelling so that the user can't really tell where they're exactly linking to. The use of typography is also suffering. There's a lot of different fonts being used, that once again adds to it being more confusing - once again you're not sure where to look. This site hasn't really got an effective use of layout and all its users must be a target audience of people who watch the news and are interested in politics - however I don't see it getting many hits.
Another bad example of a web interface. The usability of this website fails :) Although you can make your way around it, which is hard since the contrasting colours almost blind you and cause you to squint. The menu bar is a good example of the websites usability failing. It is covered in different coloured fonts and buttons which don't match; making it hard for you to know what you want to link to. The entire design of the website consists of bad colour choice (too contrasting and not complimenting), too many fonts and a bad choice in moving graphics and pointing hands to show you where you're supposed to be reading (which doesn't help).
This is far too over the top - if it's not the ridiculous background, it must be the obscene amount of exclamation marks used. The usability of this website is practically non existent; you're not quite sure what's a link and what's just Yvette shouting at you to buy tuxedos. This is because the colours are so outstanding and contrasting, you're not quite sure if they're a button to a different link. Also further down the site when you come to what looks like the menu the text is coloured black on the confusing background - making the text too hard to see and it's almost unnoticeable. The images on the page of the actual store and products are all too blurry to actually make out - which can't be selling her products very well if the customer can't see them. The typography is also bad - too many used of fonts which is far too distracting.
