Use your workstation, or your chromebook, to find at least three different online publications highlighting African American history.

Look for elements that make the content engaging (visuals, interactive feature, tone, headlines, images, text formatting)
Take notes and capture screenshots of effective design elements.
Then create a section with the publication's name as the section title.
- Under each publication, create dynamic and interactive posts highlighting the elements you discovered, screenshots, links to the publications, and an analysis of your findings.

What your analysis should have:

You should be considering all of the elements we have discussed in class that make for a compelling design: visual design, content, audience relation, etc.

Visual Design - how do the colors, the layout, or the images capture the attention of the reader.
Content - what about the stories in the publication make it compelling to you or other readers.
Audience Relation - how does this publication or this article engage the audience?
