Site #1. www.burton.com
In keeping with snowboard style, this site starts off in a completely original way - with a "handwritten note on a crumpled piece of paper" on the extreme left of the page. Then, there is nothing at all on the rest of the page.
The next page (you do not have a choice) is again asymmetrical, color on the left in the form of torn duct tape looking backgrounds for links, with white background throughout the page. Probably the coolest looking graphic is a picture that is given depth by making it appear stacked haphazardly on top of other polaroids The same logo appears on each page in different colors and sizes, but the format on each page changes dramatically from page to page. All colors appear to be a white or a muted/soft grey.

Site #2. www.kingsdominion.com
This site carries the same color schemes throughout. It follows a crystallographic balance, for there are pictures of the various rides 'coming through' a transparent blue, and then there are other focal points designed to catch your eye. The logo, park name, and colors are everpresent, regardless of which page you are on.

Site #3. www.att.com
Balanced symmetrically. There is a logo at the top left and an add of similar size at the top right. Then there are four subsections with pictures that fit the section (i.e. there is a picture of a mother and daughter for 'consumers' and a person on a bike for 'wireless'). This is interesting because the bottoms of the pictures have a wave-like cut, to keep your attention. Then the page is split into three columns - skinny in the middle, and equal on the sides. As you link to other pages, the format is similar, using like colors, fonts, logo, etc., but the columns are now thin on the sides and wider in the middle, allowing for more text based information.
