Deconstruction 3 - Rolling Stone Website

This national magazine website has haloed me notice which conventions are regional and which are national. I love the layout of this website, specifically the way the masthead is centralized at the top of the homepage and how the navigation bar follows along the bottom. I also love how hovering over the navigation bar gives a drop box which allows for more stories following that header e.g Interviews would be filled with latest interviews and a hyperlink would allow readers to look at more interviews, I would love to incorporate something like this when creating my website but I believe this may be a challenge. I like how there is fixed features on the page such as the navigation bar and the breaking news column along the side of the page, these are also something I wish to incorporate when creating my website.
I love the minimal use of fonts so readers can establish what is important to read and what is not, this is something I will also add into my website.
Another feature I will incorporate is the use of hovering over an image to give a different effect followed by some text allowing readers to click on it taking them to another page. I will incorporate this as I feel it's unique and looks professional. I also like the search bar along the footer of the page so that the search bar is always present again creating easy navigation but it also looks good and gives the footer a little something extra use to it, I will utilise this feature in my website.
