#3 has the worst layout possible out of the three.
#2 is well organized but the typography is to clutter.

NOTES
•#1 and #3 are the two with the most information they seen to be what we can call the main source for one article like #2 that is relatively short.
•#3 seems to be the must organized in content very clean and keeps a standard.
• #1 is not as steady as #3 but it is organized and also has related articles links.
• #2 is too crowded with ads the content we would like see first is not above the fold instead we get ads.

Article Summary:

now with the google art project people can see museum art piece up close without getting into trouble. the google art project is virtual museum online and the images have an incredible resolution, so people can zoom then as much as they want. 

Relevance to the Class:

as web architect we concern about 'UX', 'UI', these are two things that google is changing with this project, the way we interact with pieces that are held in a museum gallery.

Key Quote:

"44 museums in the project each chose a work to be photographed in extreme detail with super high-resolution, or "gigapixel," photo-capturing technology. These images comprise nearly 7 billion pixels, so you can get closer on these pieces than you ever could in person and see details, such as brushwork and patina, you wouldn't otherwise be able to see unassisted."

Notes:
•#1 is very organized in terms o conetnt
• #2 is the leat organized, in my point of view since it places other elements inside the article that pushes the content that readers want.
•#3 is very organized and clean a very nice article to read.
•an appealing element used in #1 and #3 is the used of images the way they used them, unlike in #2 that seems out of place.

As web architects we have to keep update to new tech related to web. And this topic in specifics relates to important topics in the field and it uses key words like "developer tools, layout, css".

"After selecting 3D View in Page Inspector, just hover your mouse over the elements to get more information about each piece you select."

iPad 3: Guardian readers' predictions March 7, 2012 http://www.guardian.co.uk/technology/2012/mar/07/apple-ipad-3-guardian-readers
• first thing is I see that all the articles have basically the same information but they might have change some stuff in it. Another difference is the way the are presented in each one of the articles it varies from one to another in prensentation and organization #3 has the best presentable article.
• Information: all them go to the point wich is good for the reader who just want to know the important things.
• all the article mention how Apple want to stay on top of the tablet market with the new Ipad.
• #2 has something that might bother some reader is the use of all these images as related content is kind distracting for the reader.
• one thing that I see in all of the sites is that they have that related content bar.
• #1 is the worst when it comes to organization is has content pushing other content.
