Visual Analysis

Our visual analysis of carleton.edu consisted of two parts.

First, we made an average cover of the website from 1996-2020 so that we could study how the layout of the website has changed over the years. We also wanted to study the content itself, not just the layout of it. So, for the second part, we made an image histogram of all of the images that have been featured on the front page since 1996. Our overarching goal for this visual analysis was to study what kind of choices Carleton has made in order to make a attractive website that appeals to prospective students.
