Web design

Although not to do with our chosen specialism of language, I believe this is an interesting finding in our research.
Barack Obama's Official Website

The British National Party's Official Website

Its obvious how similar the layout and graphic style of the two websites are. This suggests that the BNP support Obama's presidency and his policies on immigration. However, the video below would strongly suggest not:


But if the BNP are opposed to Obama, then why the graphical tribute on their website?




So by aligning themselves graphically with Obama, they hope to feed off his success, whilst being politically opposed to his policies. I believe this shows a distinct lack of professionalism in the graphic design of the BNP and of the BNP itself.
