"navigation" is the right term. All those swirling images make me
seasick. When that sort of stuff shows up on screen I abandon the page
pretty quickly. I recently complained to CNN news about the background
of the Fareed Zakaria show. They often have the camera in motion either
zooming in or out and swinging side to side while at the same time giant
background screens display a bunch of swirling pap around the heads of
the guests. I found it so distracting that I couldn't concentrate on
the content of the show and had to switch to a competing network.
It seems to me that graphics are being used just because they can...
independent of whether it really adds anything to the presentation of
the real subject. For me it's a distinct negative.
