I like this resource because it takes a lot of the ideas we have already looked at and approaches them from a composition & layout perspective. We have seen what each is and what they do; this provides some depth into what each can do/does for the composition of a text. (10/5/13)

This is a gentalman showing the importance of layout in a graphic design.

BALANCE. This website expands more on how one can achieve balance in a layout, specifically with symmetrical and asymmetrical balancing. It also provides examples of each balancing act to highlight the methods described in the website.

This is about how to create repetition in web layout and principles a person should use like alignment.

I wanted to find another site with a more in depth explanation and found one with totally new elements that can be used to improve layout and design. Most of these examples I have never heard of besides focal point and grid design, but you can never know too many new ways in order to improve your delivery, right?

I wanted to know more about the use of grids and how often they are used in design so I found this website that helps designers with possible grid layouts. There is so much here to see and process that the website itself is set on a grid like design.

Here is another tutorial on layout and graphic design.

I thought this was an interesting you tube video about how to organize and layout a project effectively.

Another great Design Layout and emphasis page. specifically for it's use of original examples although the commentary is a bit lacking

Chapter 1 Push #2 from Becca Bingham

breaksdown symmetry into subcatorgories

Balance is concerned with the distribution of visual interest -- what is where in a composition. << This source gives further understanding for balance and shows how symmetry is related to it. 

Another article with more details and a more clear layout to understand different sections of balance within design.

I found this video helpful because I didn't realize there were different websites you could go to to get page layouts. It is a nice tutorial and very simple to follow.

CHAPTER 5:ALIGNMENT I liked this website because it shows how alignment is used in web page layouts which i think would be very helpful in this class and in this digital age

This is a really simple, yet effective, example of how repeating layouts, fonts, and colors throughout a web page can be beneficial to organization and flow.

This is a webpage about flow from a digital scrapbook creator. This is some good information because she provides a simplistic definition of flow and states some good ways of how to accomplish flow.

I like this page because although it describes flow in scrap booking, I think we can apply this to web layout or our blogs. She explains visual flow very nicely and even explains how to create flow.

A website dedicated to design elements.

Repeating in writing is not a good nor effective idea. Repetition in designs always the best way to design.

Detailed website improvement

In Chapter one of the text, the topic of raster versus vector images is touched upon. I chose this website because it dives a little further into the topic of which type of image you should use. This site is helpful because it is very clear that you should use vector images for logos and illustrations and raster images should be used for digital graphics and digital photography. Knowing when to use each type of imaging is critical when beginning a project.
