How To Control Flow Within Your Web Designs - 2 views

  • Visual design has a flow as well. You have something to communicate and you want your audience to take in different parts of your page. Some elements of the design are more important and you want to make sure they’re seen right away, and some elements of the design are best seen after having first seen a different part of the design.
  • Design flow (also referred to as movement or direction) is the way the eye moves or is led through a composition
  • Repetition in color, shape, and size create a path that can pull you to move in a certain direction.

  • • Arrows – again it’s difficult not to visually follow the direction an arrow points• People/Faces looking in one direction – similar to arrows when we see a person facing or looking in a given direction, we tend to also look to see what they’re looking at.• Perspective – creates strong visual cues to follow. By it’s nature perspective creates a direction that begs to be followed. If all roads lead to Rome, you’re going to end up in Rome at some point
  • The large black circle in the upper left is the entry point into the painting. It’s the first thing you notice. It’s larger and darker than anything else on the page. It holds more visual weight than any other element in the painting.
  • Space can imply flow in a variety of ways. The space between elements creates paths of emptiness much like footpaths through a forest of garden. An element with visual weight calls for you to rest your eyes on it. Space gives you room to move around elements.

    I liked this article the best. It discuses flow within web designs and it covers all the basis for smooth flow for people that are trying to create their own web page. It covers what design flow is and gives an image example of how flow flows within a graphic design. The author states that it is important to create an entry point, "something that stands out from everything else so that most people look at it first". The author also gives advice on controling flow within a design by using arrows, people or faces that look in a certain direction, and perspective. Using space to control flow is something that I found interesting the author states that "varying the space between a series of elements can be used to create rhythm and motion".

    This website does a great job explaining the importance of flow in your design. It also gives great examples, mainly of we pages most of which are blogs. I thought this could help us improve our blogs also it is great for those of us who are visual learners to get the importance of flow by all the examples shown.

    This site includes several visuals to supplement the presented material on using flow in page design. The primary elements are most important and are intended to be seen first. Other elements are best viewed after the primary element. This hierarchy can be established through flow. An entry point is something that stands out from everything else so that the audience will look at it first. Obvious directional cues include arrows, people/faces looking in one direction, and perspective. Repetition and space can also be used to create flow.

    I found this website to be very helpful when it came to discussing flow and how to achieve that. Besides talking about using visual cues to guide the readers eyes, using space to control flow, and creating harmony using flow, it also gives examples of various websites that have demonstrated good flow of design.

NASA TV] Phoenix Mars Mission: Entry, Descent and Landing - 0 views

    I found the Introduction of Chapter 1 interesting. When you view this clip of the Phoenix Mars Mission and the Mission scope it makes you wonder about the mission failures that aren't publicly documented.

    I thought this was good info to reflect on figure 1.1 on page 6 of chapter 1. I thought the Pellet gun safety warnings were sub standard when considering gun safety in general.
