This site has great visual ad examples to show and demonstrate coordination of color and shapes that help the flow of design deliver easy to read messages. Color and lines are exemplary here.
I found this web page to be very resourceful. I'm always looking for visual examples and this website had all great examples using real life web pages. It points out exactly what is "flowing" in the design. It gave me great ideas on how to use flow with images and even shapes.
This is my favorite of the websites that helped supplement my understanding because it not only explains flow and visual movement but shows examples and each aspect of the example that demonstrates flow. This helps me see exactly how flow can be used, and in all types of different ways.
I bookmarked this website because it really supplemented some of the techniques described in Basics of Design. This website shows great examples of how to manipulate viewers path. The advertisements near the bottom of the page show how to create a visual path for someone with out using a human body.
This article is about visual flow in web design. It acknowledges the differences between flow on the web and flow on fine art. The article provides numerous examples of how visual flow is used on the web.
The book describes on page 56 that there are a variety of contrast techniques. Color is a noticeable contrast but we learn that this is only part of many methods. This site gives a variety of different techniques like color, size, shape, and position.
This was my favorite page found on my search for content related to chapter three of basics of design. This site gives a great outline of what the design principle contrast is and how to properly use it in page design. It describes and shows examples of positional, shape, color, and size contrast. This was a wonderful site that supported and reinforced examples right out of the book. I really loved the great and creative sites that it had in it's examples and I felt inspired to aim for design of that quality.
Summary:
Contrast is usually kept simple, like color for the beginners but there are other elements to consider when it comes to contrast in any design. The first thing that most of learn in color contrast and the obvious of color is the white and black which is okay but there are other ways to use color to grab attention as the examples under color with explain. Next to color that grabs attention is size, the bigger the better as the writer explains because it shows that something is important and will draw the read to read the rest. Then we have shape contrast which gives a different feel to make other things notable cause no one likes to see a plain and boring design. Finally there is positional contrast that makes hierarchy standout by using different alignments. I found this website to the be the best because it touch on everything in the reading and gave examples to show what is meant on each topic.
Here is an article from the Webdesigners Depot. It explains various types of contrast (color, shape, size, etc.) and gives real life examples from various webpages across the internet.

Design Meltdown has yet another great explanation of design principles, this time for the principle of flow. The explanation incorporates great visual examples.
This website usually has my favorite design principle explanations. I just discovered the person who wrote them used the Basics of Design textbooks as their jumping off point for wrting them.
This site gives a brief explanation of flow and what it is used for. It also tells which principles are helped out by flow. the site also gives some samples into how some websites use flow.
This website does a good job at explaining exactly what flow is. What I like about it is that it provides example of different website and the kind of flow that they have. The arrow that the webpage author draws on the example to show the flow is very useful!
This page give multiple page layout examples and then superimposes over them to show the flow of the layout. It also discusses the different flow of each example to help us understand how it works
talks about flow as a simple design principle and how it is often a result of contrast and emphasis. page also gives examples of pages and uses a blue arrow to demonstrate the path or flow of the page, just showing different ways pages and be perceived or organized
This page explains contrast and its importance when creating visual interest. It discusses examples of contrast in web page design and how contrast in color, size, and alignment can be achieved.
I found this website to be packed with great information! It not only explained the different techniques used in contrast, but it lists various websites where they had applied it. They link it to the website too so when you click on it, you go to their website. At the very bottom of the website you also get more resources to other free weblayout designs and how to become a better blogger. I thought this was a great website!
This is a very good site because it explains contrast as it pertains to color, alignment and size. There are also pictures of ads that go with each description-very professionally done.
I really liked this page, it went into detail explaining the principle of contrast and why it is important in your work. The page also shows many different web page examples that I think would be very beneficial for all of us taking this class.
This very informative blog shows readers several awesome examples of contrast. The images displayed very clearly highlight the use of contrast and are great for beginners in design to see. The end of the blog post says to "Remember that contrast is all about differences. If two elements are very different in nature, be sure to make their visual differences very obvious."
This website offers tips for using contrast in web design. The author focuses on three aspects of contrast: color, size, and alignment. He presents some excellent examples of each. Color, for instance, is used in example to differentiate the header, content, and footer sections of the sample webpage. Size can be used to separate elements when the color scheme is limited. This author comments that alignment can be tricky, especially when using multiple alignments. Centering a large paragraph is a "big typography no-no." However, centering a heading and then left-aligning the content paragraphs can work.
Here is another article about contrast in web design from WDL. This article is much like the first I shared as it uses various webpages as examples to illustrate the various types of contrast.
This is a great website that highlights the different aspects of contrast, including alignment, color, and size. It also gives examples of how each of these are used.
This webpage is all about Contrast and how to use it effectively. Opacity and the choosing of correct colors goes a long way to show off the page in a professional manner.
This site is great for my understanding of contrast because it gives simple examples, so you can see exactly how important contrast is. It talks about contrast in terms of color and value, opacity, and placement.
I really like the examples in this site talking about contrast. I like the fact that they mention making it grayscale and seeing how it looks that way. What a good way to tell if it is going to be too much or too little contrast and will it be readable!
I liked this website best because it illustrates the grid method explained in chapter 5. Also it notes that most designers forget about alignment as a design concept which I related to given my first draft of project 1 had no alignment concepts what so ever.
adds to the organization and usability of a web page
This page is more of a resource than an example of aligntment. The examples that Kayla(the author) shows looks like good examples however the resolution they were posted in makes it blurry and hard to judge. Kayla however breaks down in a few brief paragraphs how effective and important alignment is within an article, or project. One aspect that she hits on that makes a lot of sense to me is the images in alignment and how they can also be placed into alignment even though it is a photo. There is a lot more that goes into alignment that first expected.
This page goes into great detail about the importance of alignment, especially in web design. It also has many examples of alignment in different pages for you to see the effects.
This site gives some interesting views on alignment and some examples that I'm not sure I like. In saying that though I really do like some of the notes for instance, that there are many points to align to on a layout. It also is much nicer to use color contrast and other features along with the alignment.
This website is very helpful when it comes to explaining alignment. Even if you have other good elements going around your picture/website, it might look cluttered and there can be a bad use of alignment. This website gives you examples of how to use proper alignment in pictures and on a layout by using the lines, shapes, and contrasting colors.
Repetition is a great technique that goes along well with balance. It helps create more visual effects to catch the eye. Here we learn that images and text need uniformity and repetition.
repetition
Design elements can be photographs, illustrations, type, headlines, backgrounds and textures (and anything else you might like to add to your design)
visual harmony is the agreement or balance between design elements.
Two or more identical, or near identical elements are not only an expression of visual agreement, but the repetition also helps to catch and draw the eye into your design.
This was my favorite of the different sites that I found on the topic of repetition. I thought that this site very closely followed what the Basic's of Design taught on the subject. The site gave a background of what repetition is and why it is important. It also gave great examples of different forms of repetition such as; repetition of a image/icon, border, or decoration. It really helped me understand why repetition is such a key component in design!
This is my favorite of the website I found that helped supplement my understanding for several reasons. I think the examples are great. Not only that it is very similar to the book in that it talks about repeating visual elements such as images, lines, even typefaces. The series of books are a perfect example because they show you can use repetition without being identical, as long as it is conceptual related.
This website explains the many routes that repetition can take in design. There are so many ways that a designer can place repetition but the overall concept is to make it in a way that it will look organized and strong. This will appeal to the audience and make it so they will continue to read it.
This web page does a good job discussing repetition and giving some examples. The site gives a couple of examples and goes into detail as to why those examples are shown, obvious repetition and no so obvious are discussed.
Repetition can come in many shapes and forms. They can come in color, lines, fonts and imagery. This website shows you through several examples of how to fit repetition into your own designs.
Here is an article about repetition in web design. This article utilizes screenshots of various web pages and analyzes how repetition was used and what effects it has on the overall feel of each page.
Repetition focuses on how elements of a design are used more than once throughout a design in varying ways. By using repetition a design becomes far more unified. This site contains 4 examples of sites that use repetition.
Asymmetrical
balance occurs when several smaller items on one side are
balanced by a large item on the other side, or smaller items
are placed further away from the center of the screen than
larger items. One darker item may need to be balanced by
several lighter items.
Smaller
areas with interesting textures (variegated light
and dark, or random
Value
refers to the darkness or lightness of objects.
Large
flat areas without much detail can be balanced by
smaller irregularly shaped objects
Visual balance works in much
the same way. It can be affected not only by the size of
objects, but also their value (ie. lightness or darkness,
termed visual weight).
his is a very
tricky type of asymmetrical balance that often ends
up looking out of balance.
The
third type of balance is radial balance, where all elements
radiate out from a center point in a circular fashion. It is
very easy to maintain a focal point in radial balance, since
all the elements lead your eye toward the
center.
This website is a good example of balance because is shows diverse variations of balances;(Symmetrical (Formal) Balance
Asymmetrical (Informal) Balance Radial Balance ). Which gives the person reading a better understanding of the term balance .
D#4, HW#1-
I really enjoyed this website for many different reasons. Most importantly, I liked it because it told you more than just what balance is and how it is used. It described why this happens by the color being drawn in your eyes and gives examples about darkness/lightness in black and white. It shares information with the book and shoes other examples how your eyes are brought to specific areas on a page.
I like this article because it clearly describes the difference between symmetrical and asymmetrical balance. It also discusses how colors, shapes, and textures can be used to create balance.
This website explains the main concepts of balance. In showing the distinction between symmetrical and an asymmetrical layout, this website acts as a basic guide.Visual examples are shown for a better prospective,This is my favorite site out of the 3 bookmarked.
This is the best out of the three that i found this week because it gives very good examples of formal and informal balance. It really helped me understand the design principle better.
Visual weight is the illusion of a visual element on the page, work, etc. The size, color and texture contribute to the weight. This theory gives more of a balance design in terms of art. Visual balance works by the size of objects and by their value. Symmetrically balanced is where visual elements are mirrored and are symmetrical. The don't have to be identical but they have to be similar in terms of number of objects.
This website was very useful! It provided a description of not only two, but three different kinds of balance. I like that radial balance was the third kind that was briefly mentioned but it was not in our textbook.
This website went over everything that was in this weeks reading and it was more in a condensed version on my opinion. Why i really liked this website than the other two i bookmarked, this one gave really good examples of the type of balance that was being discussed and also made it easier to understand.
Summary:
This website goes over the principle of design for balance touching on the topic of symmetrical balance which is basically what ever is done one side of a design you do on the other side, copy cat. Then it goes on to tell about asymmetrical balance win color, value, shape, position, texture, and eye direction.
This site explains that when something is symmetrical is has formal balance and when it is asymmetrical it has informal balance. Balance can become either balanced or unbalanced by color, value, shape, position, texture, or eye direction.
This website gives us 25 cool ways to put emphasis in our blogs. It also leads you to a link where Patrick (author) wrote an article on developing emphasis in web design.
Here is an article on emphasis used in webdesign. It has 25 different examples of emphasis used in various webpages and it explains how it is used in each example as well. If you are into web design its a pretty interesting article.
I really liked the various examples they put on simplifying a phrase for the reader. It helps to see the different ways to state practically the same thing. This will come in handy when i'm writing my instructions.
I really like this article because it gives you helpful hints on how to write instructions. It gives you examples of how to clearly write instructions as well as bad examples on how to explain something.
This webpage is very helpful because it uses examples throughout the article and gives tips about each detail that clear instructions need. I also thought that the paragraph about layout at the bottom of the article was very informative and something that I will keep in mind when creating my own how-to instructions.
This is a great site to reference because there are real videos to check out as examples. The first one includes links to other short videos that are a part of this persons video resume.
In today’s highly competitive job market, creating the right video resume to accompany your traditional CV can make you stand out from the crowd. The wrong one, though, can make you a laughing stock.
1. Make Sure It’s Appropriate
3. Keep it Short
4. Don’t Be Afraid to Be Creative
5. Make Sure It Passes the Share Test
2. Don’t Just Read Out Your Resume
Don’t just create
a video resume because you can, create one because it’s relevant to the job you
want to do.
If you’re applying for a role in the online, media, social or creative
professions, then it’s more likely a decent video resume will have the desired
effect, i.e., getting you invited for an interview.
Don’t send a video resume to a more traditional type of company that won’t
“get it.” You might do your chances more harm than good.
Graeme Anthony, from the example above, is a public relations executive. His
cleverly thought out online content adds an extra wow factor to his already
outstanding experience.
2. Don’t Just
Read Out Your Resume
The whole point of a video presentation is to offer a potential employer
greater insight into you than a traditional resume can, so
just reading
aloud the contents of your CV is a waste of everyone’s time.
Use the video to help the employer get a sense of not just what you have
achieved, but what you are capable of achieving in the future.
“Tell them why you would be the right person to hire and what you can do for
them,” says Mario Gedicke, account manager at Mayomann.com, a video employment platform.
You can, however, highlight particularly relevant info from your resume.
“Focus on your experience and skill set (and possible education/training)
especially relevant to the position,” advises Tyler Redford, CEO of resumebook.tv, an online resume management system.
And if it’s appropriate and relevant to the job (as in the example above),
then don’t be afraid to talk about your passions.
3. Keep it
Short
“Keep your video resume short,” says Gedicke, who advises that a
one-minute mark
is ideal.
Redford agrees that a video resume should be “short and
sweet.” He suggests staying within two minutes.
“Keep in mind that recruiters would likely want to use the video resume as an
initial filter for applicants,” Redford says. “However, recruiters do not
typically want to use the video resume in lieu of a real, in-person
interview.”
Think of your video resume as your own personal teaser trailer. In the
example above, the clip is less than one minute and 20 seconds in length, while
the extra time is made up of a
bloopers reel
accompanied with credits, a clever way to show off your personality (and that
you don’t take yourself too seriously).
4. Don’t Be
Afraid to Be Creative
If you’re opting for a video resume, then go the whole hog and make it
spectacular. Be creative, whether that’s with the concept of your pitch, use of
humor, clever production values or brilliant editing.
However, stay classy. “
Be creative, but
professional. Do not deviate too much from the demeanor you would have in the
workplace
,” says Redford. Gedicke suggests this should extend to your
wardrobe too: “Dress professionally, just as if you are going to an in-person
interview.”
In the video above, James Corne creates a spoof AA-style confession, but
maintains a certain veneer and dresses like he was headed to the office. This
demonstrates creativity and humor whilst showing him to be a professional
person.
5. Make Sure It
Passes the Share Test
As with all online life, don’t put content out there that you wouldn’t be
prepared to see go viral. It’s unlikely your video resume will become an
overnight Internet sensation, but imagining that scenario is a good test to make
sure you could cope if it did.
Imagine your
friends and family watching the clip. If the thought of that embarrasses you,
then don’t submit it.

this is an example of "limiting the amount of content" writing can become a big confusing "pot of stew" like art.
placing it in off center to the left or right
and either above or below the center line adds to the interest of the piece by giving the viewer introductory or supporting information
these pictures all have main points that your eye goes to first because they are emphasized with color or images.
Value brings out the
differences among a foreground that is in your
face, a midground that may serve as the focal area or simply support, and a
background that may be miles away
bright colors are a good way to emphasize important things. The eye is attracted to bright colors the quickest.
You can use color, shape, line,
texture, value, space, and or form in
a way that distinguished
one element or area from the whole to focus the viewer through the piece.
For those interested in abstract art and photography, this is a great page. It covers the principle of emphasis by providing excellent examples of art.
I really liked this website because it showed how emphasis is necessary for artist creating paintings! Emphasis not only applys to composition and graphic design but also in art!
This website is more about art and paintings, but is a very good example of emphasis and focal points. The page gives good examples on how to create a focal point from focal area, color dominance, value contrasts, visual movement, difference, and shape. Each section has different paintings from various artists but very good examples and ideas of how to lay out things and where the person observing will focus according to your layout.
This website was a good supplement to the understanding of alignment because it broke it down, even so far as to talk about how as humans we value alignment, it makes us feel comfortable. It gives great examples of the different types of alignment you can use and gives rules of thumb like finding a strong element on the page to align something against.
This website gives good, specific and real world applications for alignment-such as a business card. They walk through the differences so you can visually see why you would do something. I thought this one very helpful.
This is my favorite article because it thoroughly describes alignment and because it also gives great examples on how to use alignment and how to not use alignment. It does a great job at distinguishing between the both.
This site gives examples of different ways to align your text to make it the most beneficial to reading. Aligning the text on all the same edge makes it easier for the eye to read. Also, adding a bold edge to it in order to allow the text to be aligned to that.
This website is a good example of "balance" because it has distinct and easy to follow images . Also it provides examples of the definitions of the terms that are enclosed in the term of balance.
This site gives quick lessons on the principles of design. The 2nd lesson is that of balance. It goes over horizontal, vertical, radial, symmetrical, and asymmetrical balance
This website gives more examples of balance including horizontal, vertical, radial, Brower's Chocolate, etc The formal, informal and dynamic examples on this site informs the user on different techniques that can be used. This is my favorite site out of the 3 bookmarked
I like how this website is defining the types of balance, and it also gives good examples. It shows symmetrical, asymmetrical balance and also radial, horizontal and vertical balance. Really good examples.
This website shows the principles of balance in design. It does a really good job explaining how to create an illusion of visual balance. I like how they had pictures to expand on what they are talking about!
I really liked this page, like the last one I posted for contrast this website goes into detail about each kind of balance and gives a picture example of each. It makes it really easy to understand seeing a web page picture or ad, which is what we mostly work with so it makes it easier to understand by showing pictures we relate to.
Here is another article about balance in web design! This article is more focused on designing for your audience. It defines the types of balance as: horizontal, vertical, radial, symmetrical and asymmetrical. Each type of balance has examples from the web accompanied by a short description of how balance is achieved in each unique way. The article goes into the properties of balance as well, and has examples from the web to help define them.
I enjoyed how this website was well organized, aligned and designed. It attracted me by the various examples and way that she set each different topic apart. Even though this page is for scrapbookers, it gave good information including examples of alignment. It gives a great example of connecting alignment which gives strength to your design.
Includes a "Categories of Works" section discussion the types of works covered by copyright, such as literary works, musical and dramatic works, pantomimes and choreography, pictorial and graphic works, sculptures, films and other audiovisual works, sound recordings, and finally architectural works. Copyrighted works can fall into more than one category (a play is both a literary and dramatic work, for example) and the list is not exhaustive. A work that doesn't seem to fit into any of these categories could still be covered by copyright if it is "an original work of authorship." The chapter then covers each category in more detail. Literature, for example, is defined not just as novels and plays but also movie scripts, letters, email messages, blogs, computer programs, and even souvenir T-shirt messages. It also doesn't have to be tangible; a short story doesn't need to be published in physical format to be copyrighted.

I really enjoyed this website because it shares a lot of the same concepts as Chapter 3 does. It talks about contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity. The site also shows examples of different web pages and how they use these different elements!
-And.. its a funny site title :]
C.R.A.P. acronym for Contrast, Repetition, Alignment and Proximity with great screen capture of a website that utilizes contrast very well. Then, a screen capture of a bad example that fails with the contrast principle. There is a short text on contrast.
I like this website because of its title. How Crap is your site design? This website talks a lot about what chapter 6 was explaining. Such as how elements should be grouped or how repeating styles down a page can bring a cohesive feel.
New media is a broad term in media studies that emerged in the later part of the 20th century. For example, new media holds out a possibility of on-demand access to content any time, anywhere, on any digital device, as well as interactive user feedback, creative participation and community formation around the media content. Another important promise of New Media is the "democratization" of the creation, publishing, distribution and consumption of media content.
Most technologies described as "new media" are digital, often having characteristics of being manipulated, networkable, dense, compressible, and interactive.[1] Some examples may be the Internet, websites, computer multimedia, computer games, CD-ROMS, and DVDs.
Although there are several ways that New Media may be described, Lev Manovich, in an introduction to The New Media Reader, defines New Media by using eight simple and concise propositions:[4]
New Media as Computer Technology Used as a Distribution Platform
New Media as Digital Data Controlled by Software
New Media as the Mix Between Existing Cultural Conventions and the Conventions of Software
New Media as the Aesthetics that Accompanies the Early Stage of Every New Modern Media and Communication Technology
New Media as Faster Execution of Algorithms Previously Executed Manually or through Other Technologies
New Media as the Encoding of Modernist Avant-Garde; New Media as Metamedia
New Media as Parallel Articulation of Similar Ideas in Post-WWII Art and Modern Computing
he Zapatista Army of National Liberation of Chiapas, Mexico were the first major movement to make widely recognized and effective use of New Media for communiques and organizing in 1994
New Media has also found a use with less radical social movements such as the Free Hugs Campaign. Using websites, blogs, and online videos to demonstrate the effectiveness of the movement itself. Along with this example the use of high volume blogs has allowed numerous views and practices to be more widespread and gain more public attention
New Media has also recently become of interest to the global espionage community as it is easily accessible electronically in database format and can therefore be quickly retrieved and reverse engineered by national governments. Particularly of interest to the espionage community are Facebook and Twitter, two sites where individuals freely divulge personal information that can then be sifted through and archived for the automatic creation of dossiers on both people of interest and the average citizen.[
The new media industry shares an open association with many market segments in areas such as software/video game design, television, radio, and particularly movies, advertising and marketing, through which industry seeks to gain from the advantages of two-way dialogue with consumers primarily through the Internet.
The wiki page has everything one would need to get a brief overview of what new media is. Within the site it gives all the different definitions of new media and how it affects people.
This webpage made me understand more about new media in terms that it talks about new media being interactive. I didn't get that from Manovich's artice.
This was the best website i found because I was honestly confused after reading the article so this breaks it down in less than 20 something pages and makes it easier to understand it explains everything there is to know about new media.
