      This is one of my favorite layouts on this site because it is so intricate! The typography and the graphics match seamlessly! And the mirror-imaged pictures of the shoes are so interesting to the eye. The whole layout makes me excited about what I am going to read. The layout is intricate, yet still simple enough.

  • The goal of visual design is to communicate.
  • We are visual beings and can quickly pick up on visual cues to better understand our environment.
  • Headings are hierarchy and make some words more important than the rest of your type. Tags for blockquotes and lists, strong, and em, also add a visual hierarchy to your typography.

  • Think of the basic design principles contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity.
  • Contrast
  • Repetition
  • Alignment
  • Proximity
  • You create a hierarchy in design, by adjusting the visual weights of your element.
  • The mechanisms for controlling visual weight are the same in both cases. Size – As you would expect larger elements carry more weight Color – It’s not fully understood why, but some colors are perceived as weighing more than others. Red seems to be heaviest while yellow seems to be lightest. Density – Packing more elements into a given space, gives more weight to that space Value – A darker object will have more weight than a ligher object Whitespace – Positive space weighs more than negative space or whitespace
  • Your hierarchy should begin with thoughtful consideration of the content and goals of the page. Only after you’ve decided intellectually the hierarchy of your page should you attempt to visually design that hierarchy.
  • Visual Hierarchy is a deliberate prioritization of

Fully Understanding Contrast in Design | Webdesigner Depot - 1 views

    • Alex Portela
       
      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.

    Great examples!

    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.

Gorgeous Typography Examples in Advertising Design - Noupe - 0 views

      This ad is really cool however if people who did not know what Orange did, it would be confusing and not get much across. In my opinion this is an awesome design just doesn't get everything across that it needs to.

      The flow of this ad really comes through in the type of font that it was created in. The script makes it flow with the reader as they read the word efficiency

D#2, HW#2-Chapter 2 Website - 1 views

  •  
    D#2, HW#2 I thought that this was the best website that demonstrated Chapter 2 in my opinion. The website talks about the same kind of elements as in the chapter including size, color, weight, and style. I also enjoyed it because the writer explained, like the book, the reason for each of these techniques and why they help the reader get the information that is being shown to them.

Emphasis- Creative Curio » Enhance Your Designs with the Principle of Emphasis - 0 views

  •  
    Another good website to inspire ideas about emphasizing your design. It also has great examples. There are also great key points that will help in choosing what to emphasize. The website itself was nicely laid out. I enjoyed it very much.
  •  
    I really thought this was the best webste that i came across out of the three because the writer wrote this article in a very simple way and was easy to understand what is meant by emphasis. The writer did not use anything was to hard to understand, another thing that i found to be very helpful was how she gave the reader ideas on how to improve using emphasis in things that you do in regards to layout and design.
  •  
    This article went over mostly everything that the reading had presented, however the author made her version of presenting Emphasis in a way that even a elementary student would understand. What helped get her points across as by using two examples for emphasis and then went on to explain what approach the design teams used in form of emphasis.
