TWC301: Multimedia Writing

I think ASU has a repetitive element on their website on the top left where it has the ASU acronym next to Arizona State University spelt out.

This website provides a concise explanation of emphasis and ways to use it effectively. It gives you three questions to ask yourself that were also stated in our text in order to identify which is the primary message of emphasis, which is the second, etc. I like that it provides examples of emphasis and by clicking on the image, they tell you what is emphasized in the picture and how the focal point is established.

This is a very informative e-book. You get the feeling that the author knows all the ins and outs of design. I will refer to it multiple times throughout the semester. The "easy on the eyes" design makes it easy to read, but what else would you expect.

This website features a lot of tips that would have the beginner to develop an attractive, yet effective website. One thing they recommend is writing your information as if in answer to a question, since that is the most common reason for a person to visit any particular site - to search for the answer to a question.

Graphic design, extensive information

photography perspective

extensive information and articles about design and layout, especially in web design

This website explains visual hierarchy. It also discusses all of the different aspects of making a web page look visually appealing. 

The site breaks the ten steps down with humor and explains what copywriting is all about.

I believe this website helps a lot with teaching you how to strategically deliver words in order to get people to do something. It is straight to the point and easy to understand. d#1 hw#13

IBM website stating the design principles and more to them.

IBM created a list of design principles that compliment what we are learning in chapter one. Even though their list is mostly for software design, I believe this site is beneficial. d#1 hw#13

On this website it was a more condesned version of what was covered in the text reading. It really did not go into depth like the book did on each topic but it did touch on the topics giving a brief descrpition along with pictures. This website would most likely be used for someone who is new to the whole design and layout field.

This website was what the reading in Basic of desgin would call KISS because it covered everything that we read but it covered it in a simpler version. It gave little pictures along with each topic that associated with the topic.

I like this site because it discusses all of the principles of design mentioned in chapter 1 of our textbook. It also discusses other principles that are not mentioned in the textbook such as continuance and alignment. Overall, very informational and helpful.

I thought this was a good site just because with all the priciples it describes it gives diagrams or drawings as examples to demostrate what they are talking about.

This page decribes similar or the same principles as the text. Aside from expanding on the explanation of each princple this page offers diagrams and drawings to try and help demonstrate what the princple is describing. Principles listed on page: *Balance *Rhythm *Proportion *Dominance *Unity Even though the principles may have different names than the text the way they describe them easily relates to the ones presented in the book.
