Week-3 Sept 24

One thing I learn about this week reading is how much of attention I need to put on putting a website together, it does not take a rocket scientitist to do it, however; I need to think twice before I put it together. One important information was the colors you use on the website and also the resolution image used. Using the web is a great information device. you have to make a good judgment when you are chosing your colors. example, last weekend when i was working on lab project, I noticed when i change the color, it makes a great difference, choosing the right size to the image can make a great difference, I can choose to make the image small, medium, large or xtra large, however; I have to make sure that I use the right PPI size, make sure it is not too high. The ppi size should be 72 and 96 to effectively display a graphic.
The main focus when designing for the web is the time that is required to load the page and sometimes the trade off you should make to keep this time down.
The 2 websites I evaluate were: www.letterboxing.org/index.php. is one of the website I picked. hthe website was very efficient. The main page was slow to load and the links on the main graphics were not spontaneous. It is a fun site for family. The color was very nice, it was easy to navigate from one page to another. The designer word chosen links could be clearer.

www.albright.edu/index/php was another page that I evaluate. The navigation scheme and the text great. I like the color and the flow of the homepage. the information is accessible.

I will be more critical of websites when I look at in the future, especially the colors, the sizes of the pictures, I will apply this information very careful when I ma putting my websites together.

BLOG-WEEK-2

One thing I have learned during my readings from the book, the website resources as well as the material covered in class were how much there is into creating a web design. How I can take an image, clean it up in a particular way. The way I should made a wed design as visable, readable as ever. One part that I found that was extremely interested was the photoshop session. I always knew it could be done but finding out how it can be done was great. I did not comprehend the time and exactness with which someone can take to make a picture perfect on the web, if people knew how much of work, and planing that goes into making a wed design perfect, it will be more appreciated, Web design is a word of art. I can not wait to see what the remaining of the weeks bring. It funny how how much I pay @ sears portrait for my family pictures.

I need to be very prudent when emailing photos to love ones and friends. How you size the pictures are very important, the picture should have a specific size approximately 200-300 pixels, the smaller they are, the better they look. Saving the file on JPEG is one way to make the sizes maller
things you can do to make the pictures smaller for sharing online are: cropping the picture, it is one way, meaning you need to remove the unwanted or the unnecessary portions of the pictures.
Changing the pixel dimensions, the pixels are smaller, everything showing on the screen looks smaller, having too many pixels make it difficult for the person to view the pictures.
Compression is another way to make
When sending and printing pictures, Color is another important fact to consider. The color should reflect the CMYK. which stands for (a blue, magenta, yellow, and black), color selection will be limited to the pallet, which is availabe. if you choose a color that is not web standard the system on which your page is opened will either attempt to change the color to a standard color.

After reading all of these information on the web and in the book, I think it is best before sending a picture we need to make the necessay changes.

Block week 1

One thing I learn from the first class is in order for anyone of any company to design a web site, ones they have to know how to keeping contrast, repetition, alignment, and proximity together. by having all of these four elemements in place will make the add better, will give the public a reason to look at the advertisement a second time. After the first week of class, it made me not to look at flyers, business cards, posters etc the same way. Contrast, repetition, alignment and proximity will make the web site more proficient and easy to read and comprehend.

Web design is a creation of web page and abbreviations, which I did not get until I read the chapters, I realized that these abbreviations have meaning, and they are combined of the right texts, shapes colors, they are plenty of things anyone can do in a web page.

Graphic design plays a big role in our daily lives by giving us diciplines and by preparing us to communicate with the public through visual information.

Web has it differences and so does print. It is necessary to understand that web and print share similarities. alignment, use of colors, consistency of text, and component spacing. The web offered is the ability to provide real imformation. The printed docs are not going to vanish.

As far as the Website reading, it repeats almost everything the book says.
