School Daze

Another week of school over, having a great time with it, but geeez there is a lot of homework. Spent 6 hours last night finishing a 12 page assignment on the elements and principals of design. It was a very challenging assignment as there were 8 different things for elements as ell as another 8 for design that I had to write up descriptions of, usage of and provide visual examples of them all. If that wasn't enough there were also another 9 detailed questions regarding the elements and design principals.

Anyway, I got it all done and I was pleased with the end result. Evn the tutor said it had the best content and layout of all the assignments, which does not surprise me since I did the layout using the principals I was researching.

On another note, I have finally decided on the colour scheme and base layout for a site I am working on for a glass artist. Should be really good when it is finished. I just need to get some more content from the client and it will be all systems go with that one.

We have a long weekend coming up here, so I will continue to make some inroads into a couple of site designs I have going and get ahead on another assignment I was given today.

Design matters

You know, a lot of people do not think about colours when they are designing their website. I mean, sure they choose colours that they like, but they don't really think about what the right colours can do for your sales.

Apparently the colour that is used most in the outside world (The real world) to encourage people to buy, is Orange.

I am working on incorporating this colour into my designs to see if this works on internet marketing.

I will get back to you on this.
