Start of the Working Week

Its Monday morning and so far haven't been all that productive. The sky is dark and threatening to burst any moment and release (much needed rain) depression.

I find I feel positive when the sun is out and I'm out in it absorbing that vitamin D. I suppose on the other hand this weather keeps me indoors and focused.

However today is Monday and its back to the rat race for most, except me I'm off for Easter holidays. So I should start studying and what not, I got as far as making a timetable last week, and haven't looked at it again. Dedication. Oh yeah.

I have managed to print out a whole load of study material to take away with me when we go away to the (hopefully) sunny loch awe in Argyll.

If you can and have just a few moments this morning to spare then please give generously. I need to cross some t's and dot some i's with final testing of www.jaybiros.com.

Youre donation of time is very much appreciated.

Top Essentials For Good Web Design

I am now studying for my graded unit to finally get my HNC in June so its important for me to continue to learn and write ABOUT the concepts I have learned!
SO this is as much for you as it is for me :)

1. Colour is everything! - Understand colour what ity evokes in people, understand colour schemes; and if you dont know what youre doing, pick a colour scheme from http://webdesignledger.com/tools/10-super-useful-tools-for-choosing-the-right-color-palette  or http://colorschemedesigner.com/

2. Font! Choose the correct typeface for the work you are doing, consider the target audience, ie older generation use a larger typeface. Consider, weight, kerning and leading.

3. Layout! lay yout design out so the design follows a visual hierarchy with the most important thing drawing your eye first in a logical way.

4. Good web design is crap.

C. - contrast
R. - repetition
A. - allignment
P. - proximity

p.s. i got a new keyboard, I couldnt live with the one I had anymore and I feel like smashing it up. Don't know if it was my pc or because the keyboard was wireless. Hey Ho!
