WebDesign: CSS and Graphic Design (W7-P1)
A well designed web site is not just some CSS code and hexadecimal numbers.
There are some important graphic design principles to keep in mind when designing a web site.
Graphic design: "the art or profession of visual communication that combines images, words, and ideas to convey information to an audience, especially to produce a specific effect"(Dictionary.com).
Watch the video below and make special note on proximity, white space, alignment, contrast and repetition. The text from the video can be found on this GCF page.
What do each terms mean and how do they help create a better website?
