Basic Principles of Graphics and Layout (Imaging & Design for Online Environment)

          Creating a web page is like creating a work of art. There are certain things that you need to consider in order to get your message across.

1. Balance. The visual weight of objects, texture, colors, and space is evenly distributed on the screen.
An example page of balance and emphasis
2. Emphasis. An area in the design that may appear different in size, texture, shape or color to attract the viewer's attention.












Movement
3. Movement. Visual elements guide the viewer's eyes around the screen.











Pattern, Repetition, and Rhythm
4. Pattern, Repetition, and Rhythm. These are the repeating visual element on an image or layout to create unity in the layout or image. Rhythm is achieved when visual elements create a sense of organized movement.









5. Proportion. Visual elements create a sense  of unity where they relate well with one another.

  17. Do you use HTML when designing your websites (assuming you have created sites) and is it easy to use or would you recommend other programs? Because when i was Grade 10, we used VisualBasic6.0 and it was pretty easy to code for designs, but when it comes to HTML, I'm kinda unfamiliar with it.

    1. Ma'am what is the importance of the Graphics and Layout design for the websites you make?

      Delete
    2. Hi Isaac, yes we use HTML in designing our websites. HTML (Hypertext Markup Language) is the set of markup symbols or codes inserted in a file intended for display on a World Wide Web browser page. The markup tells the Web browser how to display a Web page's words and images for the user. Each individual markup code is referred to as an element (but many people also refer to it as a tag). Some elements come in pairs that indicate when some display effect is to begin and when it is to end. The codes in HTML are easy to understand. Try to explore HTML and you'll see.

  18. What is best resolution when uploading a image in a web ? 72ppi or 300ppi ?
    and where should I focus in my image if I'll gonna upload it ? DPI – Dots per inch or PPI – Pixels per inch .

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. If you've been around computers and digital images for a while, especially if you're a web designer or a photographer publishing your photos online, you've no doubt heard it said that the correct resolution for images displayed on the web, or on computer screens in general, is 72 pixels per inch (ppi). Some say it's "ppi" (pixels per inch), others claim it's "dpi" (dots per inch), and the whole thing would get very confusing if it were not for one small fact.

  26. hi ma'am, in photo editing, is it possible to pixelate an image? is it possible to enhance it's resolution?

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. Yes, bitmap is the most commonly used image format on the web. All your JPEG and PNG files are Bitmap image files. A bitmap image is made up of thousands of pixels. If you zoom in you can actually see those pixels as squares. Most image editing software shrink or enlarge these pixels to resize an image. This is why when you resize an image to a smaller size there is no visible quality loss. Mainly because those pixels become even less visible. On the other hand when you resize an image to make it large, these enlarged pixels become more visible which makes the image look blurry and pixelated.

      The solution is to compensate for each enlarged pixel, so that it matches the properties of its nearest pixel. This method is called Fractal Interpolation or simply Fractals. It produces a much better result when an image is enlarged using this technique. :)

  29. Are there other things to consider when creating a web page.

    ReplyDelete
    Replies
    1. You must consider the Architecture and Design Planning

      Before you begin to build your website, you need to decide what it is you want your site to accomplish. You must establish what your internet marketing strategy will be. There are two basic kinds of users on the web, those interested in researching a topic and shoppers who have finished their research and are ready to act. Your site should be built to satisfy whichever of these types of searchers you are looking to attract. Determine before you begin if you are going to be selling something or if you are going to be providing information. Knowing your niche is critical to the success of your search engine optimization design project.

      Make sure your web page is user-friendly.

      You must be careful about how many images you use on a page. While images may help the page look pretty, you must remember that some people turn off images so that pages load faster, while others may be using screen readers, voice recognition, or speech synthesizers because they are visually impaired (which can include color blindness and dyslexia, not just low or no vision).
