Function first

About this place, I decided to forget about a color scheme and branding for a bit. I am talking about this website. Instead, focus on what is functional like the basic layout and content. So far, this has made it easier to make progress. Form usually does follow function. Now I feel more satisfied with what I am looking at.

Keep it simple sweetheart!

Also, I must remember the principles of design, which is of course C.R.A.P! It simply stands for contrast, repetition, alignment and proximity. I could expand on those but I have to work on this website! I can recommend a book which we read in “Web Design and Media Production” class. It outlines this now very popular idea of design “Non-Designers Design Book” by Robin Williams.

Robin is known to have first coined the acronym C.R.A.P.

Contrast
Repetition
Alignment
Proximity
