Download speed – the amount of data the user can download per second and is capped by their ISP. The slower the download speed for the user the slower the user can download the webpages and assets to view the website so the company will have to have to take their customers download speeds into account to decide what size of files is appropriate for their audience to access their website as quickly as possible.

A specific design principle I noticed is color and along with another design principle, focal point. I know I was only supposed to talk about one principle, but these two coincide together. In the background, the artist uses complementary colors of orange, yellow and brown depicting the color of fields. The sky is an eerie color of gray and blue. The color that really pops out is the light pink hay that the donkey is holding.

The visual element and the composition work together because he used the green in the back ground to replaces the sky. That is how I see them working together. The most obvious principles that the artist used variety and he also used unity. For the unity the light and the darkness of the colors are combined bring harmony to the picture. It brings out the blue and the yellow in the artwork. The variety is the way the art used to a two colors to make you see a different color when looking at the artwork.

The bad thing about the font of the texts is that they are links and could be hard to find that out. Creating a bad website design could be unsatisfactory, but when a website is ugly it is even worst. The perfect example of an ugly design is http://www.monkzone.com. This website uses a color pallet that makes it very difficult for someone to read the text on the website. The font size is very small and some of the links do not work. In addition, the pictures on the web page make the website unattractive. It is almost like you are looking at a children website. By the end of browsing this website, the last idea the visitors get is that it is a Jazz musician website promoting his work.

It is one of the biggest flaws of the website, for this reason it is essential to create enough space between the paragraphs and images so the viewer has space to breathe, minimize the paragraphs size of the content, divide large blocks of information into more manageable groups where natural and appropriate, avoid content clutter especially on the homepage, present information in more precise and ordered way to minimize the scrolling required, and finally, organize the content with respect to the principles of contrast, repetition, alignment and proximity. All these steps must be taken to accomplish three of our usability goals (effective home page, Clarity of the interface, Motivating website), as well as to meet two of the Windows Interface Guidelines, "aesthetics" and "simplicity".

Contrast is one of the most relevant principles in design, and it goes considerably further than simply light and dull shading esteems. Every one of these components of complexity should cooperate in a format or configuration to help accomplish the final look. We The Fans is is an excellent example of great use of contrast.This is seen in multiple aspects of this website, such as; the front screen (the title of the site is white against the dull blue background underlined with bright orange, and all other words permanently displayed on the screen are also white). After clicking ‘START THE EXPERIENCE’ and loading into the fan seat selection page, it is noticeable that these positions are outlined in either bright blue or orange colors as to attract attention. Upon clicking a fan seat, a side bar emerges showing the fan who has been selected, and a visual of who they are. The photos displayed are all bright and in color (which contrasts with the dull blue background). Dependant on the fan, if reading the stories available it will then open a new page displaying the football fans story as to why they attended the game. This page appears with a white background with black font unless interrupted with images of said fan.

Switches are multilayer and can sit on the data link layer (layer 2) when processing and forwarding data, also on the network layer (layer 3) by using IP addresses when forwarding

Web Design is almost like an art. It is the design of information and services over the Internet. Luckily for businesses and customers the information and services provided are in done so through the World Wide Web (WWW). As I mentioned earlier Web design is a form of art, meaning that art and organization are needed to form customized Web pages to fit a particular business’ needs. Services for Web design can be accomplished in a variety of ways: professionally through a Web designer, created through hypertext mark-up language, JavaScript, Dreamweaver, and Microsoft FrontPage as well as other “What you see is what you get” {WYSIWYG) editors or languages.

The gestalt principles—similarity, proximity, closure, figure-ground, continuance, and common fate—were introduced by gestalt psychologist Max Werthimer in his seminal paper Laws of Organization in Perceptual Forms and are a popular tool used by designers for visually organizing information. In this series of articles, we will learn how these principles can be used to improve the usability of designs. Proper use can affect efficiency, learnability, and memorability, and also reduce errors, contributing to the overall satisfaction of a website.

It gives direction to the reader, what to do, what not to do in similar situation.

The style in this book is what relates to the theme the best. The way the words flow together are what really help you see the dominant theme of this book. As you read the words, “they watched as green became the grass and blue became the sky. The yellow sun was shining bright on white clouds drifting by” and it lays the foundation that everyone is different and diverse.

Web sites are just like magazines, newspapers, brochures, menus, or even directions on how to make nitroglycerin from house-hold goods, in that they all have to be put together in such a manner that whoever is reading or browsing over it will be able to clearly distinguish this from that. In this sense, a critique of any particular web site will have justification, while carefully considering also that this is an altogether new medium of information exchange. Now, all of this talk of togetherness is actually a general reference to basic design principles, such as color coordination, if color is used, text size, font choice/ style, art integration, accessibility, and just plain and simple design of the page. For

They provide a logical understanding to why authors place elements in certain places on the page. Motion can be emphasized with diagonal shapes while horizontal shapes emphasize stability. This can be achieved easily in books without using words. One of the principles I had not realized prior to reading this book is when a shape is placed at the top of the page represents freedom and happiness while placing a shape at the bottom of the page represents sadness. The burst in the middle of a picture helps the audience focus only on that element. I think the burst still would be the focus point on the picture even if the red triangle was not in the center. The white color background helps people to feel safe opposed to the black background that feels dangerous. I have always felt like the color black is a depressing, and dangerous color so I can see why this principle implies a bad feeling. This entire book intrigued me by allowing me to think outside the box. I have known several of these concepts existed but never have thought about applying them to picture books. It’s amazing to me that an entire book can be read without using any words if the principles are applied
