Web Design: The Good, The Bad, and The Ugly

This chapter was all about web site design and how to make effective websites. I found the four design principles to be the most interesting and useful things. These can be applied to more than just web sites. You can use these in designing your own documents to make them more appealing and effective. You don't realize how these four design principles really make or break a website. A website that uses proximity, alignment, repetition, and contrast is more easy to use than a website that doesn't. An example shown in the text is the Mayo clinic website. It is nicely designed and gives you all the information you need. An example of a poorly designed website can be found here. The colors are awful and the text font looks like it is older than the internet. Clearly, these four principles are important if you want people to come to your site and be able to use it.
