Before responding to this journal read "Basic Design Principles" found in the course library on BlackBoard. Summarize the entire reading in two paragraphs. Be sure to answer the following two questions within your journal posting: What are the four basic principles of design that are highlighted in this excerpt? Explain each principle. How does color affect page design?
Basically you want the design to enable the viewer to easily navigate through the contents while enjoying the layout and information displayed on the page. The four basic principles are alignment, proximity, repetition, and contrast. The first concept alignment just basically states that you should have everything in one alignment as not to confuse the reader. Proximity is the relationship that develops when items relate to eachother. You just have to remember to put everything that relates closer together. Repetition just brings everything together. Contrast just creates a sort of pathway of where to look on a web page. Color choice represents your mood and clarity of a subject.
