Hi Friends,
Today I’ve put together my principles for good Web design. These are only my opinions and I’ve tried to link off to more reading on subjects.please read these as they are intended–just some observations I am sharing…
1. Precedence (Guiding the Eye)
Good Web design, perhaps even more than other type of design, is about information. One of the biggest tools in your arsenal to do this is precedence. When navigating a good design, the user should be led around the screen by the designer. I call this precedence, and it’s about how much visual weight different parts of your design have.
2. Spacing
When I first started designing I wanted to fill every available space up with stuff. Empty space seemed wasteful. In fact the opposite is true.
Spacing makes things clearer. In Web design there are three aspects of space that you should be considering:
* Line Spacing
* Padding
* White Space
3. Navigation
One of the most frustrating experiences you can have on a Web site is being unable to figure out where to go or where you are. I’d like to think that for most Web designers, navigation is a concept we’ve managed to master, but I still find some pretty bad examples out there. There are two aspects of navigation to keep in mind:
* Navigation — Where can you go?
* Orientation — Where are you now?
if you have more then this please let me know.
Thanks.....
