To design or not to design?

GOOD DESIGN NEEDS TO BE USABLE AND VISUALLY PLEASING!

1. When navigating a good design, the user should be led around the screen by the designer.

2. You should direct the user’s eyes through a sequence of steps, ( not simply landing on a section and that is it.)

• Position — Where something is on a page clearly influences in what order the user sees it.

• Color — Using bold and subtle colors is a simple way to tell your user where to look.

• Contrast — Being different makes things stand out, while being the same makes them secondary. 

• Size — Big takes precedence over little (unless everything is big, in which case little might stand out thanks to Contrast)

• Design Elements — if there is a gigantic arrow pointing at something, guess where the user will look?

Visual Haiku

HERE ARE THE HAIKU POEMS  - USE ONLY 1

The first soft snow!
Enough to bend the leaves
Of the jonquil low.

Matso Batso (1644 – 1694)

A lightning flash:
between the forest trees
I have seen water.

Masaoka Shiki, – (1867 – 1902)

I kill an ant
and realize my three children
have been watching.

Kato, Shuson

A lovely thing to see:
through the paper window's hole,
the Galaxy.

Issa. (1762-1826)

A whale!
Down it goes, and more and more
up goes its tail!

Yosa, Buson (1716-84)
