Week 6 Blog - Web Design From Scratch

I have read a webpage called "Web design from scratch ".

In this webpage, there are a lot of useful article to learn. In this time, I read the Graphic Design for the web first.

The skill of Graphic Design Basic as the followings:

3. Contrast
   Example of insufficient contrast
   Example of sufficient contrast
   We uses black/white for the majority of body text, for maximum readability.
4. Readability
   Making pages easy to read by design
   In the article, there is a quite interesting example.

5. Effective text
   The strengths of using HTML text rather than words as graphics in web design
   There are a lot of the benefits of text over graphics. For example, comparing the text and graphic, the text can already be displayed quicker on screen than graphic file.
6. Imagery
   We need to consider site's goals and the users' goals, and apply graphics in a suitable proportion.
7. Attention Map
   It is just similar the prototype for helping you plan what your page should do before you get your hands dirty, example .
