In this last article of the series, Linda continues to show how you can learn from other websites by observing them carefully and noting down how they match up to the design elements and principles she’s been writing about.
In this article Linda will be building on her first deconstruction lesson and giving you a real insight into browsing the web with your “designer’s eyes” open.
In this weeks article Linda is going to carry out a detailed deconstruction of a very carefully thought out commercial website, to show how the different aspects of web design are brought together to build an excellent web experience.
In highlighting the craftsmanship involved in this site, Linda will consolidate your learning. Furthermore this article will help you to appreciate the work and detail behind a lovely site, that not only works on it’s own terms but fully reflects the image of the person behind it.
Over the past few months we focused on design elements and how to use these elements in our web designs. However, we still need to understand how these elements combine to form design principles. This week, we’ll view several sites to understand these principles, or design rules. By rules, I mean rules that can be broken, but only if we understand how they work in the first place. So, we’ll take these principles step-by-step, because each one is achieved through all the design elements.
