The principles of Web Graphic Design


Have you had a chance to look closely at some of the many websites you visit every day, that does not look attractive in their design and graphics? Most likely these sites are poorly formatted and take a long time to load. Do you know why these things happen? And 'because the site is not built by a professional web designer and is a work of a less experienced or a newcomer to the web and graphic design industry. To save all the pain and discomfort involved in building a professional website, you must hire or outsource the work of a well known web designer or design company. Why do we persist in giving the work by famous designers because there are those who claim to be professional, but makes the same mistake that you are the owner of the site.

To circumvent a professional website and beautiful, you must keep in mind the KISS principle. KISS means Keep it Simple Stupid. The text says it all, we speak of this principle in detail.

First of all, we begin to get a nice background for your site. Just be careful when choosing the right color, that makes the site too flashy (graphic design to the attention of law). You have to understand how long a visitor should stay on your site, 10 minutes, 20 minutes, half hour, 1 hour background color, etc., would decide if the visitor wants to stay on the website or not. The best way to judge a color for your site would be to test the site and look around for a while 'to see the level of comfort from the corner of a visitor. If your eyes start to water within 15 minutes of looking, then there is a problem otherwise its OK.

Secondly, focus on the color of the text. This color should be in line with those that are easy to read and looks professional as black or dark gray, etc. Also, when it comes to fonts, make sure there is consistency in-depth web site. All fonts should be similar except those used for the lyrics of the title. Font size is another factor that affects the overall appearance and professionalism. The size of the irregular nature gives the impression to the visitor immature. Do not make the font too small for a visitor's hard to read, even though they look elegant. Even if you have to use different fonts, use no more than 3 font styles, and plan well before you choose which one suits to serve what purpose. Keep your site simple and clean as possible.

The final part involves scrolling through the website. Avoid using more content that makes a visitor to push against his / her desire to get to browse for relevant data. Instead, divide the content into smaller pages, but several. This point is especially important when you are planning to put more content. Please reconsider before the visitor navigates to another site.

Remember if you use oil paintings or any form of graphic design, simplicity is always better. For example, abstraction, rather than detailed reproductions of art, works best on the web .......
