Design Principals

The lecture was about Design Principals
Balance
Unity/ Proximity
Alignment (underline grid)
Repetition/ Consistency
Space
Contrast (size, colour, texture, weight, style)

We looked at some website to see how these principals work and what things make the site hard for viewer. Though I’m familiar with the rules of web designing but I think it was a good reminder in good time.

The second assignments based on online portfolio, 6 businesses relevant items and an essay based on Professional Life.

I started to look at the existing designs and styles of business cards, letter heads and related items. I want to put most of my work on the site so I know this will be a big thing and will take a lot of time, so I decided to work on the site first and leave the rest to later.
First thing was the layout of the site and the logo/title. I did a little brainstorm for the title, made notes of what the title should represent and how it will be linked to my work. The list I came up with was of about 10-15 titles and I checked all on Google to see if there were sites under the same name, lucky there weren’t for most of them, and if something did exist I changed the words in my logo/title. I didn’t do a logo symbol for this site, just staying with text as title of the site. The site is named digiepoch, which means digital era/space. The word itself is pronounced something like digi ee puck. I kept Meet your highest expectations as slogan.I bought the domain as soon as I was happy with the title, www.digiepoch.com
