Today in the lecture we looked at Interactive/Web design basis then in he lab we messed around with photoshop, and we were given an assignment to do, which was to evaluate a website of our choice under 5 heading of our choice from the principles of the interactive/web design basis. i chose to evalute google under the following headings:
- Simplicity
- Typography
- White Space
- Layout
- colour
Simplicity:
I would see the google website as one of the most easiest and simpliest website to use. Its deign is simple which makes it stand out from other websites. It as a simple recognisable layout that distinguishs it from other websites. The message of this website is simple because of its search toolbar that is placed in the center of the page. It provides simple, clear steps and few instructions . it has a recognisable visual design with helps viewers.
Typoraphy:
Googles typography is good, as it doesn’t use to many typefaces. The only lare size font on its its page is it logo sign and that is very effective because it makes it stand out. Google uses sans-serif which makes the page look cleaner on the screen. The colour, size and shape all contrast toghether to give it an overall visual appeal to the viewers eye.
White Space:
Google uses effective ehite space all over its website, this helps to improve legibility, an give a ood sense of simplicity and communcates a feeling of openess and style. White space on google is balanced, its also uses both micro and macro white spacing.
Layout:
The layout of google is simple and easy to follow which creates a sense of order in the site. It is well formed and organised. Because google uses the most simplicist layout on its website it makes it more appealing to visters of it site, and therefore it communicates its infrmation more clearly.
Colour:
Google uses very simple colours on its site, but at the same time uses the design theory very effectivly. This makes its site more appealling.
