Weeks 13-14

Weeks 13-14 

Layout and design are exceptionally important to me. I come from a family of business owners. My sister is a graphic designer and my dad has created dozens of websites for his business. I have uncles who are marketers and professional photographers, and an aunt who is an artist. Overall, I’ve been taught from a young age that presentation is essential for success. 

While I was looking for good website design, I stumbled across this website, https://www.canva.com/learn/website-color-schemes/ which links to 50 other websites with exceptional use of design—especially color scheme. I was so mesmerized by many of the websites that even after I’d finished the assignment, I still took time to look through the rest. I learned so much about making a webpage visually pleasing and balanced. I really recommend checking it out. 

It also links to this site, https://www.awwwards.com/sites/van-gogh-museum which includes the winners of several different categories of web design winners. Whether you’re into modern, striking, high-contrast design, simple and understated layout or faded, vintage nuance, you won’t be disappointed by the dozens of examples on this site of simply exceptional visual design. 

This week I wanted to share an editing tip that I found on the web. It has proved very helpful to me as I’ve proofread work! I hope that you, also, will find it useful.
