Web designing is one of the most creative tasks these days. This article will help you to get the basic knowledge about web designing with respect to graphics, layout and fonts.
Layout
As far as the layout is concerned it is important to remember that you stick to the standard layout because they drive more traffic to your websites. Further the standard layouts facilitate a better understanding among the targeted audiences. The three column layout used in the newspapers works better and produces good results because they are simple in nature.
You need to understand the importance of the white spaces as they are as important as the paper layout is in the case of the web layout. White spaces transfer an immediate attention over the thing next to it so it is important to understand the usage of white spaces.
Graphics
When you are in the process of designing graphics then it is good to remember that as far as the images are concerned think small keep the size of the image as 10-12 KB per image. Although we realize the fact that the number of broadband users is increasing at a rapid rate but do remember the fact that the slow retrieving pages are really irritating, when there are more number of images the retrieval becomes even slower so good optimization of your search results it is important that you need to reduce the number of images.
Another thing which you need to remember with respect to the graphics is don’t try and accommodate much content within the graphics.
Don’t use the images that blink, move and change. I know they are quite fascinating but do understand the fact that the insertion of such images makes the retrieval of the pages becomes very slow. Such images cover the text and it becomes difficult to read the content underlying in it.
Fonts
Incase you are learning on taking anything on the print then you might just remember that you would have been asked not to use Sans Serif but as far as the web designing is concerned there is wide usage of Sans Serif for text and Serif for the head lines. Sans Serif has been proven to be the most widely used font, because the screen resolution is not as high as in print. But it is important to note that you do not use serif for text because the text can be seen as blurred although you can use it for the head lines.
The next aspect which you need to remember is limiting the number of multiple fonts which you are using. Try and restrict the different types of fonts you are using, this will enable you to provide a professional look.
Further try and use the fonts which belong to the same families, like try and use Verdana, Geneva, although they are very common but they are found on all browsers.
