Grouping
“Effective grouping streamlines the viewer’s search for
meaning and information.”
Design Basics Index by Jim Krause pg. 43
One of the most widely used sites on the internet is
yahoo.com. many people go here to get news, entertainment and check their email
all in one convenient place. If the sections weren’t grouped together and so
easy to find, people go somewhere else for information.
Harmony
“Visual echo is achieved through clear correlations between
color, styles, content and typographic elements of a design.”
Design Basics Index by Jim Krause pg. 54
This site, ascreativedesign.com, is a great example of harmony and more specifically of visual echo. The colors in the logo and repeated throughout the site. The font is stylized and professional. While they spelled color wrong, (colour is the British version ;) the title Adding Color to the Web is laid out in an interesting way with a clear sense of the relationship between the spaces and lines of that font. The content is also laid out in a symmetrical repeating way that adds to the overall harmony.
