The Four Elements of Design

The four elements of design, which are clearly stated in the article, are alignment, proximity, repetition and contrast. Following these simple design techniques will result in a visually stimulating website for the reader.

Alignment refers to the set up of the page. The author says that a website should result in some sort of order to create a page that appeals to the readers senses. Another important aspect of webpage is the contrast of colors , images, and words. The page should have visuals to help represent what the text is trying to convey. Having both these elements will result in the creation of website that appeases the visual sense. Proximity also applies to the visual sense in the fact that it refers to how all the elements of a website are set up. Where as the final aspect, repetition refers to both the visual sense and when the readers reads the website. Repetition of pictures or visuals might not be the best of ideas for a website because it can be boring visually for a reader but repetition of ideas or patterns can help a website be organized and look put together.

My website, I think, is appeasing to the reader because I have provided many visuals that help the reader learn about me and about why I put the pictures on my website. My narrative paper looks pretty good. The paper is not complete but the visuals I added to the site make the paper look pretty good.
