Principles and elements of web design

Web design is a kind of graphic design intended for development and styling of objects of the Internet's information environment to provide them with high-end consumer features and aesthetic qualities.

The main task of web design is perhaps the creation of a website or a web page.

The process of designing web pages,web sites,web applicationsormultimediafor the Web is very complicated one and may utilize multiple disciplines, such asanimation,authoring,communication design,corporate identity,graphic design,human-computer interaction,information architecture,interaction design,marketing,photography,search engine optimizationandtypography.

Websites vary greatly in content, style, focus and a number of other aspects. A successful website, evidently, is the one that is capable of attracting quality visitors and retain them. The core of this attractiveness is its content. However, only content is not enough – just as a good product needs good packaging a successful site needs elegant presentation and promotion.

When creating a website or web page, the 5 golden principles of design: balance, rhythm, proportion, dominance, and unity should always be kept in mind.

The primary tool for web design is the creative mind. Critical, observational, quantitative and analytic thinking is required for designing page layout and rendering. If the executors are merely following a sketch, script or instructions, they are not usually considered the author. The eye and the hand are often augmented with the use of external traditional or digital image editing tools. The selection of the appropriate one to the communication problem at hand is also a key skill in web design work, and a defining factor of the rendering style.

A web designer's work could be viewed by thousands of people every day. Web designers create the pages, layout, and graphics for web pages, and play a key role in the development of a website. Web designers have the task of creating the look and feel of a website by choosing the style, and by designing attractive graphics, images, and other visual elements, and adapting them for the website’s pages. The graphics and lay-out of the site contribute to that first impression and overall image. Web designers also design and develop the navigation tools of a site. Web designers may make decisions regarding what content is included on a web page, where things are placed, and how the aesthetic and continuity is maintained from one screen to the next. All of this involves skill and training in computer graphics, graphic design, and in the latest in computer and web technology. Site quality content must be balanced with good graphics at all times. Any graphic image which has a directional aspect should be placed to point towards the most important section of the page. If you have a picture of a bird on the top left corner of your page, make sure it is facing inward and that its beak is leading the eye to the centre of the page, not away from it. The same applies to all graphics. Faces should 'look' to the centre of the page. Cars should be 'parked' facing towards the centre of the page. Roads, neck ties etc. should all be placed to lead the eye across from left to right, or down from top to bottom.

Any web design must be stylish, using original illustrations, not downloaded ones. When designing, the target audience and subject must be addressed. The overall effect should be that of exclusivity.
