Colour and Typography
Black Eagle psp The Note II: Taking a Chance on Love hd

MarkBoulton.co.uk is a great example of how to use both colour and typography very effectively. Mark uses colour on this site to indicate the importance of the content displayed. I think that this technique is slowly replacing the traditional uses of things like bold, italic, underline and larger text as a method of information emphasis.
His book – Web Standards Creativity – was recommended to us and after reading a few reviews on it, I have now purchased it from Amazon. let’s hope it doesn’t disappoint!!
Colour alone can be a very effective tool in web design. Other than what I have talked about above, it can be used effectively in a number of other ways:
- Categorise sections
- Compliment the sites layout
- Add emphasis – warnings and alerts
- Promote added bonuses and extras
Sometimes colour doesn’t have to be used at all. There are a number of very effective Black and White sites out there as well as those that use colour very sparingly.
With all the talk of FlickR, delicious and twitter in last weeks lecture, I think it is about time I got on board with them. Having never used them before, I am going to concentrate on getting them up and running on this blog over the next few days.
