Web Design Review: Sonic Vitamins Dot Com

-

Here's another website I found with a good design. I don't usually like black and grey because I find them morbid and boring; but if used properly like what the designers did for SonicVitamins.com, they could be very attractive and effective. This design is simple yet not boring because how the designers put life to it by applying a good combination of colors and how they are positioned to one another. The black background creates drama. The grey background is hardly noticeable.

Designing a web is not easy for me. That's why I admire good graphic designers with amazing creativity. Their ideas are boundless. They are gifted.

Lent Inspired T-Shirt Print Design

This design is about a lenten activity called Visita Iglesia, a Catholic faith tradition wherein pilgrims visit five to seven Catholic churches during Lent, especially on Maundy Thursdays. From a distance, you can clearly decipher what the design is all about because of the prominent title "Visita Iglesia." For the background, I used a cropped map of Bulacan, showing only its southern part wherein the seven churches are located.  To give emphasis to the names of the Churches, I lighten the colour of the map and all its other elements which are not significant to the purpose of the design. The map, together with the church icons and names, suggest a journey of the pilgrims. For the reason that the upper portion of the map is irrelevant to the purpose of the design, I covered it with a prominent title. But the title was not enough to hide what isn't necessary. Furthermore, with the title and the map alone, the design looked flat and boring. So, I designed a logo for

Principles of Effective Web Design

According to Smashing Magazine , "usability and utility, not the visual design, determine the success or failure of a web site ." If the user can not find what he's looking for on a web site, in seconds, he leaves the site. If there's nothing that he can do on a page, in seconds, he leaves the page. Therefore, the user must be able to see in a short time what he is looking for on a web site. On the landing page, immediately, the user must be able to see what he needs. Therefore further, the web site must be clear of its main purpose. A message should catch the user's interest in order to make him stay longer or read further. The landing page plays a crucial purpose. What makes a user click on a link should be the same message that he must see on the landing page. National Geographic's tag line is " live curious ." Similarly, users of the Net surf curiously. If a user knows that the web site is going to satisfy his curiosity, answer some questi

A Contemporary Web Design for a Dental Clinic

-

This is the web I am designing for a F.W. Guico Ortho-Dental Clinic  . I made the layout a bit away from the traditional web design. You may call it modern or contemporary. Common web designs place the navigations horizontally on top or vertically in the sidebar. The main image is usually a horizontal rectangle that occupies the width of the page. The logo is usually placed in the upper left-hand corner. Most medical sites use shades of blue. For this non-traditional design, I placed the navigation in the upper left-hand corner and the main image on the right and top third. The look is a bit upbeat but without sacrificing professional feel. For the color, I was thinking of blues but my friend, Dr. Winston preferred the oranges, which came out effective. My inspiration on this design is the simple and minimalist designs of a German cable channel DW-TV  . I enjoy watching its news because the studio looks so clean yet elegant. In contrast, other news channels are cluttered with people
