Subject: Visual Design Of Websites
Hi.
just wondering, any one able to give advice, help, tips, tricks and
techniques.
now, failed my two visual design subjects in my web site design
course.
and have to re-enroll for next semester.
the main problems i had was understanding layers in css, and how to
use
them in a website.
like, for example, a banner layer, conetn, navigation, use of colors,
proximity,contrast etc.
and also when i found my images for the site was creating, the images
were too big, and even though i used the width and height property in
the html code, still was too big and dominating the content on the
page.
also the color, was the wrong background and fore ground color.
and also, for my other subject page design and layout, any one got any
good examples, or tips of how to do good design and page layout,
and use
of colors, on the page, but still got the css, layers problems, and
not
understanding of the different page design layouts.
and the same problem with the images, too big, and not able to edit or
crop, using a graphics or photo editor program with jaws, without
sighted help, which i have asked my disability officer, for some
assistance.
also, for one of the subjects for next semester, will come up again,
with the developing a commercial website, and how it looks, and
functions.
and also, story boards, as not able to use a accessible drawing
package,
like Visio, to use with a screen reader.
so had to do it in word, and put tables, but still did not work out
correct.
sorry for the long message, but had to explain myself, about design,
positioning, colors, layout, etc.
if any one can help, e-mail me privately.
cheers Marvin.
