Week 7: CLEAR: Effective Layouts

This week something that was very clear to me was what types of things should be avoided in order to make an effective web layout. A good layout must be readable, not cluttered and effectively use fonts, colors and themes.

Some things you want to avoid when making a lay out are pictures that are to small. Small pictures are hard to see and are very ineffective. You also want to give a lot of thought into your placement of pictures and words on the page. The placement should look organized and not random. You also don't want to use images that have too much going on. The best layouts in my opinion are simple and organized. Another thing that should also be avoided are pixilated images and distorted images. These only make the layout look cheap and unprofessional.
