Design Theory #1

I found a pretty useful Japanese book about design theory~

Here is the Chapter #1 which is about the design overview of a blank page~

Fall's Coming

I CRIED over beautiful things knowing no beautiful thing lasts.

The field of cornflower yellow is a scarf at the neck of the copper sunburned woman, the mother of the year, the taker of seeds.

The northwest wind comes and the yellow is torn full of holes, new beautiful things come in the first spit of snow on the northwest wind, and the old things go, not one lasts.

Assignment #1

Introduction:
The first part of this simple assignment will be put to the test next week when we start to explore WSIWYG page creation. This week, we will begin to look at basic code and write our own simple page in HTML using Notepad. Next week, we will duplicate the same page elements using Dreamweaver. We will then print out our code, and compare and contrast the pros and cons of both approaches to web page design.

PART A
Using a text-only word processor such as notepad, create a working web page by typing your code by hand.Include in this document:A Page TitleA paragraph An ImageA link

PART B
Recreate the exact page you made "by hand," except this time, use Dreamweaver to build it.What are the differences in how you build this page? We can assume Dreamweaver is easier, but does it make anything harder? You can include these comments in your blog write-up.Next, print out the code from each file, and compare and contrast. Try to figure out if there are unneccessary elements in Dreamweaver's files. Play with deleting them in your code view. Observe which elements Dreamweaver adds that are useful and help your page. Keep extensive notes.This assignment will be turned in, in two ways. You will turn in your marked up hard copies, and you will publish the pages live on the internet via a link through your blog.

Happy Life Simple Design

Simple Design = Happy Life

an interesting theory of art

Today I read a really interesting article about advertising design. We always want to make our design look more complex, fancy and show off our mastered skills. However it produces a negative effect on the work. Maybe simple is another aspect of beauty which we are searching for a long long time...
