Web Design
ENG 330

• Color site of the day from :
  Jon and Dom and Rene

First, here is the Kuler site from Adobe. Today’s topics are color theory and color on the Web.

Reading: HTML & CSS Chapter 11.

1. We have seen some earlier sites that discuss images. Take a look (back?) at the WPDFD discussion of images and pallettes.
2. Here’s a site to convert RGB values to Hexadecimal code RGB to Hex converter.
3. General color theory and resources Color Matters.
4. Try the Color Wizard or Spin the Wheel from Colors on the Web
5. Color Scheme Designer, sort of like Kuler

But Web designers seem less concerned with traditional color theory that deals with color Harmony. I’ve scanned in a color wheel and some graphics that show color schemes.

Test #2 on Tuesday. The quiz (quest?) will cover material from Feb. 7 through today. That means the topic areas are:

• Photoshop intro (JPEG, GIF)
• CSS, CSS layouts, lessons from handcoding (review chapters 13, 15, be able to troubleshoot some CSS)
• Images and file size
• Design principles
• Typography (see the Counterspace site).
• Navigation and usability
• Color

Readings: HTML & CSS chapters 11, 12, 13, 5, 16, 18; handouts on CSS basic and layout (About.com)

And look again at the Top 10 Image tips plus Top 12 Type tips.
