DMMT Chapters 1-3

Very straight forward, quick reading. Very obvious information once read. Makes me wonder if there is a manual for good web page design. Very interesting reference to the the modern mind's trip to easy boredom. The more web site observation, the more jaded we become, the more we demand in quick and easy function. Began thinking about how many people write or design from a saturated information base rather than designing for a person coming to the information for the first time. In other words, make the information as simple and user friendly the first time for people who have no or little web site observation experience. Use colors thoughtfully and keep verbiage to the minimum. Always seek to boil down information to the bare essence, Hold off to the last screens for intense data. Use pictures and icons before words. In my mind I began redesigning the web site I showed in class with this information: Replacements.com. I also believe that the site I showed as an example of a good web site is even better: kimcrilder. com for it's simplicity, beauty, lusciousness and keeping the focus on the subject matter of her art work and not on unnecessary words.
