More design tips

The folks at TechSoup continue to provide quick and salient information about web design - I’ve blogged about a lot of these - but a reminder almost always helps. The article (which you should read) mentions 5 Principles - here’s my favorite:

Design is not Art.

Art is about personal expression. It is about the life, the emotions, the thoughts and ideas of the artist. It matters very little what observers do; their activity is not required, only their appreciation. The practice of Art doesn’t require them. It is a necessary activity for the artist and the artist alone.

Creating a terrific design is hard work - but you can help your designer by providing:

  • Your logo and your brand
  • Your audience identification
  • A color palette
  • A sense of screen layout - top navigation or side navigation for instance

The more you provide - the better chances that a designer will deliver something on the mark!
