IDD 161 - Blog

This site uses the elements of emphasis, contrast, balance, alignment, repetition, and flow.


Emphasis – the emphasis is put on the images
Contrast – the color contrast is good because the neon green works well on the black background because it makes the color pop on the page
Balance – the images switch alignment balancing out the page as you scroll through
Alignment – everything is centered on the page
Repetition – there is repetition in the color scheme because the neon green is consistent throughout the site
Flow – the arrows allow a nice flow to the site and bring up the next sets of texts and images nicely and in an appealing way

This website that I created for poland spring uses the elements of emphasis, contrast, balance, alignment, repetition, and flow.



Emphasis – the emphasis is put on the background image of the water bottles
Contrast – the color contrast is good because I used black text over the background which can clearly be seen over the busy background
Balance – the entire background image and content of the site is bordered by the green background which makes the page balanced and neat looking
Alignment – everything on the page is centered in the green border
Repetition – there is repetition of bottles within the background image
Flow – your eye is initially brought to the water bottles on the background image and the cap of the bottles point to the text and bring your eye there to read the content
