Good Design, Bad Design

The two readings on good and bad design were truly enlightening. Often, I visit a web site and am impressed with the visual appeal of said site; however, I struggle to explain why I like that particular site over other less visually appealing pages. Now, after reading the chapters, I can confidently state that alignment, proximity, white space and typography are among the many things that set the good apart from the bad. As we head into our final projects and into our careers as journalists, I am glad to have this vital tool set and understanding in my belt. My page and my understanding of design is undoubtedly improved after reading the articles.
