Regardless of whether or not you're going to be doing anything with designing web pages- I think this was a good read for anyone. It's interesting to know the basics and notice these things when you're browsing sites yourself. Especially with the alignment technique. You never really notice it because it's so easy and appealing to the eye. But if you look at a few popular pages you can see the repetition.
Some of what I read were things I kind of already knew. But, many things pointed out certain aspects I should pay more attention due to them being common mistakes.
Proximity seemed like it would be simple but it's one of those things that if you're not careful, it can definitely confuse your viewers and alter the meaning (visual and textual) of your site.
Even though there are a lot of technical things that go into making a webpage- I believe a lot of it is an art that needs a bit of creativity. Focal point, colors and contrast, etc.
This was such a good review before our final project since all the material we collect is going to be on a site and would need to be presented properly.
After creating our individual parts, it's our job to make the site conducive to bringing all of them together in a creative, uniform way.
