C.R.A.P. Josh H. & Billy M. Period 4 Web Design 1
Color • The contrast and intensity of the text and background. • Good color creates a page that is aesthetically pleasing and that people will want to visit. Repetition • Repeating formatting effects through out a web page. • Repetition helps to organize the information on a page and draw the eye to important areas. Alignment • Organization of content into tables, columns, etc. • Alignment is similar to repetition and offers another level of organization and clarity. Proximity • The separation/conjunction of elements on a web page. • Proximity helps to organize a page by grouping similar objects and creates a visual separation of dissimilar properties.
Color Background isn’t offensive to the senses Text colors contrast well with background Also shows good repetition http://www.sprawsm.com
Color Background is bright and distracts from the page Colors don’t always contrast Very little consistency http://neverpayretailagain.blogspot.com
Repetition Formatting varies for different sections of the article Organization is consistent for each article http://www.geekologie.com
Repetition No separation of sections with headings or titles Seemingly random bold words
Alignment Text is appropriately center aligned Three clear columns of content http://www.google.com
Alignment No hint of columns, rows, lists, groups, or organization Any text alignment is probably accidental http://www.arngren.net
Proximity Sufficient spacing between items on the list Clear separation between listings http://www.santasquarters.com
Proximity Little to no space between separate sections Information looks cluttered http://english.gov.cn
Failure to C.R.A.P. Background not only hurts, it moves Text is difficult to read Any attempt at organization is shown here Irritating 8-bit music loops in the background Completely unrelated images http://www.dokimos.org/ajff
Polished C.R.A.P. Information is organized into columns and rows, each well spaced apart from the other Text uses a simple font on a clean background Formatting is consistent in each element http://www.oliverwyman.com/ow
