The website http:\/\/photoshopetiquette.com\/<\/a> is very interesting to look at.\u00a0 The design is very simple and easy to navigate through.\u00a0 The entire page just scrolls down and each section are in bold font, so it stands out against the subtitles.\u00a0 Although the site is split into different sections as one scrolls down, there is unity throughout the page.\u00a0 For example, the font is the same typeface throughout, but the sizes of the subheadings are smaller than the headings.\u00a0 This shows visual hierarchy between the different sizes of font.\u00a0 Furthermore, the colors are all the same tint.\u00a0 The rule of thirds was used effectively in the website because all of the information is formatted in the middle, and there is equal negative space on either side.\u00a0 Therefore, the site is very balanced.\u00a0 Repetition is used a great amount throughout the page, as well.\u00a0 For instance, there is a dotted line that is repeated throughout the entire site.\u00a0 Also, there is emphasis on the heading for each section with the dotted line, which makes them look isolated.<\/p>\n

Next, the colors of the Photoshop Etiquette page flow very well and go together effectively.\u00a0 When the page is first open, the first section is very monochromatic, but as one scrolls down through the website, the colors begin to change into a triadic color scheme.\u00a0 The first part of the page that is seen when the site is open is different blues and white.\u00a0 The color blue makes the reader feel at ease, while as if the designer would have made the first page red, the user would have felt alarmed or cautioned.\u00a0 Moreover, the white title on the first section of the page is the dominant color and shows power against the subtitle in light blue underneath it.\u00a0 The background color changes from light to dark and back to light throughout the page, which is a subtle texture.\u00a0 This effectively gives the site depth as the reader scrolls through it.\u00a0 In addition, when the background switches color, the text changes color.\u00a0 The changing colors helps make each section isolated from the others.<\/p>\n

Not only are the colors helping make the page successful, the recognizable shapes before each section show the reader what they will be looking at next.\u00a0 For example, the picture before the images section is a picture of the icon for pictures.\u00a0 There are icons on the left side of each subsection to read the information for that section, along with a twitter button below to \u201cre-tweet\u201d that section for others to see.<\/p>\n

As a whole, this website works and is visually appealing.\u00a0 It has a large amount of information within it, and it is not busy.\u00a0 The creator keeps the design simple and uses triadic and monochromatic colors to emphasize depth and separate each section.\u00a0 The familiar shapes enhance the site and preview what information will be in the sections.\u00a0 The typeface is easy to read, and the format of the site is well organized.\u00a0 Overall, this website efficiently follows all of the design principles in an attractive way.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
