# Week 5: Visual design

Visual design - how your website looks?

This week lecture really reflects me. I learned about visual design either in an application or website.

Since I have my very own website that has been with me since the past 6 years , I realize that how I really care about the visual design of it.

Sometimes it takes me near 8 hours just for designing the header - plus few of times of changing the header . I don't take myself as a passion designer, it is just how i really want it looks as how i feel.

So, here is some guide on DONT in the visual design. Where some of these can be applied when you develop your very own courseware too.


1. Bad Font Usage
2. No Images, Text Only
3. No Paragraph On Long Articles
4. Very Tiny Font Size
5. Heavy Flash Usage
6. Body Text Above Colorful Background
7. Too Many Advertisement
8. Unwanted Pop Ups
9. Too Long Articles
10. Links Color Aren’t Visible


Among all above, as my very own perception, I am really uneasy to read a website which has bad font and of course too many advertisment on it. Unless, yes it is a website for advertising products.

So, guys, lets redesign our website if it is included in any point above :)

And I would like to share one presentation about visual design. I found it really interesting.
