Which Colors to Avoid in Web Design This article helped a lot to understand what color styles should not be on a certain palette of taste. I agree that the power of colors in designing should not be underestimated. It is what sells the product or makes a design unique and special. This article explains the proper way to use neon colors to highlight or prioritize content. In most cases, the colors to be picked should relate to the product or to the artist's aesthetic. Overall, choosing colors that does not contrast well together will lead to disappointment. Appeal matters in designing and choosing the right colors will always be a plus in web designing. The artcile also suggested to use Adobe Color CC to match the colors you choose. I think that was very helpful because I did not know there were tools as such.

Chapter three of the textbook talks about how the overall look of the website is very appealing to anyone who's interested. I think it was very helpful how this chapter talks about hierarchy on a web design. It helps designers to shift the user's attention depending on its color, text font and image. This chapter referenced the newspapers's headlines where the bigger the font the more relevant the story will be. This reminds me of html coding, with heading elements with h1, h2, h3 and so on.  Complex websites for newspapers, blogging, or business have a lot of context. It was very helpful to understand how this chapter explained to put containers on each section of the website and put hierarchy on each container. It was also helpful that this chapter showed how to break up pages on a website. To not put a solid vibrant border around it but make it more appealing into the eyes. Seeing photos of web designs back then made me think about how important color palettes are. ...

The e-skin is a sticker that's flexible and thin enough to be applied on your skin with LED lights on it. The article talks about how this can be applied to many different technologies but completely disagrees on selling this product to people. I completely agree with the statement because LED on skin will definitely raise skin irritation in the long-term effect. However, if this e-skin allows LED light to be flexible, this can trigger a new design for screens and how we can access them other than attaching them on our skin in the future. The article also mentions how AR can be applied to the e-skin by targeting depressive people who are stuck in their own perception of the world and are afraid to interact with anyone else in the real world. I think, if this e-skin can be applied to clothing like gloves, it can be very useful to help people interact with digital object.

If medium is the message, what is the message? I believe the message is the content of the medium. The web contains all forms of communication that contains messages according to the content of the that it produces. Today there are many different websites on the internet that serves a purpose. There are sites for newspapers, blogs, videos and for gaming. Every website has an author behind each content that it publishes, therefore has the ability to manipulate messages. It's possible to blog about a famous quote that can be explained in different ways depending on the web or the medium. It's a bond where the medium influences how the message is being expressed.

Self Introduction Hello there! I'm Princess Bustos, a sophomore who's undecided of what to major in DMD. I grew up in the Philippines and came here in 2009. Ever since computers became big in my country, I spent a lot of time in an Internet Cafe gaming and browsing. This is why I decided majoring in DMD, but I really don't know what to focus on. I've been coding themes since Friendster and Myspace existed. So HTML and CSS are quite familiar to me (but I still can't remember most of the basic codes on top of my head). Filming, editing and animation are also part of my interest because it's a creative form of story telling. I'm looking forward to learn how to add animations on a website and how javascripts take part in coding. Article Response I think it's very helpful that the article explains different ways to layout images under the tag of media query. When the article began explaining how web coding became more complex with different...
