Why is a well designed website so important? YOU LOOK
Professional. YOU EARN Respect. YOU GET Results. First off...

Color theory The colors you design with are more than
just “I like blue.” It’s about what’s relevant to your overall message.
Color theory PURITY CLEANLINESS LOVE, ENERGY SERENITY, LOYALTY TRUTH, FOCUSED
GENTILE, ROMANCE WARMTH, WEALTH HAPPINESS, HUNGER SOPHISTICATION, EXOTIC NATURAL, MONEY STRENGTH INTELLIGENCE ORGANIC STABILITY NEUTRAL PRACTICAL
Contrasting Colors help draw attention Color theory COLORS CLOSE TOGETHER
ON THE COLOR WHEEL BLEND IN WITH ONE ANOTHER. COLORS ON OPPOSITE SIDES OF THE COLOR WHEEL CREATE CONTRAST TOGETHER.
White & gray aren’t bad Color theory
Picking a color scheme Color theory THE EASIEST WAY TO
PICK COLORS FOR YOUR WEBSITE IS BY PICKING ONE COLOR AND CHOOSING TINTS 100% 50% 30% 0%
Picking a color scheme Color theory IF YOU’RE FEELING MORE
DARING, THINK ABOUT USING CONTRASTING COLORS. CONTRASTING COLORS COLOR IN BETWEEN
Picking a color scheme Color theory WHEN YOU HAVE COLOR

Typography Forget the hype on type. First and foremost, let
the type work for you.
Typography Let’s go over some typography basics. Serif Sans–Serif
Typography Serifs Traditional Easier to read Great for blocks of
copy
Typography Sans–Serifs Modern Makes a bold statement Great for headlines
Typography Keep it in the family. Type families were meant
to be together.
Typography Din. A type family. Din Bold Condensed Din Regular
Typography By choosing a typeface that has a variety of
options you can create a diverse look that’s cohesive.
Typography But when you’re feeling daring... Choose typefaces that have
things in common.
Typography Choose the same typeface that comes in both serif
and sans serif. LUCIDA TYPE FAMILY
Typography Choose typefaces that have elements in common. ADELLE AND
GOTHAM HAVE SIMILAR WIDTHS AND X-HEIGHTS
Typography Go for polar opposites to create contrast CHOOSE A
FUN DISPLAY TYPEFACE FOR HEADLINES AND GO SIMPLE FOR THE REST
