Begin to Make Website for Designer

For most Print Graphic Designer, design and create a website would be a challenging task to do. As much as we enjoy ourselves working on the artwork and layout for it, those principles on print designs won’t aesthetically pleasing as it is for the print designs. As a print graphic designer, it was quite confusing for me when I was being critiqued by my client for the web page I did for his company. I found that even though he isn’t a designer, he knows the real function of the web page and the customer’s vision flow when they are browsing the web. I searched more resources about them. And yes, even though it’s basically part of graphic design, web design has its own rules. From the illustration, color scheme, and typography, it’s all what we’ve been familiar with in print design, but in web design, pay more attention to the effects (ie. gradients or shadows) as well.

Below are some great links to articles that have helped me understanding more about website design. Hopefully they could be useful for you to :)
