activity 13

i am going to use a menu bar to navigate the pages on my website. i feel that it is very easy and you see everything you can go to right in front of you. some websites i go on i have to search extra hard for things i want to see. but a menu bar can make everything more visual and shorten you search time.

interacting will be the best fit for my website. people will be able to get results right away when they search for it.

activity 12

to achieve harmony and unity you must pick pictures that has the same colors and background. everything has to blend in together in one picture. its like making a collage.

to achieve simplicity you just do the basics. you dont go beyond and over or use extremes. you do the must need just do say you did it. you use the least amount of everything you need.

to achieve consistency you use the same pattern over. its like if youre using dark colors such as black and violet and navy blue you dont just throw in a yellow and pink. you want everything to be in tone with each other.

clarity is using a clean and formal language. no slang or curses or negative words can be included. you want to clear your point but you also want to do it in a way where you can show a 7 year old what you are writing. for examples instead of using the N or S words you can say african american or spanish people. this is a much more decent way then addressing people out of their names.

balance is when you have everything pretty much even to each other. you dont want to put a house on one side and basketballs on the other. if you put a house on one side you want to put another house on the other side to that is probably the same size and color.

i would like to create my webpage on basketball and colleges. basketball is fun and many people enjoy playing and watching it. there are millins of colleges through out the world. almost every college has sports teams and basketball teams. it would be very interesting for people to check out players stats and how their favorite team or favorite high school or college is doing. you can check out your favrite player no matter what division of basketball he is in. it would be better than google ing everything and it bringing up different searches of wht you are looking for. maybe there are high school students who dont play sports and just want to go to a great college that fits them. they should be able to contact and research the college with ease. there are many colleges that leave they number and email but are very busy and dont answer the calls or emails for a long ime to come. creating a website could help get rid of the havoc lookin for these things
