... Abstract This paper will present some of the best web design practices for development and design foundations with XHTML. The continuous web technology improvement has made it more efficient for web developers to design a website for e-commerce and social networking to reach a specific target audience. Introduction There are several elements to take into consideration when designing a website, applying best practices to the web design are very important. The website organization is largely determined by the website architecture with three common types of web organization, which will be presented in this paper. The designer must concentrate on the target audience for the website and constantly take into account how the target audience will view the website. The designer should adhere to the recommendations of the World Wide Web Consortium (W3C) and run the web site’s Web addresses via their appropriate assessment tools to be certain that the highest possible standard of accessibility is provided. The content in addition to structure of the website ought to be meticulously designed for simplicity use and provide concise information to the visitor. The overall presentation of the website is required to be eye appealing without overwhelming graphics and sounds, although graphics help make webpages compelling and provide the user interactivity, the design should not use more media than needed. An important part of the designers planning involves continuous...

...The purpose of writing this paper is to showcase my skills, special talents, and career desires. By explaining events from my life, I plan to give insight into who I am as a person and what I have to offer to potential employers. I will provide personal experiences, which pertain to me acquiring certain skill sets and also research about the graphic design market. My goal in this paper is to show the drive, passion, and love I have for becoming a graphic designer and artist. To achieve this goal, I have organized my paper into four main sections. In the first section, I provide an account of four important events in my younger years: winning a drawing contest for a local church, taking art lessons with a very talented local artist in the low country, winning first prize at the Coastal Carolina State Fair, and working for a small graphics business. In the second section, I discuss my transition from high school into college with art, the skills I have attained, and my MBTI test results. My paper draws to an end with a third section that offers research of the graphic design market which is the field I chose to major in while attending college concludes with a fourth section that discusses the importance of what success means to me. I also include a resume attached after my bibliography. Before I can begin the examination of my four main sections, however, I need to provide some insight into who I am; it is to this that I now turn. I’m a simple southern girl who was born and...

...In the job searching I have done over the past years and the research I have done this week I have discovered what I found 7 years ago and what I found out today remains the same. Most companies like “Turn 5” are looking for you to have your AA or BFA in Graphic Design and 1-2 years’ experience to become junior staff designer. I qualify for most job but most are looking for someone to have their BFA and at least 2 years of professional experience. I have a lot of free-lance experience but not professional and I am very behind on software updates. I feel as soon as I brush up on my skills with the new software and show these companies that I am taking the initiative and going back to school it will vastly increase my probability of getting a good job. At this moment I feel almost unmarketable on paper but I know I am more than able to do all the specific skills that are requested. Turn 5 American Muscle is seeking a designer that has core graphic design principles that include; typography, composition, and color theory. They are looking for a creative thinker and a team collaborator with strong typography skills.

...Derranique Dabney March 31, 2014 Senior Project Research Paper Mrs. C. Cooper All of us at one time or another has browsed the internet. The internet has become such an important part of our everyday lives; it is no longer possible to escape the internet and what is has to offer. Successful web design relies heavily upon a visual concept. Without effective visual design, almost everything on the internet is meaningless. It is visual design that grabs people's attention and encourages them to analyze the piece more carefully. The internet is a primarily visual realm, which is why interactivity, visual elements, and new technologies are such important aspects of great web design. “Since the 1990s (and really, for a select few people, even before that) website design was something that developed very, very quickly and changed rapidly over time. Website companies across the board have taken time and care to make sure that they are innovative and pushing boundaries, while also providing for viewers, visitors, and customers everything that they could possibly need to get the most out of their respective websites and other uses. Today, HTML5 looks poised to be one of the website designs of the future, but how exactly did we get here to where we are? And where have we come from with web design theory and practice, to reach 2013? Back in the early 1990s, HTML (the first iteration) was considered major website technology and innovation. Since then, CSS 1 and CSS 2, Javascipt, Flash...

...Jacob Kleintz FYWT Christa DiMarco Research Paper A Culture of Rejection Graphic designer David Carson reflected the grunge culture of the 1990’s through his design of the first issue of the music magazine, Raygun which was published November of 1992. Grunge itself, has its roots in the new music that was emerging as America entered the 90’s. Much of the music shows a disenchantment with society and a sense of entrapment. In 1992, music critic Simon Reynolds said about teenagers in the 90’s, “…there’s a feeling of burnout in the culture at large. Kids are depressed about the future.” By the early 1990's a majority of young adults found the pop music of the time had become too dull and boring. Due to this fact teens turned to a more alternative sound. They found this sound to be produced by college radio and small time record label companies. (Benner). By the start of the 90’s grunge was not only moving to new areas but also began making their own music. Grunge musicians rejected expensive, highly staged performances; most would not use pyrotechnics or other complicated lighting and visual effects during their shows. Grunge ironically arose from a complete rejection of culture (Berman). Carson's style of typography experimentation influenced the development of the deconstructed style of design and a whole new era of designers. The experiments by Carson and other Ray Gun designers were chaotic, abstract and distinctive, but sometimes illegible. The magazine's radical subject...

...The designer uses his skills to help people with a rare genetic disorder. Andrew has partnered with NF Mid-Atlantic to support people with Neurofibromatosis (NF). The designer was challenged by Bernard Canniffe, a professor at Maryland College of Art (MICA), to develop a project that would involve the local community. Shea was a teaching assistant to the professor and had a special appreciation for the tradition in MICA where graphic students were required to partner and work with underfunded and underserved communities. The challenge was to create a familiarization campaign about NF, a disease that causes tumors to grow on nerve endings. Shea - together with the students - developed bean bag toys to teach kids about the tumors, set up an interactive website, came up with a 16-page tabloid newspaper and developed a new logo for the NF Mid-Atlantic. Upon presenting the project to national awareness body, NF Mid-Atlantic it was rejected. The grounds for rejection...

...Crowdsourcing In the first half of this paper, I will examine the invention and growth of crowdsourcing in the field of interface design. Second, I will describe the impact that crowdsourcing has had on the field of interface design. Third, I will discuss at least 3 benefits of incorporating crowdsourcing in a design project. Finally, I will discuss at least 3 challenges of incorporating crowdsourcing in a design project. The invention of and growth of crowdsourcing in the field of interface design has grown exponential. Alsever (2007) states that the basic idea of crowdsourcing is to “tap into the collective intelligence of the public at large to complete business-related tasks that a company would normally either perform itself or outsource to a third-party provider”. This means that companies would utilize the benefits of outside sources to help accomplish a certain goal or criteria that the company can capitalize on. Unlike outsourcing, crowdsourcing utilizes the resources that can be found in the United States. Small businesses with tighter budgets utilize crowdsourcing to obtain ideas for their user interface at a fraction of the cost. For example, a start-up company called ‘Health Junky’ wants a logo for their company but they do not want to pay a professional $1,000 for their ideas. Instead, they utilize the crowdsource to obtain a plethora of ideas on their new logo. They pay the winner of the logo design $100 and save 90% by using a crowdsource. Therefore...

...What is user interface design? User interface design or user interface engineering is the design of computers, appliances, machines, mobile communication devices, software applications, and websites with the focus on the user's experience and interaction. The goal of user interface design is to make the user's interaction as simple and efficient as possible, in terms of accomplishing user goals—what is often called user-centered design. Good user interface design facilitates finishing the task at hand without drawing unnecessary attention to itself. Graphic design may be utilized to support its usability. The design process must balance technical functionality and visual elements (e.g., mental model) to create a system that is not only operational but also usable and adaptable to changing user needs. A user interface is the system by which people (users) interact with a machine. The user interface includes hardware (physical) and software (logical) components. User interfaces exist for various systems, and provide a means of Input, which allows the users to manipulate a system, and/or Output, which allows the system to indicate the effects of the users' manipulation. Generally, the goal of human-machine interaction engineering is to produce a user interface which makes it easy, efficient, and enjoyable to operate a machine in the way which produces the desired result. This generally means that the operator needs to provide minimal input to achieve the desired output, and also...

...first released in December 1982, running on microcomputers with internal graphic controllers. Prior to the introduction of AUTOCAD, most commercial CAD programs ran on mainframe computers or minicomputers, with each CAD operator (user) working at a separate graphical terminal. AUTOCAD is used across a wide range of industries, by architecture, project managers, engineers, designers, and other professionals. it is supported by 750 training centers worldwide as of 1994. As Autodesk’s flagship product, by March 1986 AUTOCAD had become the most ubiquitous CAD program worldwide. As of 2014, AUTOCAD is in its twenty-ninth generation, and collectively with all its variants continues to be the most widely use CAD program throughout most of the world.

The British Library is a bit like that – one of those places that you can return to and always find something new that fascinates and informs you. It is six years since we first worked with the Library on a project, then based upon a proposed Science Fiction exhibition. We are delighted to renew our partnership this year with a project that explores their huge online presence and for the first time we use archive sound as the source for the project. Our practice is based upon the printed word but now embraces the gamut of media and technologies that we use to communicate. Accordingly, we have progressively written our student project briefs for interpretation through a range of media. This project is possibly one of our most open in that, beyond identifying the particular British Library archive, the choice of topic, content, treatment and outcomes is all yours. By not defining specific media and outcomes for our projects we offer them as holistic communication challenges – deliberately breaking the perceived tradition of the typo/graphic designer just providing essentially visual skills. First and foremost we are communicators using design skills...
