Repetition
The main purpose of repetition is to make a series of different items cohesive. It brings together different elements, such as website pages, come together as a whole. There are several ways to accomplish repetition within a website: typography, color, tables, placement, space, size, etc. I've used several elements of repetition throughout my website. For instance, I used the same table placement for my menu links with the same background color, font, and font size. I not only used the same menu table, but I used the same font size and boldness for paragraph titles. Also, the pictures I placed throughout are the same size. By repeating these elements, my website will feel whole; it'll bring it all together making it feel like one element.

Sounds good, you seem to have a clear understanding of repetition and how to apply it to your website effectively. Sounds like our websites will have similar outlines and I'm excited to see how they turn out.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely. Cohesion is very important because users then don't have to spend time looking for where new information is. If they're spending less time finding out where content is, then they're spending more time on task. Good thinking about font size, boldness, etc. Looking forward to seeing your assignment. Keep in mind that I'll be using the assessment guide in our syllabus to review your work. You might take a look at the guide through http://richrice.com/3368. Don't forget to email me your webpage URL by midnight tonight, 2/16.
