Visual Interface

Visual interface is the most important mediator linking computer/internet users and there content. Visual interface involve conventions, colours, metaphors and typology used in creating a visual meaning.
When making a website it’s not only the information that your putting on their important it’s the way you organise that information on the page that really matters and which will initially engage the reader to want to read in the first place. You only have three seconds to engage a reader and to keep them from not pressing the back button is by making sure you have the right things on screen. The format matters, the colours matter and the typology matters so it’s key to get it right.

In this lecture I learned which it is key in establishing the identity of your site and doing so on every page. Knowing what information is needed and what information or images are just causing unwanted clutter. Navigation bars and search purposes are always best placed in the top left hand corner or along the top of the screen and lastly always place information into different fragments.

Its funny how such things make such a big difference without knowing. What people see is either going to appealing or not and the as nobody likes clutter I belive that this is the best way of presenting a web page.
