The Principles of Design

I found "The Principles of Design" article to be very fascinating. I used to be an art major and we discussed all of the principles of design and how to incorporate them within a piece of artwork. We learned the definitions, what they looked like, and how to use them properly. I never thought that these same principles could be applied to technology such as a website and Web design. The author of the article gets into detail about what his definition of Web design is and how the principles of design fit into this. I was completly shocked when I first read this article because I didn't see the connection, however after reading it I can now understand why it is important to use the concepts such as balance, proportion and unity within designing and creating a website. After reading this article I can use it as a guide to help incorporate these principles and related concepts into my website that I have to create for class.
