4/9 Activity

For my multimedia project, I plan to make my webpages look as clear and clean as possible while still being able to hold the reader's interest. I like simple solid colors for backgrounds, and basic colors for the font. The font I plan to choose will also be simple and easy to read. When putting together my project, I will add titles and links for different sections of the project, and make sure that the amount of writing for every page does not exceed 2 paragraphs. Usually, I feel that if there is too much text on one page, and if the writing is really tiny, then going through all the information tends to hurt my eyes and leaves me with a headache later on. Like I said, I plan to use a simple font at a decent size, so the reader does not feel overwhelmed when they see the page. It is important to make sure that the page is not too cluttered, and remains easy to navigate with all of the links to the different pages. I am not sure yet exactly what I want to do my multimedia project on, but I do have a vision of how I would like it to look. For example, if I were to do a page on the wives of King Henry VIII, I would have the central page as Henry, and each link would branch off to information about each of his wives. The colors I may use would represent the time period, dark colors, such as dark reds, purples, golds, etc, to represent royalty. I think that may actually be exaclty what I am doing my project on.

  1. I like the clean cut way you are going to make your multi digital project. I never considered my text color before as representing something other than being easy colors to read. I think that would be very interesting to see.
