C.R.A.P Design of My Website
I think the CRAP is really helpful and help me understand the tricks of web design. I scan lots of websites every day, and some websites make me comfortable while others do not. I had never think deeply why this happen. The CRAP summarizes the main tricks of web design, and it is very helpful for me to organize my own websites. Below is the CRAP that I want to use in my website.
Contrast: In my website, I think I will use color contrast and front-shape contrast. In color, I want to use green and yellow because these two colors represent the color of tennis. In front and shape, I will use different front size and color to show the reader my website’s topic. I think these elements should have a low contrast because I want my whole layout to be simple.
Repetition: I want to repeat an icon of tennis or a racket as the background picture of every page. The icon is a kind of grey color which does not annoy reading. The grey background image can represent my website and makes it more uniform.
Alignment: I want all the text and titles left aligned. Lots of websites use left aligned, and I think left align is really a good alignment because it can makes the structure of my website simple and straightforward
Proximity: I prefer that similar stuff stay together. By putting similar things together can makes reader easily find what they want and makes the websites clearly at the same time.
Miscellaneous: I will create a part of forum in my website where readers can leave message and exchange their experience. It will just like the forums in our wra website, which people can leave commons without log in.
