The article "Basic Design Principles" talks about how to make your website ten times better than it would be or better then it already is. It tells the readers about ways to improve the look of the website and how it appeals to its readers. The four basic principles of design are alignment, proximity, repitition, and contrast.
Alignment improves the way your page looks because it looks "neater." It looks more professional when alot of effort goes into the way pictures, text, or graphs are aligned in the web page. Proximity deals with the closeness of multiple objects. This can make or break a web site. If your site is really "loose" as in a bunch of random spaces in between your contents of the page, then everything just looks thrown together. Repition refers to using and repeating certain elements that tie even the two most random/different things on your page together. Contrast is the overall look of your page. Colors, Images, and the way the text appeals to the eye are all examples of how contrast can be used. Web designers use contrast to "draw in" their readers by making the page a good site to look at. Like amazing graphics and colors that attract the eye are examples of this.
Changes that i need to make on my home page include making it look more "flashy", changing up some elements of the text, orgainizing the text more, and just trying to make it look more professional.
