cultures effected design
the example of japan publication design (tokyo design exhibition award,2007)
the example of england publication design, (design week cover, 2007)
When I go to interview, people may asked me " What is design?"
My answered is:" good design can improve people life!"
but what mean of good design? from Consider Reep's design principles: good design need to based on four elements, Balance, Proportion, Sequence and Consistency. These four elements need to operate in coordination. if one of them not equal, then it is not a good design. Expect Reep's design principles, good design may be effect by different culture and receiver 's habit.
For example, Japanese style is simple and image is must important than everything. So for Japanese design, they like to use typographic became their design layout main theme, and present the message, there will have less information(text) on it.
For other country, the design are most focus on function, they want their reader can get the message directly.
Culture is effected design, we may be different imagination on same products or things. for e.g: red is a lucky color for chinese, but you can also image red it present danger/ warming color. So good design need to follow four design elements and different culutre's wants.
"F" the meaning behind
the upper part of the yahoo.com
the bottom part of yahoo.comexample 1 : F-shaped bottom
"F", everyone know it is one of the characters. "F" is also effect our reading habit. Our read patten are F-shaped. That mean we will read from left hand corner , from top to down. So when the web design, also follow this patten. Most websites are designed with diagonal reading path, is made that reading would go from top left of the page to bottom right. So when you visit the web, for example, yahoo, google...etc, you can find out that their logo is put in the left upper part. Then you can see the headline or contents in the upper parts too. Balance is a basic principle of design and it will also work on web design. So that the most important piece of infomation is always put on top left, when the least important one is on bottom right. That why many website haven't placed anything nothing on the bottom right. The company infomation, such as tel, fax, e-maill or address alway placed on bottom left.

online media change people reading habit
Last post, I have talked that when blog became popular, people don't mind to share their daily life to other, that mean people not so much care their privacy. Also online media also change people reading habit. Reading the newspaper or magazine, there have reporter write about the news, the reporter have done many textual research on the news, we believed that news is a professional report. But from the blog, or some online news, may be the information is not correct or misform to the reader. It is because most blogger are lack of professional journalistic judgment and quality. All we read may not be true or counterfeit by other. Online media let people search and got the information faster and easier, but we need to differentiate it
circumspectly.

How to design a web blog?
Blog is all about our own story and you must written in first person. You may be post many photos or the cartoon you like. But it may destroys the contrast of the page and drive away the user’s focus. To create a eyes catching and interesting blog, expect wallpaper, we can still add other elements on it. First we also need to think of the layout. The page length can’t be too large, because it is not an article, reader will not interest to spend too much time on blog. So we can have a simple content, let people know what topics you post. Allow people to read certain posts, focus on content and context. Blogging and traditional journalism play by different rules, so that blog’s design need to be simple and bare-bones templates.
Why blog becoming popular
“A weblog is a hierarchy of text, images, media objects and data, arranged chronologically, that can be viewed in a HTML browser.”
Reference: Winer 2003, ‘What makes a weblog a weblog?’
In 1997, Jorn Barger an American blogger, best known todays. Coined the term “weblog”, and used as we blog by Peter Merholz in his website since 1999. Now have few hosted blog tools such as “Blogger”, that one we are using now. ‘ xanga’, ‘yahoo blogger’…etc. I also using yahoo blogger to write about my daily life. Blog are used to convey information, thoughts and feelings. We can share our life style to other, even we don’t know each other. Before we wrote down our daily in a diary, and keep in our drawer, and don’t want anyone know about it. But when web blog become popular, everyone seem happy to share everything to other. It is like we post our articles in a magazine or newspaper, but now is on the web. Web blog give a chance that every blogger can became a writer, their own story writer. Just to sharing one of my experience, I have writing a blog in yahoo blogger for nearly 3 years. As you know that blogger and reader are interaction, reader can left message in my blog. One day I received a message from a daily newspaper reporter, she request to publish one of my blog’s article. It is my first time that my article can publish in a newspaper!
