Introduction to Design

   I would bet that you are not a trained artist or designer. Most people that go into web design have not been trained in traditional design skills. Design is a major component of this class. How can you make an easy to navigate web site that is packed with great information and also looks fantastic?
   The Internet is full of poor design - sites that have poor graphics, underlined text that does not link, corny animated gifs, all caps, type that is too large, frames with scroll bars, tables with borders ... (I could go on and on.). Our goal is to train your eye so that you at least have a good idea of what is and is not good design.
