Pixels, Pallets and Other Pesky Details
Preview, Preview, Preview
I have lost track of the number of great designs I threw
out once I previewed them in a web browser. Maybe it was the
color combination, maybe the layout just wouldn't work.
Whatever the cause, I preview often and early to save myself
wasted time doing work I won't end up wanting.
How can you start previewing now? You already know how to
make a simple web page. Create one and start playing around
with colors that you think you'll want to use. If they don't
look good in plain text, odds are they won't look good
splashed all over your site as graphics.
Next week, we'll be talking about building your design
framework.
