What I Like about this website is the drop down menu on the navigation bar and I hope to implement this into my own website.

The Design –
Here I will look at this site’s design under the following design headings- Contrast Repetition Alignment Proximity
Contrast –
This site has great contrast with the black background and the white background behind the products which gives great contrast as well as the hot pink logo and special offers being put in the pink which really stand out from the background.

Repetition –
This site has very good repetition as you navigate through the site the background, header, footer, logo, colour scheme and type all stay the same which is very important as well as the navigation bar stays in the same place throughout the whole website this is essential for a website so that the user knows where to go no matter what page you are on, your navigation bar should not change throughout the site unless your design implements that.
There is also repetition between all the pages with the images having the same background and in the same positions this lets the user know that they are images to do with this site where as if a image dramatically changes some users might not know whether

    For the colour theme of my site I have decided on the use of ‘baby blue’ and ‘white’. On my homepage (above) I will be keeping text short and sweet with images displaying some of my products and clever witty introductions to attract users to my site. I have went for the ‘less is more’ approach in the sense that the layout is not crammed with information but more so that it is laid out effectively so that each area can attract attention, whether it be my links, Sign In / Register or Search.…
