Iron or Irony?

Persistence of vision is a valuable principal found to have its place in designing. How visual effects persevere in the minds of the viewer can make or break the message it conveys. From the, strong, inflexible, rigid, sturdy, robust durability of iron like materials used, to the ironic contrasts of messages developed, a designer wants their message to create a lasting impression for their audience. Step right up and see for yourself is the unheard gesture that visual art always conveys. But the job isn’t actually done until the audience walks away with the impression created by the artist in their memory.

Peak-a-boo! Now You See It Now You Don't. Is it Magic?

Expressions of design on the Internet are something that is actually staring you right in the face most all the time. But we as novice designers are only beginning to get a peak of what really is an art called typography (or an art of perfection). Anyone can see the final product but what are the elements that comprise such efforts. Drafting an HTML code has everyone wondering if it is something so magical or is it just mathematically correct. Designers are constantly playing the game of peak-a-boo with the encoding. Do designers have something up thier sleeves? I would like to imagine it is a magical art in itself based on principals of encoding. The hand is quicker than the eye putting up web pages that can be seen in a blink of eye. But encoding takes more than a couple of blinks to grasp. Keeping in mind the basic principals of web design we can develop easy quick informative websites that will grab every one's attentions. I found a most interesting website called of all things "The Elements of Typographic Style Applied to the Web" by Richard Rutter, Brighton, 2005. This website meticulously addresses the principals of typographic designs one principal at a time. I strongly advise taking a peak-a-boo.
