- what is the point in the website?

Background:
the first webpage was proposed in 1990 and published online on 6th august 1991 at CERN based in Geneva, Switzerland, although actually in a room over the border in France by Brithch computer scientist Tim Berners-Lee and Belgian computer scientist Robert Cailliau.
The Aim:
'to link and access information of various kinds as a web of nodes in which the user can browse at will'
Above is an image of the first web page

The worlds first web server;a NeXT computer designed and built by Steve Jobs.
Key Terms:

Some trends that have formed:
The decline of Skeuomorphism
the things on your desktop that look like real life things, for example the trash can
The rise of flat design
this is where the artwork has no gradient to them, for example the new iPhone update is now just all flat images
Single page web design
this is where you get to the next page by simply scrolling down and there aren't any links, the use of single page web design lessons your chance of being seen online as there aren't many links
Responsive web design
Type based websites
adapts to work with all devices phones ect.
Web Restrictions
- size
- colour
- font
As an exercise in class we looked at home pages of websites and say our immediate reactions to the page. I think our immediate reactions are important as we only spend a few seconds judging a website and how to navigate around it. Here I have tried it out again
fashion, art, young, photography, shop, pattern
formative, grids, easy to navigate
art, design, formative, articles, minimal, bright
