Every choice has an underlying meaning
15 Apr 2015

“Good webdesign is about the character of the content and not the character of the designer.”

The statement which encloses our article is very much enthralling. Every word, every emotion every possibility have an underlying meaning. Nothing is indeed meaningless and reasonless. Our belonging, our passion, compassion and temperament revolves around the light of reasons and hidden meanings from which we cannot surpass but to which we can admit and modify.

When everything invoke for a reason, then even the miniature elements that are the constituents of web design behold a meaning. Whether it be a font, background, displaying styles, parallax scrolling etc.

Each of the aforementioned elements is characteristic of something or the other and tells the user or visitor briefly about the reflection or part of it of the website. Now, one should know what these elements mean in order to perceive correctly about the website.

 

Font meaning

Likewise, the element of font has certain meanings. Though some of the newbies deliberately choose any of the fonts but here I would like to take note that a developer must be very much meaningful in whatever choice he chooses.

 

·         Arial

Arial font is usually used when writing and maintaining spreadsheets and PowerPoint presentations. It is among one of the stable and conventional fonts like Times New Roman and displays the similar quality about the website as well.

 

·         Verdana

Verdana font is used for math documents, online tests, spreadsheets and PowerPoint. It is also used for instant messaging.

 

·         Gigi

Gigi font is actually the queen or the sexy kitten of the typeface families. This font ensembles the attribute of instability, creativity, elegance and feminine touch.

 

·         Impact

This is another font which is used for describing and comprehending masculine, unattractive, rude and rigid impact. Though this typeface is mostly ignored but certain people use this typeface as their web headlines or as opening text.

 

Colour perception

The element of colour also entails a number of details within itself and each colour has a certain expression which is suitable and best fitted for a niche age group.

·         For people above 70+ years usually appreciate light colours like white and blue.

·         For people between 51-69 years black, yellow, gray, orange, red and purple are best suited.

·         For people under 18 years blue, green, red, orange and grey are best suited.

·         For people between 36-50 years black, yellow, orange, red, purple, blue and green are mostly preferred.

 

Colour characteristic

Colour is an important characteristic as the colour displays and communicates with the user. Certain colours are vibrant and leave a feeling of rejoice whereas others perceive gloominess.

 

·         Red

Red is a very vibrant colour. Red is a stimulant and the frequency of quantity of red used is proportional to the amount of energy. Those websites which use red colour are usually based upon energy related scenarios.

 

·         Orange

Orange is a midway between optimism and pessimism. Orange can be used to demonstrate controversies or strong positive behaviour.

 

·         Yellow

Yellow embarks over happiness, positivity and optimism. Those websites which use yellow colour are pretty much creative and have a strong insight of procuring a positive future.

 

·         Green

Green is nature friendly and according to sourced based information, it occupies more colours in the spectrum in the visible region. Green is a penetrating colour.

 

·         Natural Green

This colour is pretty much the symbol of tranquillity and peace.

 

·         Blue

Blue is the most appreciated and welcomed colour. It is the symbol of understanding, comprehension, trust, reliability and expresses exhilaration as well. Those websites which incorporates blue colour like SpiralClick obeys the factor of trust and are capable of fulfilling their assigned responsibilities.

 

·         Gray

Gray is the colour of knowledge, wisdom and intellect.

 

Everything has an underlying meaning and it is considered pretty much wise to use anything regarding its meaning while not considering the meaning perceives the sensation of ludicrous and hasted attitude.
