Copyright Goodheart-Willcox Co., Inc. 536 Unit 3 Living Online Hands-On Exercise 13.2.1 Identifying Design Principles The design of a website should follow basic design principles. It should be easy to identify whether or not design principles have been followed. 1. Launch a browser. 2. Navigate to the World Wide Web Consortium website at www.w3.org, as shown. Note: the content of this page may have changed because the web is dynamic, but the basic design should appear similar. 3. Examine the menu along the left side of the page. Notice the contrast used to indicate level. Titles are in a larger font and set in all caps. Subtitles are in a smaller font and set in title case. Contrast is also applied by shading the large blocks in which the titles appear of background color, and the entire menu is a different color from the main background.
