In this week , we learned visual design. Visual design is about planning how the web site will look. There are several vital elements that need to be considered in visual design.  The elements include 

(1) Colours of the website, 
(2) Font or styles of the website
(3) Graphics and multimedia 
(4) Combining all the element above into attractive layout.

Besides that, we also learned that user interface is very important element in website. The element that are must have in user interface are:

(1) A background that reflect the theme -colours or images

(2) Foreground elements that reflect the theme - context and links (title, headings, sub-headings, body text, illustrations and captions.)

(3)Other elements that support the theme - such as text, images, buttons, navigation bars, animation, video.

There are also issues been discussed in the class such as;

(1)using fonts that are easy to read ( sans serif,  eg: verdana, arial) , 
(2)consistency in website (arranging neatly, using table so that your content 'xlari'.)
(3)contrast ( using suitable colour matching)
(4)white space (provide enough white space so that user can relax their eye )
(5)loading (split the big image, so that the time loading the image will fast)
