AESTHETICS.

from what i can understand about aesthetics is that it deals with many different ideas and notions of the beautiful, the ugly, the sublime, the comic and so it goes on. i also believe it has something to do with your emoptions in terms of your own sense of beauty and what you personally find visually attractive.

there are many sites that i find visually pleasing for many reasons which deal with text, layout, colours etc. for me i like the text to be big enough so i dont have to strain my eyes and in a colour that is easy to read when it is against a different coloured back ground. i personally like clean websites that arnt crowded (my blog spot is an excellent example of how i dont like it). so web sites that i do like include:

Eolo Perfido as it is very simple and easy to use. the text is easy to read and in white which stands out from the two toned dark grey/green background. the website is easy to navigate which is a bonus as things i dont get i have nothing to do with them. Eolo Perfido's work is also visually pleasing which also helps with the overall aesthetic of the website.

YU. is also another example of something that i find visually pleasing as it is simple but also has its own style. the white background is clean and the use of the grey text works well with the overall theme of the website. the use of the circle which works with the cursor that goes over a picture also makes the website more interesting.

everyone strives for a visually pleasing website but there are many out there that people just hate and there are people that show these ugly websites to others just to get a laugh. there are many reasons why one might think that a website is ugly, for me personally it is rank colours and bland backgrounds for example:

i find the austin homepage a really terrible website as i think some of the text is lost within the background. and i just dont like the colour green properly as fluoro green was a school colour and it brings up memories.


when i created my blogspot i wanted people to remember it and that is what i have done as every week joe refers to how large my title font is....and says im 'self indulged' or something like that. to be honest with you i couldn’t care less what he said about it but i know he has looked at it and remembers which was my main purpose.
