Haha something to reflect on i guess... ive just always put things anywhere and hope for the best ... usually leaving me with a half finished site that i never end up using ...
Its quite true that layouts and stuff in the professional industry should be well thought out ... good thing im not a professional =P
just out of curiosity ... what font would people mostly use for general text on webpages ... i find my self generally using sans serif or helvettica ...
Yeah, usually Arial/Helvetica or Verdana for me, and it seems to match with what I've seen... although depending on the flavour of the site I've seen Georgia and Century Gothic work nicely too.
On the article - I went to a talk a while ago, and one speaker said something like how artists and designers tend to think they're 'above' other professions because they believe what they do is based on instint and talent, some inherent knowledge that something works or doesn't without basing it on any rules, but that's not true - we base our work on rules, but just don't know what they are!
I'm still not great at justifying all my design decisions, but I'm trying to be more concious of why I'm doing things, especially when trying to explain to a client/my boss why putting bevels and drop shadows on
everything might not be such a great idea
