Creative aspects of web design

[gptsven]

sure you can learn web designing, but it takes some time, About 1 year ago I asked myself the same question, would I ever put up a decent design. and now, I did just that for webhost-choice.com you need to test out, webhost-choice.com has had 4 totally other layout styles, other colors etc before I got this final design. But anything I do now turns out great.

Id be happy to help you out a bit with your site, design, promotion etc etc if you want. interesting things can be discussed with me

Every color has it's meaning and feeling. [...]

For example, read this excellent article about red color.

Much of peoples' response to and interpretation of color is cultural. The article touches on this point, but then quickly drops it when discusses red's "meaning". The psychology and neurology of visual perception are quite active areas of research, but I don't have many references analyzing which responses are learned and which are innate (color theory is concerned with innate responses; The Joy of Visual Perception covers the topic more broadly).

Two more for the list (though I can't speak to their quality):

• Graphic Design wikibook. The sections are in various states of completion.
• TTE Online Textbook of Graphic Design

Lastly, if you're in to graphic design, you've got to read Tufte. His The Visual Display of Quantitative Information is simply superb.
