Week 7 -Os & Colors

We learned all about Os and colors this week in class. I found the second lecture particularly interesting because I love photography and the whole edit process. It was interesting to actually understand the color schemes and how the colors are named with the hex value. I think I could use this for my pictures on my website and for my advertisements. I want ads that are bright enough to catch a person's attention but not so bright that it annoys them. I really enjoy pictures with high saturation because it just looks nicer to me. The colors become more vivid and realistic. I want to have two types of ads.

One type is the "typical" educational ad with a student looking studious while reading their textbook. That will show how the textbooks are helpful and that students need them from our websites. The second type will the fun, unique ads that are different and strange. I think being typical and boring gets you nowhere because everyone is doing it. Why do skittles get so much popularity? They have these amazing ads where it catches the viewer's eyes because they're so funny, witty and down right weird.

I also want the website to be available on Mobile Os because technology is mobile. Everyone uses their phones to look up movie times, facebook, etc. I want there to be an app for the iphone, Android, droid, and more. It has to be easy to use and of course, it will be free. I think technology is moving so quickly and the one who moves at its speed, will be the successor. A company will not move forward without any knowledge on the new technology.

  1. in regards to the mobile os market, you might not need to go as far as to create native apps on all the different devices, instead by utilizing HTML5 you might be able to create a great user experience for your site with a lot less hassle.
